SESSION TEN: CREATING A POSITIVE SELF-IMAGE

Some people give little thought to their image, while others seem to focus on it exclusively. While dressing well can be inconvenient at times (since dry cleaning, ironing, and fabric care take some time and money), it can do great things for your career.

In this session, we will discuss how self-image influences your results, and what you can do to improve your self-image with your career in mind.

Seven Things People Determine from Your Appearance

Another element of our communication with others is our image of ourselves and our awareness of how others see us. This is a big part of our ability to give feedback to, and take feedback from, others.

While it may not seem fair or accurate, people do make judgments based on your appearance. If you take a deep look inside yourself, you probably judge people by their appearance, too. In general, we tend to assume seven things, just based on appearance alone.

These things include:

• Income
• Education Level
• Social Position
• Sophistication
• Success
• Moral Character
• Trustworthiness
