Ask a Chief of Staff

Whether you're interviewing, networking, presenting, or meeting someone for the first time, the first few seconds shape how people perceive you.

In this interactive workshop, executive career coach Karen Worthy shares the science behind first impressions and the practical techniques you can use to project confidence, warmth, and executive presence from the moment the conversation begins.

You'll learn simple strategies you can apply before every important meeting to make a stronger, more authentic impression.

This session is designed for professionals and leaders who want to make stronger first impressions in interviews, networking conversations, presentations, client meetings, or leadership interactions. It's especially valuable for anyone who wants to communicate confidence and credibility from the very beginning of a conversation.

Come ready to participate and reflect on your own communication style. Having your camera on is encouraged so you can practice some of the techniques during the session. No preparation is required. Just bring an open mind and be ready to put a few simple strategies into practice.
