Do people describe you as being sophisticated, classy, elegant, suave or refined? Are your dealings with colleagues, seniors, juniors, customers, family and friends known for politeness and sincerity? Does the inside of you match outside?
The path to success is a mosaic of many different positive attributes that we need to develop over time. It is important to nurture as many of these aspects along the way. Some may make the excuse of affordability when it comes to dress. This is simply not true. We do not need to be attired in the latest designer fashions, sporting brand name accoutrement to signify that we are someone. What we really need is to be mindful of our appearance y being neat and clean with a good measure of personal hygiene4 thrown in. be aware of the occasion and dress accordingly. Your posture says a lot about you, as does your handshake and smile. Good table manners and social skills that attest to your refinement will stand you in good stead. But I must raise a flag of caution here: you simply cannot work on the appearance part alone without building up the inside. Without congruence, seamlessness between your inner and outer self, you will soon fall apart and perhaps even be thought of as a fraud. The first steps in setting off in this direction are awareness and hen a desire to do something about it. Help is available if you look in the right places. What do you want for?
