How To Create Great First Impressions

Watch my voice thread about what I learned on Lynda.com:

Vanessa Van Edwards, a Lead Investigator at Science of People, a human behavior research lab, gives us some real tips and tricks on how to really sound and took confident, perfect a handshake, the best opening one-liners, and how to keep people engaged for the remainder of our time with them.

Before this tutorial, I knew that first impressions were extremely important, but I had no idea how easy it was judge someone just based on small things like the tone of their voice, and not even what they’re saying. I realized how much easier it is to really engage with someone and leave a lasting impression when you just work on perfecting those first 20 seconds.

    Hilary, I love that you used this assignment to perfect your soft skills! I think that the part about how long it takes to make an impression is especially important. You're completely right; a lot of people don't know how fast impressions are made, so it is good to highlight that the first couple of seconds are crucial.

    I also watched a video on Lynda.com! The amount of different things you can learn on that website is insane! Learning how to have the best handshake is definitely really important for job interviews, so this video lesson is really getting you prepared for life after college!

    Hey!, your voice thread was good and I especially like how you took a course on something that everyone generally knows but not in that much detail. I knew that first impressions were important but i did not realize how fast we judge people into them or how easy it is to pass a judgement.

Blog Journal 10 23 April 2019 Data collection and reporting is more important in the teacher world than many people think. Teachers use data collection even when they don't realize it. Even asking your students "let me see a show of hands how many of you would rather have cookies or cake for the holiday party," is data collection and surveying. Teaching at all ages has its fair share of data collection through surveys, but especially in older grades such as high school and college. After every semester in college, students have to take surveys on each of their classes, teachers, and even their TA's. If I pursue a career in education, I am sure I will use not only surveying but excel as well in my everyday career. Simply because grade-booking is something every teacher has to do. Although it's all on computers now and easier than ever, it's still so important to be knowledgeable in this subject for any grade level you may teach. Throughout the year in EME...

Blog Journal 7 7 March 2019 I've been a tweeter since I was a wee high-schooler, but since it's surfaced, Twitter has changed drastically. It's transformed into a professional, business communication tool from a silly, friendly social media. By using it in school, I've learned that it's a great way to combine the classroom with a comfortable online forum. We are able to keep it light and joke around while still connecting with our classmates and talking about topics related to whatever we're doing in class. Twitter is pretty easy to use with a very simple interface, so I haven't experienced any issues since it's not too difficult to navigate. This past week, we had to "put on our teacher hats" and create a website for whatever class we decided to teach. I used Wix to create mine, and I found this assignment super fun because I love incorporating creativity into school work and being able to put our own design and flare into projects. I ha...
