An Australian behavioural and body language expert has revealed her simple tricks for making a great first impression in just 15 seconds.
Grazina Fechner, who is also an executive coach, said there is science involved when it comes to appearing attractive to strangers and that it's 'easier than you think' to seem charming and witty.
'15 to 30 seconds is all you've got for someone to decide if they want to listen to you or not so it's all about tone, infliction, diction, articulation, power of pause, pace, smile and engagement,' Grazina said during an appearance on The Morning Show.

Australian behavioural and body language expert Grazina Fechner has revealed her simple tricks for making a great first impression in just 15 seconds
Grazina explained that you have to think about why people would want to stop to listen to you in the first place.
'Are you inspiring their curiosity? Are you exciting them? Captivating them? Delighting them? What is it that gets them to want to keep listening to you?' She said.
It is also vital that you engage the space with open body language, make eye contact and avoid kissing or hugging during a first meeting as that kind of contact makes many people feel uncomfortable.
'Be mindful of personal body space, you don't want to run up to someone and kiss them if they don't want that but you don't want to be so far apart that you're shouting your "hi" either,' Grazina said.
Many people find small talk challenging but Grazina explained that the simple secret is treating the person you're talking to 'like a friend'.

On top of this, she recommends filling in the time talking about the other person.
'People love chatting about themselves so the minute you get them chatting, the small talk becomes about them, and you become way more interesting,' she said.
If you've reached the moment of the conversation where you're no longer entertained, Grazina said you simply need to 'run away' to get food or go to the bathroom.

Grazina added it's important to dress in something that will make you feel confident as she explained that brains are wired to 'start behaving in correlation to what you're wearing'.
'Feel good in what you're wearing and if you feel good you will ooze in confidence,' she said.
Sydney-based etiquette expert Anna Musson told FEMAIL that it's best to 'mentally prepare yourself' before you meet someone for the first time.
'Decide in advance to have an open stance, which means stand tall, don't have your arms folded and have a pleasant disposition, or at least neutral facial features,' she said.
'If you've been thinking about something negative just before you meet someone that could come across if you cross your legs or frown.'
She explained that although it's easy to turn a good impression into a bad one, it's very difficult to turn a negative impression into a good one.
In terms of how you greet someone for the first time Ms Musson said it depends on the situation but the first rule is to stand up if you're sitting as it shows respect for them and yourself.
'In business the greeting should always be a handshake, unless perhaps it's a relaxed work drinks but judge the environment and what you're comfortable with,' she said.

'If it's a social situation you can judge whether to greet with a kiss, hug or handshake by the occasion and if everyone else is doing it.'
It can be hard to pinpoint when in a relationship the greeting can be changed to something more intimate, such as a kiss on the cheek.
'There's always a tipping point in a relationship where you'll be more relaxed which will dictate this but it's up to the woman when that is,' Ms Musson said.
'This is because it can seem predatory if the man decides when the hug and kiss seems comfortable.'
For those who don't like affection she said you should make it clear from the get-go that you're going in for a handshake.
On top of this, when greeting someone sunglasses and ear phones should always be removed and phones put away.
This shows that you're putting time, energy and value into the friendship.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
