Your Image is You



As some expert leader often said, "the first impression only can last within 30 seconds." Don't you agree? I strongly agreed that this statement and hope you either. Successful people in their life always carried a pattern of mutually beneficial interpersonal relationship. And of course, your communication and the image you present creates the first impression - often the lasting impression- the people you meet.


As I has stated in last few articles, "You have 3 minutes to sell me your idea." I believe you definitely have doubt how to make it? What are the effective strategies? Should i plan before my proposal My opinion is no strategy provided. Your image is sells your products and services. Apart from that, the communication is crucial how you deliver to your potential buyer through the professional image and communication. Your first impression can ever lasting to your audience, it's just approximately within 30 seconds. Less than a minute. Hence, the greatest way to sell yourself is the first 3 sentences how you give impact to your listener. Ironically, networking is one of the way to promote yourself through variety of social meeting, group gathering and etc.

With rapid technological growth today, every people always say they are busy. I have no time to listen to you. Some are said, "Im not interested at all." It is common rejection when you are trying to sell your ideas. How does good image can provide huge impacts? Professional appearance is counts. The good image, in fact you are the person who believe in yourself and confidence all the time. As many professional mentor often urged, those are people who want to advance in their career always have to dress to what you want, not eventually current position. Despite that, your professional image will serve you well when promotions, lateral moves, choice assignments and departmental visibility are available. In order to winning in this current competitive edge, I strongly suggest that we should be projecting the best images we can to serve ourself well in the workplace.
