| 0:00.0 | So someone's not met me yet and they're asking somebody who has met me about me, I want to think to myself what I want that person to say and is my impression, the way I'm showing up, reflective, what I want that person to say. |
| 0:10.9 | You need to ask yourself this question. |
| 0:14.2 | Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game. |
| 0:20.2 | This is Drey Baldwin. And work on your game is Work on your game. This is Drey Baldwin. |
| 0:21.7 | And work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance. |
| 0:26.1 | Today's topic is how to make strong first impressions. |
| 0:31.5 | Now, as the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. |
| 0:36.6 | Everybody's heard that saying before. |
| 0:38.5 | Also, you may have heard that a first impression is often a lasting impression, meaning the way that |
| 0:43.8 | people first get introduced to you or the first thing that they notice and or feel about you is |
| 0:49.3 | pretty much going to be the way they see you forever, no matter what else gets presented to, |
| 0:57.9 | from, by, or about you. And in my experience in life that first impression that people get of you is often just that it is the final way |

| 1:28.9 | they put themselves out there. And just because you saw them one way in a certain setting does not |
| 1:32.9 | mean that's who they actually are. That may be very little of who they are. And it doesn't even |
| 1:37.2 | mean that's the real version of them on any level, even though it was the first thing that you saw |
| 1:41.7 | about them. And this is especially true if you're getting an impression of a person who knows that they are being watched by a lot of people, i.e., they know they're on camera, or they know they're a center of attention, or they know they are somehow, some way, a spectacle in a certain environment. |
