How to Project Champagne Taste on Beer Budget?

Of all of the things you wear, your facial expression is the most important. Smile: a real smile starts in the heart, show around the mouth and moves up to the eyes and what you thought were wrinkles, are really your positive attitude indicators. A genuine smile has a powerful and positive impact on others.

Select fabrics, colors and styles that emphasize your best features and that minimize your less than perfect features. When you are well put together, people remember that you look like a polished professional. This is called visual integrity. Color plays an important role in the messages you send out. Darker colors have more power and authority than lighter colors. Avoid orange, yellow, mustard and Olive greens in the corporate environment. Shiny fabrics are more appropriate after business hours.

Your accessories make a statement about you as well. Select a good quality pen. Your watch should be a classic, timeless piece of high quality. Slim down that fat wallet that adds a big bulge in your back pocket. Replace that worn out brief case. Please, no back-packs in the business environment. Check your umbrella and luggage as well. Everything makes a statement about you. That statement is either working in your favor or working against you.

Your clothing, shoes and accessories make a non-verbal statement about you and people do make their judgments within just a few seconds. Select fewer items of higher quality.

Give someone your complete and undivided attention. Pay them a sincere compliment. If you have forgotten their name, just ask.

Polish, poise, posture and presence. You are the Message!

 We do tend to forget or neglect all these things time and again… Nice and lucid.

 True Naresh. Arpan has done well to encapsulate several things here in a simple fashion.
