Overview

A first impression is very important - and very difficult to change later. It's formed in the first few seconds after meeting, and people immediately decide whether they like you or not. Knowing that our job interviews, presentations, or any other important events are dependent on just a few seconds, we all know that the impression we give has to be impeccable.

Tatiana Kolovou is a professor in business communication, executive communication coach, and a long-time LinkedIn Learning author. In this course, she sums up ways to elevate your pitch through both verbal and nonverbal communication.

From the first impression, people decide if they can trust you and if you're the kind of person that gets things done. If you can learn how to manage your warmth and competence, you can positively influence how people perceive you. The important thing is to find the personal, authentic tone that you're recognized by. If your tone stands out, it's a sure way to be noticed and remembered.
