How Personal Style Represents Your Personal Brand

Powerful Personal Brand

Like it or not, people make snap judgments about your appearance. How can you use this tendency to your advantage for your personal brand?

My guests today use their specialized knowledge to help professionals make powerful first impressions about their personal brands without needing to say a word.

Some people might consider personal style to be an expression of vanity. This mom-and-daughter duo debunks that theory by diving into the science of first impressions, color theory, and visual communication.

The human mind loves to categorize and make quick decisions. Unfortunately, this process is not always accurate. Snap judgments may not be fair, but they happen all the time. That is why it’s so critical to understand the non-verbal statements we make by what we wear. By understanding how style communicates your values, you can better align your appearance with your personal brand to make your messaging congruent.

Understanding the messages of a stiff white collar or a relaxed sweater can mean the difference between establishing authority, trust, or neither.
