Description

Ever wonder how quickly judgements are made? Join us as we delve into the fascinating science of first impressions. Explore the brain's "thin-slicing" ability, the impact of cultural biases, and how introverts and extroverts differ in this game of perception.

You'll hear our personal experiences of bad first impressions, and the absurdity of societal expectations. Learn practical tips to craft impactful entrances, from body language to conversation starters. Plus, discover how to overcome a negative first impression and how to know when you've truly nailed it.
