How you present yourself through your clothing choices and grooming habits can be the key to making the right impression. It's what makes your presence stand out and be noticed for all the right reasons. Do you look the part of the successful, credible person you are, or strive to be?
How you dress and how you groom yourself speaks volumes. It always has and it always will.
Everyone's busy but that doesn't give you any room for slacking. Do any of these statements sound like you?
- Have you put on a few pounds and know your clothes are fitting you tightly?
- Have you been too busy to fit in a shopping trip to revive your tired wardrobe?
- Have you aged but are confused about the right age appropriate wardrobe?
- Have you been on maternity leave and don't want to shop for new clothes until you've lost the baby weight?
Don't waste any more time. Do something constructive about getting your visual credibility up where it needs to be. The truth is, no matter how much you hope and wish visual image doesn't matter, it does.
Here are a few things to consider and fix:
- How well do your
clothes fit your current physique? Any strain or bagginess makes you look like you don't attend to details.
- What condition are your shoes in? Fix this by repairing or replacing the shabby ones.
- What's the condition of your fingernails? Do your hands look rough or dry? Your hands are always visible. Make them look impeccable and your image will match.
- How's the quality of your clothing? Do your clothes help you look important and respectable? If not, you may need to up the quality of your wardrobe pieces.
- Do you take the time in the morning to put on your best face? Those five to fifteen minutes that it takes to care for your face and put on makeup is a small investment of time compared to the large reward that comes from looking polished and put together
Before it's too late, invest in yourself. Improve your image and watch your opportunities grow.
Since you get dressed every day, why not make the most of your assets? It may not be something you've given a lot of thought to.
Don't worry; there are professionals who know all about creating visual credibility!
