It may sound simple, but leaving that lasting impression takes a strategic approach. Here are five tips that’ll help you make your mark and be remembered over anyone else in the room.

2. Sometimes, we get so caught up in trying to impress that we forget to show our
true selves—we hold back opinions, squash our creative ideas, and downplay our
personalities, all for fear of being judged.

3. Just like a bank, every exchange or interaction that you have is like a deposit or
withdrawal. People either feel energized after working with you—or exhausted.
Make sure you’re in the former camp.

4. In the business world, people are defined by how they handle stress—it’s called
“cope-ability.” Whether you’re presenting in front of a massive audience or
dealing with a customer service crisis, nailing the pressure moments will define
a lasting impression.

5. First, you need to know what you’re great at, not what you’re good at. And when
you know what that is, don’t be afraid to offer solutions and bring value
to discussions.

6. You want to be selected; the person who people throughout the organization want
to help, want to work for, and want to see succeed. This will happen when you can
authentically influence your audience throughout the organization, not just
manage up.

7. The AMCAT is India’s first employability assessment test that help fresh graduates
to get their first job quickly and efficiently.
