Appearances and Expectations #SaturdayMorningHustle

Good morning, and welcome to a different type of Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. I am all dressed up today. I'm not in my usual Saturday Morning Hustle swag, a t-shirt, sweatshirt, etc. This gives me an opportunity to talk to you on a podcast today about how to set and manage expectations, understanding who you're talking to, who your audience is, and what they need to see and hear from you in order for them to take you seriously and not be focused on small things such as how you're dressed or something else superficial.

You only get one chance to make a first impression once. What matters most is the expectations of the person or group of people you're meeting, collaborating with, presenting to, etc. The number one rule in communication is understanding your audience. Understand who you're talking to and what their expectations are.

So when you have a formal presentation or you're in a meeting with someone who dresses a certain way, I try to accommodate their expectations.

It's Saturday. I'm in the office. This is the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. Listen while your competition is still sleeping. https://bit.ly/ListenToSMH
