do you remember the very first time you met? how about what you were wearing that day and the circumstances that brought you to that specific place? was it intentional or was your meeting a coincidence? did you prepare or was it serendipitous? were you nervous or in total control?
after the meeting were you satisfied with the outcome or desperately searching for the 'do-over' button? did you say the right thing and make the impression that you wanted? what would you have done differently? were you proud of the results? who did you share the details with?
in hindsight, what changes would you have made? would you do it again given the opportunity? how many times did you replay that meeting over and over in your head? was the memory laced with a smile, a smirk, a grimace or a frown?
now . . . who is the person you envisioned? you see, i purposefully did not ask you to envision a specific person - i left that up to you and your imagination. did you focus on one person or could you even get one person to come to mind without more direction?
every time we meet someone it is a chance encounter. a first impression just waiting to be born. what kind of impression are you making?
