Whether you've sneezed on your boss and need to do some serious reputation revamping or you just want to make sure all your classmates like you, impressing people will be a skill you utilize time and time again. But how do you do it? Luckily, it's not rocket science or brain surgery, and, heck, even Kim Kardashian is famous. What's stopping you from leaving 'em wowed?
1)-Live loud and proud. Being unashamedly who you are and letting your passions in life shine through is very impressive to people, even when they don't realize it. Everyone wants to live like they don't care what others think, so when they see someone actually doing that they are impressed.
2)-Take responsibility. Take responsibility for your actions but also take on responsibility. Being the "adult" in the situation, ready to be in control and handle the consequences, is impressive to others
3)-Be honest. Tell people your polite but honest opinion. Be open about biases you may have and be willing to tell someone when you think something won't work (even if it's your own product). When you make a promise or assurance, keep it. Over-deliver on things that you promise if you can. You want to be someone that people view as very trustworthy. This is seem as a rare trait and is admired.
4)-Be positive. Be someone who can turn a terrible situation into a useful lesson without batting an eye. Always keep calm in tough situations. Don't be a complainer: just quietly confront problems and move on. People like people who can handle situations without becoming overwhelmed.
5)-Respect everyone. Be respectful to your peers and superiors, but most importantly be respectful to people who others might view as "below" you. A great man once said, "If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." That said, be kind to the poor, the homeless, your employees, etc. They're more your equals than you might like to admit.
