Hi! I'm Kimberly Seltzer, a dating and makeover expert. For today's topic, I want to talk
to you guys about first impressions. First impressions are huge ladies and gentlemen.
It only takes 30 seconds to make that first impression. And, people are making judgments
and assumptions based on that 30 seconds. And let me tell you, it has nothing to do
with what you're saying. It is how you're presenting. I want to share with you two secrets
on how to rock out a great first impression. Ready? Okay. The first one is - and I know
this sounds simple - your attitude. It's true. Research shows that happy, warm, confident
and loving people attract each other. Whether you're a man or woman, it doesn't matter. And
this is something I really hone in on with my clients. I want to tell you a quick story
on this note. So, I was at a bar with one of my clients, and she's in her sixties. And
yes, I take people from all ages, going to different places. And, she had an attitude
that was somewhat guarded. She had been hurt before, so she had this kind of "shell" on.
So, when she entered a room, she looked either stressed or serious. And so I practiced with
her just being light and happy, and having fun. So when we were at the bar, we were having
fun. And boy did we get the attention for it! So - I'm not kidding - about thirty seconds
later, remember 30 seconds, a guy came up to us and said, "You ladies look like you're
having fun. I want to join you. What is your name?" And we had the best time. That's really
the magic. Remember, attitude it key. Okay, the second for a great first impression: your
clothes. I know, I keep talking about your clothes, but its so true! There is a message
behind what you're wearing. So always look and feel your best. And I don't care if you're
going out and walking your dog, or going out on a date, always look and feel your best.
I'm not saying that you have to wear a black dress to walk your dog. But even in your
comfortable clothes, really, really feel confident. So, those are my tips for today. If you want to
know how to make a great first impression, and you want to know "What Would Kim Do?",
