First impressions

First impressions count — don’t they??? 🤔

Absolutely — they shape our interactions within seconds. We instinctively form judgments and biases based on appearance and behaviour, influenced by our experiences and insights. However, unchecked biases can hinder our ability to connect authentically, stifling the potential for meaningful relationships.

Service Animals® offers us a framework that can help us be less subjective when it comes to observing and responding to human behaviour. It guides us beyond knee-jerk reactions towards more conscious, more rational and a less biased assessment of others. In many respects, it relates to the late and highly revered Professor Daniel Kahneman’s pioneering work on heuristics and the interplay between System 1 (instinctive and intuitive thinking, activating a reflex response) and System 2 thinking (analytical and rational thinking, forming a considered response).

Service Animals® can serve as a mental shortcut that prompts us to engage our analytical minds, recognising communication and behavioural preferences. It helps us to become much more effective at ‘reading others’ and to know how to better respond. Whether it’s colleagues, customers, clients, or stakeholders; Service Animals® empowers us to establish rapport swiftly and authentically, bridging gaps across varying personalities and backgrounds.
