  • First impressions happen in a flash, but they can stick around for ages in business relationships.  
  • It's not just what you say. Your look, body language, and those first few words all paint a picture of you.  
  • Want to be the person everyone gravitates towards? Focus on making others feel like they're the star of the show.  
  • Everyone’s favorite radio station is WKLN: The desire to be Known, Liked, and Needed.  
  • Challenge: Before you hit that next meeting or event, take a second to think about the impression you want to give off. Practice your opening questions and comments.
