This workshop was about how to give people a good first impression. Most of the information presented in the powerpoint presentation was common sense, such as being enthusiastic (but not overly so), genuinely interested, and welcoming when you meet someone. The presentor mentioned how we are always making an impression, whether knowingly or not. We had to find a person we didn’t know in the room and talk to them about what three challenges we think we’ll encounter in the next term. I didn’t learn anything new from this workshop, but the presentor made the workshop interesting and engaging. He was enthusiastic about the topic and his voice definitely kept everyone’s attention. The workshop did not feel boring and the time passed by quickly. Overall, this workshop did not teach my anything I didn’t know already, but it was a nice presentation to refresh my knowledge about first impressions.
