“What you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear a word you say.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

How many of you agree that the first impression counts? Have you been impressed by the neat appearances and poise of a person and then changed your mind because he or she did something out of your expectations?

Motivational speaker and author, Bill Lampton list out 20 destructive behaviors to watch out for if you like to leave a good ‘lasting’ impression:

• Interrupting repeatedly
• Dominating the conversation
• Inconsistent eye contact
• Standing too close, invading “personal space”
• Taking a cell phone call or even letting it ring
• Chewing anything, unless you’re at a luncheon
• Arriving late
• Being longwinded
• Risky humor
• Wrinkled clothing
• Checking your watch frequently
• Not listening, missing key points
• Poor table manners
• Boasting (I call it “I” disease)
• Looking and sounding bored
• Complaining about anything
• Distracting noises, such as tapping on a table
• Notebook or briefcase needing replacement
• Power Point that won’t work
• Cluttered office when someone visits you

Can you think of any other to add to the list? Leave me a comment.
