Work Your Image to Your Advantage
Ten top tips to break free of your old restraints and reinvent yourself.
1. Develop a signature image, one that reflects your potential and goals.
2. Develop an image modus operandi …develop simple habits which support a favourable image i.e. once a fortnight reward yourself with a manicure.
3. Look confident, capable and in control, with clean, neat and tidy grooming and hair styles as well as well fitted clothing.
4. Have fun with fashion and simplify your life by coordinating your wardrobe with your best colours.
5. Style is not a size …it’s an attitude. Know which styles best suit your body shape.
6. Destiny in not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. First impressions are in your control. Create a “wow’ response and never be forgotten.
7. Your attitude is showing! 67% of first impressions are accurate. Your image tells the world who you are and where you’re going.
8. Making an appearance – make it the right one. Always determine if your outfit is appropriate for the occasion. Look ahead to what the day will entail.
9. Develop the habit of dressing like a person who is going somewhere in life. You probably are!
10. In summary, look the part, act the part and deliver the part!
The right image unleashes your personal power. The right image amplifies your authority and credibility. The right image strengthens your message.
