11. What Does Your First Impression Really Say?


Listen Later

Listen in as Sheley dives into impressions today, not only the impressions that we leave on others but also the impressions that we leave on ourselves. When it comes to how we want others to view us, we usually want to leave a lasting impression and put ourselves in their shoes. However, what we don’t always consider is how much of that impression is tied to what we think of ourselves.

You are your business billboard: how you talk about yourself or others, how you present yourself, your eye contact, your words, your questions, and of course YOUR HEALTH. Sheley discusses how your self impression is directly linked to your level of confidence. And your level of confidence is directly linked to your professional success. The great news is this is all something that we can control because the only thing we can control is ourselves. Sheley has been there too and wants you to tune in to hear more on how you can leverage your health in all impressions. 

Sheley talks you through five essential questions to help you align your impression of yourself with what you hope others see too including:

  1. How do I feel when I look in my closet? Am I wearing the same outfits again and again?
  2. What am I hiding based on the outfit I'm selecting?
  3. What impression do I have of myself and does that align with what I hope others see in me?
  4. What am I saying to myself when I look in the mirror or when I get dressed?
  5. Who can I team up with to help me or what is the one action I can take today?

These questions might make you feel uncomfortable, and that is the point. Expect to be uncomfortable and know that is the first step to creating change. This isn’t only about changing who you are but who you see yourself as, and it’s limitless.
