Personal Impact Summary

Personal Impact: Make A Powerful Impression Wherever You Go by Amanda Vickers

Have you ever missed out on a job or promotion because you didn't make a positive impression? Would you like to be able to influence people and assert yourself more confidently? Do people remember your colleagues but forget you?

Achieving what you want in life depends largely on the impact you have on others. You only get one first impression, but in today's world, people are so busy and distracted that it's harder than ever to make a real impact on someone's life. Personal Impact tells you everything you need to know to be able to connect with people quickly, easily and powerfully. This book is packed with practical hints and tips that you can put to use immediately, including:

how to harness your body language to convey authority

how to handle nerves on big occasions

how to make yourself instantly likeable

how to master the art of persuasion.

There's also a wealth of advice on what to avoid such as carrying bags into an interview or failing to make eye contact when giving a presentation. Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

MAKE AN IMPACT.
