Fun Fact
Research in psychology has revealed that the average first impression forms in just 10 seconds — some studies suggest even faster. Within this brief window, people make judgments about your professionalism, trustworthiness, competence, and likability. This is why job interview preparation, public speaking coaching, and business networking training all emphasize the critical importance of those first few moments. Your body language, eye contact, smile, and greeting style all contribute to that crucial first impression that can be difficult to change later.
