Let me be direct: Successful women know that their professional image and style matter! Period. Many of us don’t like to admit that how we show up plays a huge part in the perception others have of us and how we ultimately feel about ourselves. However, there’s no way to ignore the direct link between our personal image and professional success. When we level up how we show up–we are seen, heard, and taken more seriously. There is something powerful about using our image to position us for success! In this blog, we will uncover what professional style is and how to find yours!
When you get dressed for the day, you are preparing to either:
a) Lead
b) Follow
c) Get run over
So, which one are you dressing up to do?
Successful women are not born with an amazing image and style, they must develop it as they grow and evolve professionally. So, what exactly is professional style?
- It is your visual business card – Did you know that 75% of your first impression is based on your appearance?
- It is your unique expression of who you are and your position in the world. Your appearance has the power to communicate key factors about you, such as your credibility, skill level, education level, social status, and more. Let’s be honest, how many times have you sized a person up just by looking at their appearance?
- It is the armor that gives you the confidence to go out into the world and handle business! Executives and managers have a presence that puts them in a position of power and respect.
When developing your professional image and style, you want it to be authentic, memorable, effortless, and powerful. Your presence should demand respect and send the message that you can handle anything. Once you have your image and style under control, you no longer have to stress about what to wear and what you look like. Why? Because you’ll have a wardrobe that is designed for you and makes you look the part!
