People judge us by how we present ourselves. That includes verbal and nonverbal communication.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
How do you improve? Use the adage about "how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. Practice. Practice.
Practice in front of a mirror. Practice with a friend or a parent. Practice when you're tired. Have people ask you spontaneous (unprepared) questions.
- Thank the interviewer.
- "Don't be boring."
- Practice helps avoid words such as "like, you know, um, and er."
- Be a credit giver not a credit taker.
- After a win, recognize good fortune against a quality opponent.
- Credit your family for their help and sacrifice.
- Credit your coaches and their preparation.
- Credit your teammates. "Deflection is perfection."
- "Repetitions make reputations."
