Smarter Image

Science has found that people react both consciously and subconsciously to the visual messages that are directed at them. This discovery explains why millions of individuals a years judge books by their covers, purchase homes for their curb appeal, prefer TV to radio and believe that one picture is worth a thousand words. In this increasingly visual culture we are living in;  82 % of all impressions we make are visual and where within 7 seconds of someone meeting you before you even have a chance to speak a word or present your credentials they will already have started to form impressions about your character and abilities such as your educational level, social heritage, trustworthiness, personality, financial status and professional ability it is no surprise that one of the most powerful forms of communication has become nonverbal communication. A person communicates nonverbally through their visual image and nonverbal behavior.  Learning to develop your nonverbal communication skills to create a perfect professional image is critical to your professional success and important to building relationships with others.  Possessing the ability to effectively use nonverbal communication in order to achieve your professional objectives and goals gives you  a powerful advantage over your competitor.

 Some proven benefits of being able to project a powerful professional image and successfully communicating nonverbally are:

•  Attractive people earn 12% more over a working career than do unattractive people.

• Upgrading a mediocre business appearance to a polish and effective appearance increased starting salaries 8 to 20 %
