Executive Image Consulting
Whether or not we want to admit it, the work force is more competitive than ever! As much as we want to believe that hiring decisions are based on our experience, education, and who is best suited for the job; that is not the case at all. Image shouldn’t matter, but it does. As representatives of your company, how your employees look and behave form the first impression of your organization to the public. And, often how they present themselves can be the differentiating factor between you and your competition.
Does your best talent need to maximize their potential but lack the time, energy and expertise to refine their professional appearance? One-on-one executive image coaching provides an efficient and effective solution. The process begins with an assessment of the employee’s current style, image and executive presence and continues with a wardrobe review and guided shopping session(s). Image tools, techniques and guidelines are provided to maximize personal presence and professional impact. Your employee will be provided with a strategic, image action plan that is easy to maintain and incorporate into any daily routine. This is an excellent program for anyone in a client-facing or leadership role who is poised for promotion, needs to project and instill confidence in direct reports, or simply take their image to the next level.
The A, B, C, D's of Your Professional Imprint
Appearance
Before you ever utter a word, the other person is going to look at your clothes and immediately decide whether you have dressed appropriately for the occasion. If you show up looking like you get dressed in the dark (for example, a rumpled shirt for men), the chances are good that the other person is going to apply that perception elsewhere.
Behaviour
A leader is an individual who has earned the respect of others and who leads them effectively and in the right direction. It boils down to your attitude. Leadership is able to inspire at all times, and the key to this is attitude. A leader’s attitude evokes positive feelings in people. Effective leaders use influence to orient others towards their goals.
Communication
Sharing information and ideas between individuals or groups to reach a common understanding. With so many personalities, ideas, & an overload of information in the workplace, effective communication is a challenge for business owners, CEOs, & employees. Effective communication is a business toll and an essential employee attribute.
Digital Footprint
