6 Ways to Make a Bad First Impression
Are your non verbal communication skills letting you down? Most of us know what it’s like to mess up something important, like a job interview or presentation. Sometimes, we don’t know exactly how we messed it up, or what to do about it. This excellent video demonstrates six ways we tend to screw up with our non verbal communication when we are trying to make a first impression. All six examples are of non verbal skills – HOW we communicate rather than WHAT we say.
The video shows the amazing Michael Grinder, the world’s leading thinker on the micro aspects of non verbal communication. Michael’s skill at decoding the nuts and bolts of communication, and his talent for showing you what he means, is without parallel.
I studied with Michael Grinder for two years and his thinking underpins all the work I do on communication skills development. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think! Do you recognise yourself as Michael demonstrates these six examples of non verbal communication?
