According to Forbes research, “Within the first seven seconds of meeting, people will have a solid impression of who you are — and some research suggests a tenth of a second is all it takes to start determining traits like trustworthiness.” When we brought our beautiful baby girl home for the first time we were nervous as to how the first 2 seconds let alone 7 seconds would go with our dog Max and her introduction. Max is a 93 lb. beast and is similar to a bull in a china shop. He is gentle , easily excitable, and looks like a small cow. We placed our daughter on the ground, Max approached with wonder and excitement, went face to face with our daughter, and then blew a sneeze in her face. (This is one of Max’s calling cards) We knew based on that first 7 seconds that everything was going to be okay. Max often chooses to ignore her these days and leaves the room immediately when she poops or is getting changed. The idea that people will know who we are within a 7 second window may seem a little daunting. I don’t recommend sneezing in someones face to break the ice but I hope this is a reminder of the importance of our first impressions. Smile, be kind, and be the energy you want to attract when you meet new people on your journey.
