This book will change how you see the world because you will learn how the world sees you. It is no secret that people judge us not only on our skills and abilities, but also on our image and social skills. We all know brilliant and hard-working people that reach career plateaus or fail in business because of their lack of image and social skills. What is surprising is how quickly people judge us. This book shows you what to do about it. It also describes how to avoid many other image and social pitfalls that arise long after the first impression is made. If you aspire to reach this class or interact this book is indispensable. - From quoting Frank

From the publisher
In the three seconds it takes you to walk through a door and extend your hand to someone for the first time, that person has already made irreversible judgments about you. You send out hundreds of signals about yourself, and people read those signals and react to them long before you've had a chance to say or do anything of substance.
Camille Lavington is a communications consultant who commands substantial fees for teaching personal marketing to business people from corporate executives to mid-level managers. In You've Only Got Three Seconds, she shares her strategies for defining your personal career goals, taking inventory of your strengths and vulnerabilities, and determining what you must do, say, and wear in order to fit the role you want to fulfill.
Personal marketing isn't about social cimbing or trying to be someone you're not. Success at the end of the millennium comes to people who are versatile, who can make positive impressions in any group, who can peg their peers' or superiors' secret agendas, and use psychodynamics to get what they want. With this book, people from entry-level job applicants to stymied executives will be ready to take their internal and external makeovers into the world, make a smashing first impression, and follow through with finesse.

How would you like to have $5,000 to hire a personal marketing consultant to coach you to success? That coaching is right here in Lavington's book. As a human resources executive I have hired executive enhancement consultants to coach employees moving up the corporate ladder and those temporarily stalled in their advancement. Sure they come in, spruce up the employee's appearance, and send me their bill... never really getting to the heart of the issue. Lavington's book gets to the heart of all the issues. She helps you evaluate your abilities and learn to showcase your talents. You will explore areas to polish, positioning yourself for even greater success. Not just motivational hype or ivory-tower theories, Lavington gives specific advice that produces real-world results. If you are just entering the business world, looking to move up, or already enjoying a successful career this book is an excellent resource. I wish it had been around before I paid those costly consultant bills... it's a much better return on investment! |

Anyone looking for a job needs to prepare beyond typing up a resume. Read this book. It helps you to see yourself as others see you. Run through the checklist for grooming, presentation and body language to tune up your "impression makers." The boss is looking for someone with energy, enthusiasm, job skills, and who fits with the current team. Far too many candidates have no idea of the image they project. Slumped in a chair while mumbling answers is not likely to impress an employer. |

Camille Lavington exposes the reader to a real life perspective on truly 'how to win friends and influence people. Her to the point "real world" approach to relationship building is exactly the skill that many executives need to harness today. My company recently purchased over 100 copies of "You've Only Got Three Seconds". We utilized many of the principles explored within its pages to help our field personnel to enhance their coaching and motivational skills. The result has been overwhelming. Reports from the field show an increase in the abilty of our team to build rapport and positvely influence both sales associates and store management. Our team feels a greater sense of confidence and has gained a greater understanding of themselves and how others perceive them. "You've Only Got Three Seconds" a must have for all who wish to succeed in business and in life! |
