What a pleasure it was to be in the company of the incredible Anita Lowe - training consultant and image consultant, who runs personal development workshops, including those on personal branding, across a wide range of industries, including financial institutions. For this session hosted at the stunning Jigsaw store in Birmingham City Centre.
Anita opened the session with a fact, you only have 3 seconds to make a first impression! 3 little seconds! So how can we ensure that our first impression is the right impression? A bit of self-analysis was required. If we’re talking about dressing to suit our bodies, we need to look at what we’re working with. For this style yourself confident session we specifically focused on our vertical proportions and how to dress in accordance to the results.
Dressing for work is not just about making a first impression, it’s also a key skill we can learn to enhance our personal brands. Not only does dressing for work give you confidence it also visually shows your key stakeholders that you make the effort and gives them confidence in working with you.
