There are 86,400 seconds in a day; yet it takes 10 or fewer to make a first impression. Every color you wear and every movement you make (your walk, posture, handshakes, eye contact, facial expressions) often speak before your words and definitely more loudly. Know what impression you want to create in every networking venue and how to create it. You are in charge of those first few seconds!
