Hello, welcome to my blog!!
Elevating Your Professional Image is important for you and me.
"It helps you to make a good first impression and is the bridge to building rapport with colleagues and clients."
TO BE successful at work, you have to look the part, and you can get
help to do this. Professional Image Management involves three important
areas: creating a good
FIRST IMPRESSION, understanding
BODY LANGUAGE and incul-
cating positive PERSONAL GROOMING HABITS.
Positive
Professional Image
A positive professional image is essential to a successful
career, no matter your age or field. Whether you are looking for a job,
starting a new job, or a seasoned workplace veteran, it's a good idea to learn
(or relearn) the basics of creating a positive professional persona. A
professional persona includes four elements:
- Attire
and clothing: How you look.
- Body
Language: How you hold and present yourself.
- Attitude
and behavior: How you think and act.
·
Practise
physical wellness: How you take good care of your body.
Your professional image speaks volumes about you and will
help you develop and establish a positive reputation.
Social
Etiquette
Etiquette is a code of behavior
that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary
conventional norms within a society, social class, or group. The French word
étiquette, literally signifying a tag or label.
Social grace refers to the general behavior and attitude of
being polite and welcoming to people. This means putting other's needs before
your own in some cases, like offering a chair to an elderly person rather than
sitting down on it first. It also means paying attention to your own behavior
to make sure you aren't offending others.
Social grace is extremely important when meeting new
friends. Relationships can develop at a faster rate if you show courtesy toward
someone else.
Social grace(s) include things like:
- Making proper introductions to people.
- Listening and not interrupting in conversation.
- Using good table manners.
- Maintaining good cell phone etiquette.
- Being careful not to put your foot in your mouth (Sayings
about social etiquette mistakes).
Advice On Footwear
When choosing a
shoe, there are several factors which need to be taken into consideration to
ensure the shoe is most appropriate for the individual. Because everyone's feet
move differently and are different shapes, the ideal shoe for one person may
differ completely from the next. In addition many shoes are built with
different characteristics which make them ideal for certain activities on
specific surfaces. The perfect shoe for an individual therefore needs to be
selected to suit their feet and their specific needs.
On an
average, a person may walk an estimate of a few thousand kilometres during
their lifetime! That is tough on the feet!
Footwear
is estimated to have started million of years ago.
The
unkind weather conditions led to the creation of footwear, which is the use of
protective coverings for the human feet.
Today,
shoes serve many other purposes.
They are about conveying status, enhancing appeal
and more.

footwear is important.

adapted by human through nature and its beings, the plants and creatures that

Waredrobe Make-Over
Wardrobe clutter is a
perennial problem. Some people find it lack of closet space and for
others, perhaps too much stuff, and the common complaint is that they have
“nothing to wear”! Our wardrobe should maintain clean, organised,
functional, accessible and visible. It should not be treated like
storage. A well-organised closet will save you time and money as
your clothes and accessories will maintain well, thus having a longer
wear-life. Getting dressed (especially in the mornings!) will be
effortless and efficient. You can see what you own, create new
mix-and-match pieces and use your clothes more efficiently. A
well-maintained wardrobe equals an attractive and polished image.
We will help you get
rid of the clutter in your life. We will teach you how to create and
maintain a well-organised closet. You will also learn the art of
creating a capsule wardrobe which is integral to good closet
planning.
With the capsule, you will have ready coordinated pieces of clothing
that will take you through from Mondays to Fridays and morning to night.
The Wardrobe Make-Over takes a minimum of 4 hours or more,
depending on the size of the wardrobe and amount of re-organisation.
We will conduct a wardrobe audit to determine what you should keep, lose, alter
or buy. We will help you to form clothing capsules and provide you with
strategies to maintain and care for your wardrobe.
At the end of the day, you will be able to:
- Maximise your clothes by building wardrobe
capsules
- Practise different ways of combining your clothes,
jewellery and accessories
- Maintain your clothing longer with proper care
- Get dressed in minutes and look great
- Plan smartly for future purchases after knowing what
works in your wardrobe.
