Mastering First Impression: Making Lasting Connections – with expert coach Antonia Benque.

Let your First Impression create the impact you want!

Research shows that candidates’ first impressions during job interviews (Oregon State University) are evaluated in the first 20 seconds—and this evaluation remains consistent even after 20 minutes of conversation. We instinctively form judgments about others within moments of meeting them, deciding whether we like, trust, or want to work with someone in those initial seconds.

While many people focus on crafting the perfect elevator pitch, it's actually the first impression that plays a pivotal role in how we are perceived. This interactive coaching workshop will dive deep into the elements that shape first impressions, including:

• Body Language: How posture, gestures, and eye contact influence perceptions.
• Mindset: Shifting to a growth mindset for more authentic connections.
• Limiting Beliefs: Identifying beliefs that may hinder making a positive impact.
• Saboteurs: Recognizing unconscious behaviors or thought patterns that work against you.

Participants will leave with practical tools, actionable tips, and increased self-awareness to make their first impression count in any situation—whether it's in a job interview, networking event, or day-to-day interactions.
