Written by Sue Shellenbarger, The Mistakes You Make in a Meeting’s First Few Milliseconds article discusses how people will make snap judgments as soon as they meet you, and how you can avoid common meeting mistakes.
Sue includes quotes about the meeting mistakes you make from notable professionals including Peers and Players CEO Lisa Peers. An excerpt with Lisa’s quote is featured below:
Lisa Peers, an actor and workplace-communications coach, advises clients to prepare themselves mentally to impress new acquaintances by pausing for a few moments beforehand to think about what they want to accomplish with the other person. She recommends using breathing techniques to foster relaxed, confident movement, and striving for “symmetry in your stance, with your shoulders straight and even. That first entrance in the room is the same as that first entrance of your character on stage,” says Ms. Peers, chief executive of Peers & Players, a workplace-communication training firm in San Francisco.
