Wonderful program. Never before have I presented an instructional video that has had so much immediate impact. My students really 'got' the concept that how others evaluate us is greatly dependent on how we 'present' ourselves.

First Impressions

We all do it. We quickly size people up. Within a few minutes of meeting someone, we start to make judgments about their personality, their character and their values. If our "first impressions" are positive, we're more likely to accept and like the person. If our "first impressions" are negative, we'll avoid the newcomer socially or, if we're an employer, eliminate them from job consideration.

There's no second chance to make a good first impression!

There are four basic things that make an immediate impression on someone else: cleanliness/hygiene, grooming, dress, and attitude. The wrong impression in any of these areas may cause your students to be undervalued and dismissed. With the right impression, they will be given a chance to prove themselves.

With the help of our "Video Models" and our on-screen medical expert, your students will see clear, step-by-step demonstrations of essential everyday hygiene practices that promote social approval and health. Each module comes with a comprehensive teacher's guide.
