First impressions- a talk by Norma Novell

 RNIS was invited to Norma's talk by Perwakilan Melbourne and they took away a lot of things from that talk. Norma is a successful image consultant in Australia and she gave her talk at the Malaysian Consulate in Melbourne.

Malaysians are always positive and hopeful. They have a good sense of humour and their English is just as good as any Australian.

This was a positivity talk about how the first impressions last and how to make yourself look good to someone who you will meet for the first time (and maybe the last time). The first 40 seconds count and this is not taught in school. Rather it is self taught. It is from the way you dress, do your hair to the way that you speak/act.

Looks
How you dress and do your hair is important especially for functions. This is how people see your inner self. Make sure that you do your research about the place, the weather and all. Do find out the dress code and if you don't know what that style is then Google it.

Norma's tips
*You should be humble and kind
* Do have a sense of humour
* If you do something wrong, it doesn't matter. This is a chance to improve yourself.
* Respect people
* Shake hands with people and if you do have a business card then give it to them. The card tells a story about you.

Do try and be a positive person as many people will always befriend positive people.
