The Communication of First Impressions

CONGRATULATIONS! Just by simply taking the time to examine your beliefs you raised your communication quotient! You can say, "I made a positive change!"

Want to raise it even more?

Now that you have learned some "wellness techniques" to better communicate with your body, you can share it with other people and help them improve their energy. To further raise your communication quotient about people, invite friends and colleagues to discuss these questions:

When you 're stomach is growling, what do you do?
Do you have a "wellness plan" to keep your body happy?
How about we get together and take a daily walk?
Everybody is different!

To keep raising your communication abilities, open your mind to the magic energy of our words, the wonder, the parts that truly makes others special. Be interested in seeing the positive side in people that has so much more meaning. The more you understand people, the better you can communicate with everyone. And, pass it on: "Everybody is different!"

HUNGRY FOR MORE COMMUNICATION?

Our professional trainers hold degrees in Communication, Training and Development and Behavioral Sciences, and have worked with individuals and corporations. A Positive Change uses high interaction involvement and exercises with a playful, creative, and humorous approach

The Apositiva Institute is focused on helping people to gain clarity about what they want, and then move toward realizing their positive worthwhile goals. We are not affiliated with Positive Changes. In 1987, Rich Aanrich founded A Positive Change in Portland, Oregon, which is focussed on diversified methods in helping you design your life and making a positive change. Cat Wilson joined him in 2001, and then along came colleagues, such as L. Michael Hall, Michelle DeLude, Ryan Kackley, David Yager, and many others, in training.

Using Coaching, Counseling, and Training Courses, our goal is to provide people with more tools and more choices.
Outcome goals:

  • Heal, learn or move on from their past
  • Choose and have a more fulfilling future
  • Live a more enjoyable and satisfying present

We are dedicated in our training sessions to take people to a higher level through a fun and interactive approach designed to meet the different learning styles.


A study was conducted to determine the importance, reliability, value, and communication factors of first impressions, and if these initial impressions were changeable.

This research examines what communication factors people considered when making first impressions and identified specific barriers that people found to get in the way during a first meeting.
