7 things people are judged on instantly (without saying a word):
→ Handshake — limp = weak, firm = confident
→ Shoes — worn-out = careless, clean = intentional
→ Posture — slouched = insecure, upright = powerful
→ Scent — hygiene speaks louder than words
→ Eye contact — too little = shady, too much = creepy
→ Phone etiquette — checking it = disrespect
→ Energy — calm presence > loud performance
Judgment happens before any words are spoken. The room is won or lost
