First impressions are based on appearance-posture, dress, grooming, facial features, etc. The impressions created by a beautiful face may be ruined by poor posture, slouchy gait, or careless hairdo (grooming). Although appearance may be deceiving, almost everyone reacts favorably or unfavorably to the appearance of each person he meets.

Whenever two or more people meet interaction begins. The process of human relations is an active force either for pleasant or unpleasant relationships. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work Chapter 00  SLIDE 31 CHAPTER 1 PERSONALITY and Human Relations Faulty human relations are responsible for many problems and unpleasant situations in life. Divorces, business failures, even infraction of the law can often be attributed to human failure to get along with others.

The consultant was a frank, brutal-to-the- truth kind of man who looked at him and said, “Frankly, I don’t think you will be chosen by the board to head this organization.” The senior exec was devastated. He said, “But I have the seniority, I have the skills, I have the qualifications and I have the experience and it’s a logical choice that I will be the next CEO of this company.” PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work First impressions are lasting impressions. But if you’re like most people, you probably can’t see the first impressions you’re making. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work like this. They claim that what they are in the inside matters more than what they look like on the outside. True. No argument there but how many people do you know have the luxury of telling people, “Don’t judge me with how I look, I am really a better PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work Here’s what you can do. Ask one or more of your close friends if you are guilty of any of the following image deficiencies below. If so, thank your friends for their honesty, and don’t take it against them but immediately do something to correct your deficiencies! Create an impression you want to last by being conscious of the following: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work 1. Your handshake. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work Some people shake hands with a limp wrist dead fish handshake and they think they are conveying humility by doing so. For a man this is a sign of weakness or disinterest for a woman a sign that she lacks confidence. Shake hands with confidence. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work 2. Your clothes. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work I hear consultants say, “Your clothes do not have to be expensive…” Now coming from years of the garments industry background allow me to tell you that it is extremely difficult to get good, respectable and decent business clothes from 168 boutiques. Just like every good thing in life you need to invest in quality. And quality costs money. Good clothes last longer and turn out to be more economical when used for the long haul. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work 3. Your Words. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work Now we’re moving into the less visible qualities that define your personhood. If you have a weak vocabulary then you would not be able to express your ideas very well and worst, people would not understand you well enough to respect you. Avoid mannerisms like “ah” and “um” and using slang and cuss words are simply not cool! I have also heard young women use words like, “Super,” “Awesome,” “Cool…” but they do not add value to your career development. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work 4. Your grooming. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work Long hair, sideburns, three- day stubble, bad makeup job, un-tucked shirt or blouse, unpolished shoes - says to people: “Can’t be left alone for a second with prospective clients” - also a sign of intellectual sloppiness! PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work 5. Your hygiene PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work Foul body odor, dirty fingernails, chronic bad breath - One of those things you want to ask your most trusted best friend about because (1) chances are, you can’t notice it, and (2) some people won’t want to hurt your feelings. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work 6. Your posture PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work People notice the way you enter a room, the way you carry yourself. Take a few deep breaths to collect yourself. Stand tall and hold your head up high. Walk with purpose and direction. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work 7. Your character PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work While it is difficult to assess the worthiness of a person’s character it its first and few encounters people could sense whether the person exhibits nobility by the way they speak and most especially by the way they treat those who are below them. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work First impressions do last and you never get a second chance to create a first impression. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work But one thing we need to remember is this. The Bible says human beings look at the outside appearance, God looks at the heart. This is why we have to make sure that the inside is clean first and the outside will take care of itself. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT for Life & Work
