In this episode of Beyond the Business Suit we are talking about how to make a good impression. Some of the things you will learn in this episode include:

  • The interaction I had last week that prompted this episode.
  • Why making a good impression is so important.
  • Four things you can do to make a good impression:
    1. Make sure your appearance is aligned with who you are.
    2. Make sure your digital presence aligns with who you are.
    3. Get others to talk on your behalf.
    4. Get feedback from trusted sources and make adjustments.

I also mention this article in Fast Company: “I Got a Brand Makeover and it Didn't Hurt at All” 

Quotable: “Without any other information, the impression we make and how we show up is all we have.”

    Hi Kailei,

    This podcast was fantastic. All the information you shared was spot on. I especially loved your quote, “Without any other information, the impression we make and how we show up is all we have.” I’ve never heard the importance of making a good impression articulated quite this well!

    Best,
    Alexis
