A Clear and Present Presence
A “Blink” – as Malcolm Gladwell states – is the amount of time you have to make a first impression. It is within this frame that your observer will use their "gut feeling" to judge you.
Whatever the occasion calls for - be it an everyday moment or - a life changing event, it’s imperative to have an image and a sense of presence that best relates to your individuality, credibility and personality.
With such focus on fashion and style, in today’s fiercely competitive world, to be truly in control of your life and career, you need to take your image seriously and adjust it to make it work for you. Used properly, your clothing, grooming and manners can act as a resourceful tool that will help you achieve personal and professional success.
The tailored professional
Even in our increasingly casual age, regardless of your profession or level of expertise, good tailoring and well selected business outfits can be vital for ambitious professionals, dramatically tipping the scales for job seekers career movers within the first few seconds of an interview.
To compete, professionals these days need to be well-educated as to what constitutes appropriate business attire, such as; cut and fit, fabric and colour, the finish of the material, the detail of pockets and cuffs. What colour shirt to wear? What sort of tie or length of hem-line? Not to mention knowing “Business Dress Codes” when it comes to casual, smart casual or formal dress.
To get started in building a professional wardrobe to match your needs and ambitions consider first what your budget can afford; ask yourself what your image says about you, your company and how, relative to your peers, does your appearance impact others?
Deeper than a fashion statement
Creating the desired impression with a positive personal presence goes beyond good grooming and dressing in an appropriate and personal style – it’s also about knowing the required etiquette at social and corporate events. Understanding the appropriate professional body language, dining and communication etiquette – telephone, emails, business letters, etc. You too can learn how to have the charisma and power of your own polished professional image – even the smallest amount of time and effort spent on to enhancing the impression you make can build confidence, improve your performance in business, and totally transform your life.
