subject: Four Reasons Image Consulting will assist your Professional Success [print this page] The link between interviews that turn in to jobs, promotions not passed by, and sales presentations that turn in to contracts; and men that know how to gain an edge with dress and body language is gaining more and more awareness daily. if you are reading this you have a significant edge of "enlightenment" and paving the road to success over and above the guy who thinks it doesn't matter.
You may be one of the lucky ones (was Sean Connery your father perhaps?) who really has a solid knowledge of what looks best on you, and how to select it, match it, accessorize it and generally employ it for every situation.
But for the mainstream man, who has been dressed by his well meaning mother and then wife, and then just winging it because you do "just fine, thank you".... well, you might not want to put such an important aspect of your business and financial success in these loving, but untrained eyes.
No disrespect intended.. but here's an example of what I mean: Are any of these issues yours?
1. In business in this country it's advantageous to look taller. If this is a concern for you: balance your jacket length exactly halfway down your body, and raise the length of your trousers.
2. In business in this country health and vitality are in part determined by your apparent level of fitness. If looking thinner would be to your advantage: select two button suits with pin stripes, and make sure your collar and tie combination is in scale with your neck and face.
3. In business in this country if you are young, or have a young look and you need the creditability in your industry of a more mature man: wear a more traditionally cut suit, or tweed, excellent shoes and accessories including non-prescription glasses.
4. In business in this country very slim men may wish to beef up their sense of substantial-ness: select three piece suits, fabrics with lots of "nap" like corduroy and tweed, employ layering and add stronger colors.
As you consider the possibility of retaining a professional to give you some guidance know that the gains to your personal and profession success are significant. These four point are just a few chips from the enormous iceberg of information there is to give you a competitive edge over the next guy!
