President’s MessageContinued from page 1Along with the business shirtsuit, women have the choice ofwearing a dress or a businesspants suit. Flashy and trendyclothing would be less acceptableand this image will set you apartfrom the crowd. Attire thatcould be worn to an after-fiveevent is inappropriate for thework place. Likewise, unless youwork in a relax environment, youprobably do not want to wearclothing what you wear to theball park.The concept of personal brandingalso applies to successfulleadership and how you projectyourself will have a great impacton how you will be remembered.The concept itself and impact canbe applied to your authority andwhether or not you will be takenseriously or not.The cliché “first impressions arelasting ones” holds a great truthand I have always prepared myselffor many levels higher than whereI actually was in my employment.This can apply to any aspect ofyour life and how yourprofessionalism is perceived.Once you are viewed as being weakor indecisive, it can be verydifficult for others to seethings your way. Personalbranding and image is acontinuous process needingmanagement and nurturing. Youshould always strive to seek selfimprovement whether it isemotionally, spiritually,physically or financially.“If you shoot for the moon andfall short, you still end upbeing a star”.
