First Impressions
by Ann Demarais and Valerie White (Hodder Mobius, $120)
First impressions are important. They can mean the difference between success - getting that job, clinching that deal, securing a second date - and failure in all aspects of our life.
Most of us also know that those all-important first impressions are formed within minutes, often seconds, of coming face to face with a person. And once formed they're often set for life.
But how many of us know how to influence those first encounters to make sure we leave the lasting impression we set out to create?
First Impression: What You Don't Know About How Others See You aims to do just that by boldly going where some of us would rather not go - a place where we see ourselves as others see us. A scary thought.
