We all wear a mask. Each one of us has a persona that comes forward as a first impression. It’s our front we show to the world. This is not good nor bad, it’s just the way we humans filter the world and the world filters us in those first encounters.

What I want to know is how you come across when you first meet others?  Do you come in bold, loud, command attention, reserved, meek, looking to be helpful, trying to impress, conforming, funny…the list goes on. 

I would love to hear from each of you! This only makes a few moments so there really is no excuse. Simply reply here with two words or a short phrase. You just might learn something about yourself.

1. How you think you come across in a first impression?

2. How do others think you come across in a first impression?  (Ask a spouse, family member or close friend their thoughts. Be sure to answer question #1 before asking someone else what they think.)

I’ll go first…

1. Friendly
2. Magnetic

If these two differ that is okay. In fact, it is quite likely they will. Don’t judge or change your response or others. Simple write down your response and the other person’s. Email them to me. Then let it be. Practice vulnerability by playing along. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
