Is your life consistently inconsistent? Being consistent is about practice, will power, and an understanding of who you are as an individual.

This week we explore the topic of first impressions, something we touched on briefly in last week's episode. Beginning the discussion with what comprises a first impression–image and attitude–we dive into what influences our perception of others.
