QUESTION: What do you think are the 9 things we notice about a person at a first encounter?
I will post the answers later this week. I will be in workshops for the rest of the week so by Saturday I will shoot you all the answers.

Oh Soror CT4, this may be kinda hard for me because I don't think that I really pay attention to that. But let me give it a try.
1. Facial expression
2. Tone of voice
3. Eye contact (this is a BIGGIE for me...I NEED good eye contact because it lets me know if the person is sincere and "for real" and it lets THEM know that I'M "for real").
4. Body language
5. What they're wearing
6. Smile (including the condition and color of their teeth)
7. Hair style
8. Speech
9. Mannerisms (tics, how they sit, how they laugh, etc)
Now these are in no particular order, but these are pretty much the 9 things that I notice about a person when I first meet them.
