so few seconds of my being here you’ve
already formed an opinion about me and I
also know that you’ve decided whether
you like me or you don’t let me share
with you how I prepare to be here today
I chose an attire that’s appropriate for
this equation it’s conservative and
attractive I made sure my makeup is
subtle not too much
minimal jewelry to ensure no
distractions no noise formal shoes and I
made sure that I remember to carry my
confidence and my positive attitude in
all this only for one reason I wanted to
make sure that you liked me honestly
because I wanted to achieve the LBT be
like belief trust and buy do you know
why because if you like me you will
believe in me and if you believe in me
you will trust me and if you trust me
you will buy from me isn’t it
buy from me the idea that I am here to
present today the idea of creating great
first impressions and communicating the
right messages through your visual
communication did we know that first
impressions are formed in seven seconds
and in seven seconds you communicate lot
of messages about your personality
likability Authority friendliness
financial success and even a candidate
for a job okay and first impressions are
not reversed and not undone easily and
therefore it is extremely important to
take care of how you form your first
impressions
another interesting concept that I want
to share with you is that images inside
out it’s an outward projection of your
character your attitudes your values and
your uniqueness so the first impression
actually reflects the real you now at
this point I’d like to ask all of you
here to look at yourself and just think
what is the message that you are
communicating through your appearance
essentially the clothing and body
language what’s the message that you are
sending out are you friendly
are you not friendly I you form a less
formal etc but these are the messages so
henceforth when you take out a certain
garment from your wardrobe think of the
message that you are going to send out
and not just a piece of garment ok about
40 years ago image consulting was not a
common concept for the public at large
only the elite used image consulting as
a secret weapon to look good and you
know dress in style
politicians TV actors models etcetera
hired the image consultants to look you
know to carry a image makeover etcetera
but in today’s scenario it is not a
choice each one of us need to present an
image that is powerful and that gets you
ahead in life would you agree with me so
the big question is you cannot not have
an image you are always projecting an
image consciously or subconsciously
about yourself so how can we do it what
is image management image management is
the art and science of presenting
yourself right image management is about
being conscious and aware of where you
are today
and where you want to be it’s about
dressing appropriately for the role and
goal of your life it is about conveying
the right messages without speaking
that’s what image management is all
about so it is actually an ongoing
proactive process of evaluating the
impact of your appearance on you on
others and on the achievement of a volts
so I am going to tell you how you can

we have the slide up please looking good
is not self-importance it’s self respect
clothes communicate and if you can see
how a casual to a business formal look
appears that’s how the transition
happens and that’s the
messages that you communicate through
your clothing how is it different if you
have an ill-fitting suit and a well
fitting suit grooming is not really a
choice it’s in need today for men as
well as women so invest in good grooming
tools and make sure that you follow a
grooming regime look at a complete
formal look trimmed haircut clean shaven

please ensure that it is well managed in
well trimmed warm smile formal dress
good body posture and a firm handshake
good body posture and a good firm
handshake can be the strongest factors
to give you an edge over others and you
will be shocked to know that how a good
handshake can differentiate you and give
you that edge how a good handshake looks
like firm handshake maintaining the eye
contact with a warm smile genuine okay
and if you greet someone like that the
handshake is is actually a the first
touch that you give to somebody and
through that you show your warmth and
your friendliness and your openness so
make sure that handshake is good and
firm and is gender neutral so even a
woman if she gives a good handshake a
firm handshake she is considered and
perceived as more confident so in a
business scenario a good handshake and a
firm handshake is gender-neutral so go
for that good handshake a perfect
example by a famous gen-xer couple the
beckham’s clothes communicate
do you see the difference the casual
look super casual look and the formal
look so these pictures were only to make
sure that you know how clothes
communicate always remember that your
body language speaks volumes so be
confident when you stand use open hand
gestures never point at people make sure
that you’re using open hand gestures

request all of you to please rise just
for a second give me a minute thank you
