<p>I have come to realize that people judge you based on two things:
Warmth and Competence. </p>
<p>Naturally when we first meet someone , we generally ask two questions: </p>
<p>👉 " Do i like this person ?" This relates to the warmth dimension, which also connects to trust.
This is followed by : </p>
<p>👉 " Can I rely on this person?" This relates to the competence dimension, which also connects to respect.</p>
<p>Now, ofcourse, there are a whole range of other factors that influences a first impression ( which happens in 1/10th of a second by the way!) and many of these are based on biases or prejudices ( which could be related to appearance, gender,tribe,religion or race).</p>
<p>Beyond that,we all have an opportunity to positively influence someone's perception of us by demonstrating genuine warmth first , and backing it up with competence .</p>
<p>A Heads up - Warmth in a business context doesn't mean being 'overly nice' or letting people take advantage of you...</p>
<p>Instead, it's about diplomacy, being respectful, empathetic and approachable - these are all leadership qualities too. </p>
<p>Do you think you rate higher on Warmth or Competence?👇</p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
