The “X” Factor: Strategies for Winning Images, Lasting Impressions, and Brilliant Brands

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify and enhance personal brand image
Everyone is looking for ways to gain a competitive edge. How can we ensure success? Or, how can we avoid mistakes
and pitfalls? The secret to long-term success is leaving lasting impressions. You may need a brand and image makeover. We all have an image, whether good or bad, that leaves an impression on everyone we meet. We are often unaware of what that image is really saying. When people hear your name or look at you, they have a series of perceptions that determine their decisions and thoughts. These consistent thoughts define your brand. Your visual appearance, actions, reactions, and reputation impact those perceptions. “Behavior is the mirror in which everyone
shows their image.” –Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
