Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?
Famous line from Snow White.
We all like watching ourselves in the mirror. Syok sendiri.
That’s why the mirroring technique is a very powerful and effective non-verbal communication.
We love it when we see ourselves in the other person.
The way to do it is by copying the body language, vocal qualities, or attitude of the other person. For example we can follow the hand gestures or the speed and volume of the speech. It should be done subtly though because kalau obvious sangat then becomes creepy pulak.
This will be one of the techniques that I teach during the training “How to Make a Good First Impression”
The other 5 techniques are:
- Elevator pitch
- Body Language
- Remembering Names
- Chunk and Link
- Listening with Curiosity
By the end of this training, you will not be the shy person at a networking event anymore because you will be ready and prepared to make a good first impression.
