First impressions | Walker Steck | TEDxLakeTravisHigh

Walker Steck asks us to delay judgment for just fifteen seconds before making a decision about someone we have just met - he or she just might prove to be a new best friend or the love of a lifetime.
Walker enjoys playing any sport involving a paddle: tennis, racquetball, ping-pong, badminton, and pickleball. Because he values relationships, he understands the importance of accepting people as they are, even from the very first impression.

Ignore these negative comments. It takes bravery for a high school student to stand up and speak to a crowd, good work buddy.

[@TheLifeOfMarcus]

He honestly did a great job. I don't know why most people are being negative about his ted talk. I'm watching this for my college class and I'm so glad I came across this

[@KrMaCoW]

That was part of the joke that hes acting nervous on purpose because hes talking about first impressions.

[@KrMaCoW]

smh

[@keffertv304]

I'm doing a leadership training class on how to give a proper first impression and I was worried about how to start the script since doing it virtually can make it hard to be engaging. This was a really good and inspiring speech and it definitely gave me a great example.

This came up as "recommended" in my feed. Great content.

Great talk! Well done! The thought that my son (who is 5 at the moment) will have to stand up in front of the big audience one day, scares me. You did well!

nice job dude ..

[@kapparei_is_here]

Hm. I think that he's more bravery than he want to show. I mean, all that hesitations and nervous looks like special trained and artistic.

First good impression needs extra effort ( or I just have non) 1. Height x 2. College x ( coz it's open/correspondence) 3. Body/gym body x 4.dressing/ gromming sense x 5.traveling photos .. x .... Etc Literally so many things people in general find interesting is not in me for sure ... I am not sad about it coz once someone try to be with me in my company for a while ...they never want to leave me ... I am not good at first impressions and that sucks coz people today are very much into it ... I have stories behind things...why something about it is that way why it's not like that ... many stories But yk having audience needs a good impression a clickbait if you similar to me ... And I don't havw these stuff as my first impressions coz I don't believe in them in first place how can I even fake it ...nvr It's okay to be a person of impact in your small circle...

100% if you have long term people in your life they will be there if you have plenty of people in your life about 99% of them won't be your true long term people they will just want to take from you!

what a lot of people don't realize is that the JOKE is that he ISN'T making a good first impression

[@allenkvextreme]
