Dress to Impress – Personal Grooming

First impressions are extremely important, a key component of which is good Personal Grooming. The way you look and carry yourself affects the way you are perceived and subsequently dictates how most people will engage with you.  A lack in this area may cause you to be looked down upon and generally conveys a poor image. As an individual living and working in today’s highly complex and competitive society, you must recognize and understand the impact your appearance communicates to others. While it is important to like what you wear and the way you look, it is more important to understand why or why not and specifically how this affects you, others and your life and the achievement of your goals.

In the professional sphere for instance, being well-groomed is a must if you wish to be taken seriously. How you look can be used to exude confidence, inspire trust, and impacts the working relationships that you build every day.  Job opportunities, relationship possibilities, and invitations to parties and other social events are all inextricably linked to how you present yourself to the world. When it comes to landing that executive position at work, or wooing a potential partner, make sure your grooming is up to scratch beforehand. You’ll find that your chances of getting ahead in both your professional and dating life are magnified a hundred times.
