You still remember how they made you feel. What they made you think. How they made you act after the encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Were they trying to do that or did it just happen to occur?<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it seems powerful to leave a lasting impression on others. For business. For personal life.<\/p>\n<p>So how does one do it?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s examine&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Leave A Lasting Impression Tips<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>No Time Limit<\/li>\n<li>Show Curiosity, Don&#8217;t Judge<\/li>\n<li>Open Your Eyes<\/li>\n<li>Build<\/li>\n<li>Take Unique Positions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>No Time Limit<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve read articles and books about successful people. Some that have made impressions on others and some that haven&#8217;t. You get a sense of others when you talk to people they&#8217;ve been around.<\/p>\n<p>For good or bad, right or wrong, many politicians have the power to leave a lasting impression when they meet others. Especially in one on one settings.<\/p>\n<p>Something I&#8217;ve read about politicians is that the best ones often make you feel like they have all the time in the world for you. Obviously most people don&#8217;t have all the time in the world. Successful people are often busy. They have a lot of things they could be doing with their time.<\/p>\n<p>But the ones that leave an impression seem to be the ones that act as if they have all the time in world.<\/p>\n<p>And think about your interactions with others. Especially in the world of smartphones. It&#8217;s not a good feeling when the person we&#8217;re talking to looks at their phone. Yet we do it\u00a0<em>all the time<\/em> to each other. And before that we would glance at our watch. A moment&#8217;s thought of what time is it and when will this be over.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving a lasting impression is making someone feel like they have your entire attention. You shut the rest of the world out and you don&#8217;t care how long it takes.<\/p>\n<p>By doing this you can even make a short period, say a few minutes, feel like a long time. And you can make an impression.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re going to a meeting to make a big sales pitch. You will probably spend a couple minutes in the lobby with the receptionist.<\/p>\n<p>You can make a lasting impression with that person with a good interaction. If you give that person your entire attention as if you had all the time in the world it will be good for them and good for you.<\/p>\n<p>It takes practice. You have to give up some control of time and immerse yourself in the conversation. And that comes with a few other tips below.<\/p>\n<h2>Show Curiosity, Don&#8217;t Judge<\/h2>\n<p>I think good listening is a reaction to curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes curiosity comes easy. We talk with someone that does something we&#8217;re truly interested in. For example, if I were to meet a professional golfer I would be very interested in asking them about their profession. I wouldn&#8217;t have to\u00a0<em>try<\/em> to be curious.<\/p>\n<p>But if someone was a landscaper, for example, I probably wouldn&#8217;t be instantly interested and curious. But I&#8217;ve been trying to find little nuggets of curiosity with everyone I meet.<\/p>\n<p>So if someone tells me they&#8217;re a landscaper I&#8217;ll ask them how they make mulch different colors. I&#8217;ll ask them what the driver is for making a profit. Are some things more profitable than others or is it all based on man hours spent working.<\/p>\n<p>I can bring it back to something I&#8217;m interested in. I&#8217;m interested in the outdoors so the mulch question might touch on my interest in the outdoors and trees and things like that. I also like business so the profit question can touch on my curiosity in business.<\/p>\n<p>It seems to be about finding connections. Not taking the person completely out of their realm, but finding a way to connection so that you&#8217;re both interested in the topic.<\/p>\n<p>And with curiosity naturally comes non-judgement. You don&#8217;t want to start asking leading questions where you prepare yourself to judge the person.<\/p>\n<p>Say you hate oil and gas and you&#8217;re talking with someone in the drilling industry. You have to be really careful because you might ask questions without being truly curious. There has to be a genuine interest in learning.<\/p>\n<h2>Open Your Eyes<\/h2>\n<p>This from a psychologist:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The physical feature that is remembered most clearly following initial interactions are our eyes &#8212; especially their color. Eyes that are bright and open send a message of curiosity, the desire to get to know someone and let others know you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty powerful. I have bad habit of looking away and averting my eyes in conversation. I\u00a0<em>know<\/em> that it makes me look uninterested and unconfident.<\/p>\n<p>And I may be those things a lot of the time. But to leave a lasting impression I need to do the opposite. If I divert my eyes I&#8217;m like 95% of the other people the other person talks with in their daily happenings.<\/p>\n<p>This seems to be a trick. Look the person in one eye and really examine their eye. Look at the details. See if you can make a lasting impression of them on yourself.<\/p>\n<p>If you do that then you&#8217;ll be making great eye contact and they&#8217;ll likely do the same with you.<\/p>\n<h2>Build<\/h2>\n<p>Build the person up, don&#8217;t tear them down.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody likes to be judged or brought down in a conversation or interaction. We remember people that do this for all the wrong reasons and we likely won&#8217;t ever want to work with that person. We might want to get back at them, but never work with them in a positive way.<\/p>\n<p>We are attracted to people that make us feel good. That empower us. That make us feel inspired and like we can do anything.<\/p>\n<p>But we have to be careful with building people. Often we can think that we should give <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostblogwriters.com\/cutting-back-on-unsolicited-advice\">advice<\/a> when the other person may not want advice or may not be ready to receive our advice.<\/p>\n<p>Advice is great. But it usually has to come after the other person has gone through their entire story. They feel like you understand them. And they&#8217;ve asked you, often repeatedly for your thoughts on a situation.<\/p>\n<p>Go into conversations thinking about what you can learn from the other person and how you can build the other person up to be better than they were before your conversation.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit of a tall task, but even if you leave the other person feeling a little bit better you&#8217;ll have a good chance of being memorable.<\/p>\n<h2>Take Unique Positions<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re like everyone else you&#8217;ll fade into the background.<\/p>\n<p>This can come in the form of the questions you ask and in the answers you give to questions. Or the responses you give to expressions and statements.<\/p>\n<p>When the person says, &#8220;It sure is raining hard today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The common phrase that most of us say is, &#8220;It sure is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not very memorable.<\/p>\n<p>But what if we say, &#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen a rain like this since driveway gave out at my grandparent&#8217;s farm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That could lead to a story. It&#8217;s something the other person probably hasn&#8217;t heard a thousand times before.<\/p>\n<p>We remember people that say unusual things. Sometimes a little quirky. Maybe even a little awkward sometimes, but unusual and different. Not the usual cliches that most of trot out when we&#8217;re talking with others.<\/p>\n<h2>Leaving A Good Impression<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, just a note here that it&#8217;s best to focus on leaving a\u00a0<em>good lasting impression<\/em>. You can certainly leave a bad lasting impression on people. You could insult them. You could be awkward and one-sided in the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re aiming for good lasting impressions. And if your heart is in the right place. If you&#8217;re in a place of non-judgement with the goal of learning and building then you&#8217;re in the right place to leave a good lasting impression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaving a lasting impression seems good, right?
