Mastering First Impressions in Seven Seconds

People decide if they respect you in the first seven seconds of meeting you,

and it has nothing to do with what you say. It's pure psychology. The human brain

scans for dominance cues. Your posture, your tone, your microexpressions,

even the way your eyes move. In those seven seconds, the subconscious decides: Are you

a leader or are you a follower? Here's how to win that moment. When you walk into

a room, slow down. Take a deep breath before you speak. Hold eye contact

for one extra second, and keep your body still when others talk. Your stillness signals

control. Your calmness signals confidence. And your silence... that's power most
