It would hard to debate that we each make an impression on others.
And for better or worse, that impression happens quickly. Often in the first minute of meeting someone!
This doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the impression you make, but you’ll get more of what you want when your first impression is aligned with who you are on the inside.
When I help men make a great first impression, I focus on body language and the “mysterious energetics” people feel in you before you say a word.
Since style is not my forté, but I recognize it impacts how people perceive you, I brought in an expert to help you have a visual impact that supports your work and love-life!
Kathryn Griffin is a style consultant who has fifteen years of experience in visual communication and design. She holds degrees in both fine arts and sociology, so she understands how deep impressions go.
In this Man Alive podcast we covered:
- The 5 Style Archetypes that allow you to make a great first impression
- How to use color, pattern and texture to support you to connect, gain respect and inspire others
- Visual Congruency — How each man’s unique body, height, facial features, etc. come into play
- How style can be the doorway to you being more effective and have a bigger impact in all areas of your life
- The physical side of Shana’s metaphor: “Using someone else’s lines is like wearing someone else’s pants, that don’t flatter you!”
Even men at the top of their game find themselves wanting more from life. Man Alive is the resource for men who want more meaning, a bigger impact, unshakable confidence, a hotter sex life, more money, deeper love, solid friendships or a powerful legacy.
