Actual for You - Personal Image and Your Business
So you're thinking of creating a new slogan and brand identity for your city…Join the club. The entire country is caught up in a frenzy of sloganeering. More than 80 percent of towns with populations greater than 25,000 either have a motto or are attempting to develop a new one.The surge in branding can be attributed, in large part, to our friends in Las Vegas, whose daring motto, “What Happens Here, Stays Here,” hit the national airwaves in 2001 and shows no signs of abating. Of course, it helps if you’re blessed with a towering bu

Stationery Stores are those establishments and concerns which are primarily engaged in retailing stationery items for personal or commercial use. In a typical Stationery Store one would find all types of paper products, like writing pads, envelopes, diaries, calendars, planners, maps, charts, postcards, scrapbooks, notebooks, folders, cards and more. Besides this, they also stock other stationery items like pens, pencils, erasers, calculators, staples and staplers, crayons, colors and markers, adhesives, tapes, math sets, craft and office scisso
Whether you agree with it or not, people judge others by how they look. Therefore, personal image may be used to create trust at first sight. So it must be well thought out with much care.
I have given image seminars where I see people in conservative industries such as finance wearing tops revealing their cleavage, even though they are in a suit. I have seen a career coach wearing an outfit that is more suitable for an artist. Their images are not congruent with their professions.
Your image is not just about you. It’s about how people relate to the image. Your personal image is comprised not only of dressing and grooming, but also your body language and words. That being said, people do judge others based on how they groom and dress.
So how can we all make the best use of clothing and grooming for the good of our businesses?
First, consider the message of colours. The more conservative or formal your industry is, the more neutral the colour of your outfit should be. Neutral colours are black, grey, white, beige, and brown. Blue is also considered a “neutral” colour in this sense, because it conveys trust. Banking, law, accounting, and insurance belong to this category of conservative.
On the other hand, the more creative your industry is, the more colour options you have. If you are an artist, you may wear just about any colour. For professional designers and consultants, however, you may wear pops of colours but in strategic places, for example, in your tops, in the small details of a suit, or in accessories such as glasses.
Second, consider the style of your outfit. The more conservative or formal the occasion is, the more formal the outfit should be. In a formal industry where you meet your customers in the office, a conservatively styled suit is most appropriate. This means suit jacket that covers the buttocks. Suit skirts at knee level. Suit pants are straight legged, not outrageously flared at the bottom. Professional designers and consultants are between conservative and creative, so pick a suit that is of a trendier cut – suit jackets may have more details and colours, They could be above the buttocks, or longer. The suit pants may also have details and textures. For the creative ones, a suit is not necessary in most days. However, T-shirt and flip flops are mostly unacceptable, unless you are going to the beach! Do put in some effort to convey professionally what you do.
Third, let’s look at grooming. For conservative industries, keep your hair and make up neat and neutral. It doesn’t mean not to style the hair or not putting on make up. Hairstyle should be chic and sleek (if your hair can handle it). Nothing outrageous. A chic bob, for example, is a good option. Do remember putting on make up, however, but leave out the sparkles and bold colours. People need to see you, not focused on the extremities of your dressing and grooming. For those who are in between conservative and creative, you may have slightly more outrageous hairdos – just don’t dye it in any colours of the rainbow. Your make up may be bolder, but be sure it is sophisticated, not cheap. For those creative ones, do whatever you wish, but use your common sense to keep everything neat and clean looking, even if your hair is green.

You walk into your local grocery or market, looking for apples. You see the displays. They are bursting with apples of many varieties. To your left you notice a sea of yellow and red apples – the sign says they are Jonathans. To your right you see bright, green Granny Smiths. But straight ahead, you see the biggest, reddest Red Delicious apples you have ever seen. You are drawn to the display knowing that is what you want. As you walk closer you can see that the merchant has polished every one.You pick up a bag and start to select a

There are as many ways to write an after action report as there are hospitals that are now required to perform disaster drills and write after action reports analyzing the performance of the institution following a disaster or a disaster exercise. Since there are 5,756 licensed hospitals in the United States, there are 5,756 different ways that are currently employed to write the after action review. At most institutions, after action reviews are written by a committee between 12 and 18 individuals, managers and supervisors who in addition to t

In Part 2 we will discuss phones, monitors, desks and filing systems for our office of the future. So let's get started!Phones and Phone SystemsDoes your phone often find a resting place between your head and your shoulders called the neck. If so, you may discover that using a headset is much more comfortable and productive.You will not have that familiar neck ouch and will have both of your hands free while you are on hold, taking notes from your call or completing another task. This means that you will be more efficient.thing outrageous. A chic bob, for example, is a good option. Do remember putting on make up, however, but leave out the sparkles and bold colours.

Last but not least, what about personal style? I can just feel some readers having this question in their minds – do they have to give up individuality and take up what is appropriate? I can almost hear some women who are in law or finance, saying that they love purple and pink, and refuse to give them up. So what can they do about it? This is where you must use creativity and common sense – for those who refuse to live without pink, maybe a soft pink blush or lipstick, very soft pink nail polish, or a very light icy pink shirt would do! If you feel that there are elements that are absolutely you, think of a way to weave these elements (maybe not all of them at once) into the outfit, making your image acceptable to the industry, yet reflecting your personal taste and preference.
