The Women in Business Conference was a great success! Many thanks to those who attended my breakout session, Refreshing Your Professional Image.
I believe our “image” is most powerful when it radiates from the inside- out. It starts by asking ourselves: what does success look like to me? Some other tips to remember:
~Image begins with how you see yourself. To paraphrase a quote by Henry Ford: “Whether you think you can or you can’t, either way, you’re right.”
~Embrace your gifts, talents and passions. What you love to do and what comes naturally to you are clues that guide you on the path to your purpose.
~Create your vision. Dare to boldly see and profess your true heart’s desires.
~Ditch the fear. What do you risk if you play it safe?
~Let your experience, wisdom and intuition serve as your guide. Women, especially, are blessed with the gift of intuition.
~Sell yourself! Think about all you’ve accomplished and experienced so far in your life. Believe it, use it, own it. Work it, girl! Turn to the left… now turn to the right. I digress.
Seek balance. Strive to be authentic.
Click here to watch a six-minute video clip, highlighting some key points in my talk. My hubby and his partner, Patrick, will think the video quality is not the best, but in a YouTube world, we can now get away with it! Maybe I should have used Go To Team?
Great video, Angie! You look smashing and are charming as always. Thanks for another inspiring post. You’re right: what do we really gain by playing it safe?
Would love to hear the entire session. You got it so right! Go back to your childhood to find what you love to do. I have stacks of fashion sketches from my school days. My day job is a good fit and I see hints of my early art in my notecards!
