First impressions are so critically important. Especially in business. They say you have 7 seconds to make your first impression. What do you project? Amping up your attitude is what they suggest in the video. Thinking about the first 7 seconds, says a lot about your facial expressions. I have met some people for the first time and I will never forget the terrible experience it was. I better remember the bad impressions versus the good impressions, most of the time.

The seven seconds it takes for a person to judge someone is too extreme. I think it takes time to know what a person is actually about. If someone does not appear the way you think they should appear give them time and you may see that you were wrong for passing judgement so quickly.

I have decided I do not like this guy, and I find myself day dreaming when he speaks. With that said, the video was about first impressions and how you have seven seconds to make a good first impression. I disagree with this statement, I think you have more time to make a first impression. I have always been told for job interviews that you have at least one minute to make an impression.

Alright seven seconds that will be in my head forever. As i have heard and most of y'all I assume, first impressions are everything. I really do not like this because you get judged as soon as you walk into a room before anybody gets to know you or even say a word. This is our world though so you have to comply with it in the impression sense.

First impressions are a big deal. You have seven seconds to make a first impression. People judge you based on what you are projecting. People give off energy when they meet people, and this is very powerful. You should be engaged and energetic. This is something that people can work on and change if their presentation of themselves is not good. This is something to keep in mind when going on interviews and meeting new clients. If you can remember that you only have seven seconds to make a good impression, then you are more likely to make yourself look good.

great video! first impressions play a huge role in the business world and in our own personal lives. if we can change the way people perceive us then we can really shape our future. humans are programmed to see something for what it is. if it walks like a duck talks like one looks like one, its probably one.

Your first impression is something you cannot take back. Putting off a positive vibe will make people feel more at ease in the situation and more willing to listen to you. Branding yourself is always good. However you want people to perceive you is your personal brand and you should always put it forth so that people will view it as you. I don't judge people as soon as i meet them but I do develop an idea of how I may think they will act.

I completely agree that first impressions are EXTREMELY important. It's scary to think that it only takes 7 seconds to make a lasting impression because that puts a lot of pressure on that little bit of time. I think that I tend to make an impression (good or bad) in that amount of time because I have a big mouth. I tend to be very aggressive when I meet people and people either like me or don't like me instantly. I would have to say my biggest challenge is trying to make more good impressions than bad.

First impressions are lasting impression. Your first impression is the only thing people will remember will you by and if your first impression is a bad impression then people will prejudge your character and misjudge who you are as a person.

First impressions are so important. I like the quote that the speaker says, "You have 7 seconds to make your first impression." I have always loved the quote "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." I guess the two quotes kind of go hand in hand. Amping up your attitude, like he said, is very important! Although people are both energetic, and not energetic, those who are not energetic can always work on it!

First impressions are extremely important. Unfortunately, humans are judgmental no matter how much we try to deny it. When we see someone for the first time, we immediately form an opinion about them before they ever speak to us. Sad, but true. Therefore, it is very imperative that we make a good first impression when going for an interview.

Of course we all know just how important making first impressions can be but many of us may have not though the first seven seconds are very important. it's crazy to think that in only seven second you could either get a job or not or even make a new friend or not. I like to think I am not a judgmental person but I think we all naturally make first impressions. It's just something we do and we all need to make sure we think about ours and make good first impression especially in the professional world.

I agree with being able to leave a good first impression because you never know what kind of opportunity they maybe out their waiting for you.

Brand yourself... make a first impression that blows them away. I like that he points out there are 7 seconds to make that impression. "What do you project" ~ amp up your attitude... I like this. I like that he points out how powerful first impressions are and how quickly 7 seconds go. I think Anthony Sanchez is my hero when it comes to first impressions and facial expressions.

First impressions have an unreal amount of power, especially in the business world. If you make a bad one, it can be very difficult to recover from it. I do not know about seven seconds, but I for sure believe that the first few minutes in meeting someone is very important. As much as we may not like it, people judge. We may as well figure out a way to get them to pass positive judgments.
