10 Ways to Make A Good Impression

1. Smile - a simple way to make yourself seem more approachable.
2. Look up when walking - your feet will still be there, the people you are passing may not.
3. Say hello - even if you don’t know the person, saying hello forces them to acknowledge you and creates an interaction they will remember.
4. Always be respectful - a negative memory of you can stick with someone for a long time.
5. Go out of your way - do something nice for someone else without them asking.
6. Learn people’s names - it’s the easiest way to make someone feel like they are important to you, and they’ll automatically want to learn your name too.
7. Say thank you - all the time, to everyone you meet.
8. Listen, really listen - don’t only pay attention, but take note of important things that people say, bring them up in later conversations to show your attentiveness.
9. Stand tall - an open posture and body language does a lot for the way people approach you
10. Don’t lie - getting caught in a lie can greatly decrease the way others see you.

Bonus: Be yourself - not everyone will like you, no matter what you do, always stay true to yourself and remember that your true friends will love you for who you are.
