I always enjoy learning from Vanessa Van Edwards, bestselling author and founder of Science of People. She studies the science behind first impressions, communication, and human behavior.
What she says here is something most of us already know intuitively: people form impressions before we've said a single word.
Whether it's LinkedIn, a company website, a speaking engagement, or a networking event, your photo is often part of that first impression. That's one of the reasons I love what I do. A strong headshot isn't about looking perfectโit's about looking like the best, most authentic version of yourself.
