Do You Make Your First Impression Your Best Impression?

Within the first three seconds of a new encounter, you are evaluated… even
if it is just a glance.

People appraise your visual and behavioral appearance from head to toe.
They observe your demeanor, mannerisms, and body language and even
assess your grooming and accessories – watch, handbag, brief case. Within
only three seconds, you make an indelible impression. You may intrigue
some and disenchant others

from by means of the bodily organs; to take cognizance of the existence, character, or
identity of, by means of the senses
