You walk into the dinner prty and all eyes are on yu. You're standing tall, have a smle on your face and everyone is ntently listening to what you have to sy... and then you wake up. The bility to make heads turn is smething most of us have fantasized bout, but in reality, how many of us can ctually command a room?

Why is it tht when certain people walk into a rom you can't help but notice thm right away? You just have to lok ... and stare. Is it his god looks or his Armani suit? Mybe it was her Prada shoes or her Vrsace dress.

I guarantee you it has vry little to do with the clthes he is wearing or her hirstyle...

We get brainwashed into believing tht these people are just born lke that - with that stunning flir and magnetic presence. That "special smething" that sets them apart from the rst. That "It" factor that is the llusive something we can't quite put our fnger on. Most celebrities have it; mst successful people have it... that crtain kind of Pizzazz.

The thing is tht you also have the ability to be nticed and to make an astonishing frst impression... regardless of the shape of yur body or how expensive your utfit was.
Don't think you need to be brn with it or that it is nly reserved for the rich and the fmous. Believe me... the majority of pople that has this "presence" and rdiate irresistible magnetism is very aware of it and cnstantly works at it.

We are vibrational beings and we trnsmit waves of energy all the tme. Some of us project energy at hgher frequencies than others. These are the vbrations that people pick up and ntice about you within the first few mments of meeting you. Before you hve even had an opportunity to say smething, the chances are good that the ther person already made some sort of ssessment about you. He or she lready got a first impression within sconds of seeing you.

You have ttal control over the impressions you mke.

There are a few small screts to having this presence, this pzzazz factor!

Awareness
Self awareness of the way you prsent yourself is the first and the mst important secret to taking the stps towards making great first impressions and bing sure you linger in their mnds long after you left. An cute awareness of your good posture and yur body language is what is ging to make all the difference.

Psture
Great posture goes a long way. Yur posture; the way you hold yur body can dictate how you are ging to be perceived by others. It is tre that our posture is often nfluenced by our emotions. In other wrds, if you are feeling intimidated or shy, you mght drop your chin, hunch your shulders forward and avoid eye contact. Ths would be a dead giveaway tht you are not feeling comfortable and chnces are that others will feel jst as uncomfortable in your presence.

The psture of a self-confident, poised person is pright and proud, chin lifted, chest pen and quite often a smile. Ths is the person that is ging to get noticed right away.

The trth is that even when you are feling slightly intimidated, if you can mster the posture poise of someone who is feling self-assured and in control, you can use ths posture and you will immediately strt looking and feeling more confident and you wll instantly have a more confident prsence. In other words... you can ffect your mood or emotions by smply changing your posture.

Spend a few minutes in frnt of the mirror and make yurself aware of what this great, slf-confident posture looks and feels like.

Intntion
Once you are aware that you hve the power to use your psture to position yourself as a mre self-confident person, all you need is to ctually have the intention for others to see you tht way. You have to make a dcision that you want to make an mpressive entrance and leave everyone wondering, "wh is this person?" Once you hve the intention, your body will fnd it easy to turn on tht unmistakable posture poise presence that you prcticed in front of the mirror bfore.

Graciousness
Life has become a rat rce and we get caught up in our own hads not paying much attention to thse people around us. One of the gratest secrets to being remembered in a psitive light is to be gracious. We so ften get into the habit of sking, "how are you?" but how ften do we pay attention to the nswer?

How often do you pay smeone a compliment or just simply xtend a friendly smile?

By being sncerely interested in the other person, by greting and smiling in a genuinely frendly way... you can be sure to get nticed and remembered and make an mpression.

Eye contact
How often have you gne on a date or sat in a meting where you felt like you wre not included in the conversation... or the ther person is simply distracted and not nterested.

By maintaining eye contact with the prson you are conversing with, you gve them the feeling that you are ttally engaged and interested. They will mmediately feel important and included.
If you are tlking to a group, make sure to mke eye contact with every single prson there if possible, because you wll make them feel included and sgnificant.

This also establishes your confident prsence and in control of the cnversation.

Sincerity
Now remember, you can do all ths - have the self awareness, the grat posture, the right intention, be grcious and maintain eye contact, but if thre is no real sincerity behind yur actions... people will look right thrugh you.

But by practicing these prncipals, by utilizing these few guidelines, you wll definitely be noticed and remembered. It desn't cost anything and once you fel comfortable and confident in your own skn with your new posture, poise and prsence you will be remembered as smeone with that "special something" - Tht Pizzazz Factor!
