I am dynamic! I really have the ability to draw people in and together when working on projects. When people get to know me, I gain their trust. Sometimes I feel like I turn people off initially because maybe I don't follow all of the office norms. Can anyone recommend a seminar or book that might be able to help me polish my image?

Also I would like to polish off my look but don't feel like I have a lot of examples that would work for my in my office setting - I am the baby in my work place. Is there a website or online consulting company that could look at some pictures of my body type and such an make some recommendations?



Thanks a bunch!

There are actually workplace consultants whose job it is to help you look good at your job, be it through skills or fashion. I'm sure there are books-- but I always prefer personal feedback. You could try one of them as long as you can take constructive criticism!

I upgraded my image myself and people started taking me more seriously.
I started wearing business suits instead of slacks and shirts, started wearing my name tag, added my credentials next to my name on the business card and email signature, stopped kidding with the staff and "being one of them", restyled my hair to a formal looking style instead of sexy, long hairdo, pedicures etc.
Apearances go a long way but you have to back it up by substance.
