The Art of the
Introduction: Making a
Positive First Impression
Educational leaders who have the power and influence to hire you will want to be confident that
you can fulfill one particular goal: that you can
provide the best possible learning environment
and opportunities that their students deserve.
When you are leading a classroom of students,
each of whom has a different personality, background, intention, etc., it's important that you
demonstrate your ability to have control over
whatever situation you might be presented
with. To the person you are meeting, how you
handle your introduction speaks volumes about
your confidence in your ability to jump into a
new role and have a positive influence in your
students' lives.
Making an introduction isn't about quickly spouting out as much information about your qualifications as possible with the hope of impressing
the person you are meeting. It's about demonstrating that you can be trusted to know how to
handle the situation you are in, as it comes.
As we continue this series of posts to help build
your confidence in putting your best foot forward, here are some short tips for making a
lasting, positive, first impression. The list might
seem like a lot to take in all at once, but review
these suggestions and recognize that they are
valuable habits you might already possess or, if
not, are ones that you can develop as you build
your professional presence and network.
* Dress the part - Taking time to look polished
not only feels good, it shows you know how to
present yourself in a professional setting (see recent blog post It's a New Year...Presenting You!).
* Arrive early - You won't have to worry so much
about catching your breath or appearing rushed,
allowing you to be relaxed and mentally ready.
* Give a firm handshake - It demonstrates that
you have confidence and control of the moment.
* Be aware of your body language - All of
these tips are important, but I wish I could put
extra stars next to this one. Make consistent
eye contact. Listen to the person you are talking to. Be aware of your tone of voice. Have
good posture. It projects confidence, warmth,
awareness, and encourages positive energy...all
attributes that go a long way in building trust.
* Be interesting and aware - Have reading
material on hand for when you have extra time
waiting for an appointment. It reflects your desire to be knowledgeable and aware of current
events in your field...and can be a great conversation starter when someone greets you, easing
the unknown of the situation...
