what is image management
Image Management is the art and science of managing a person's appearance to create powerful first impressions that lead to more opportunities and help develop essential soft skills to perform at your peak when these opportunities present themselves. It covers the complete spectrum of appearance, behaviour, communication and digital presence.
In today’s competitive work environment, we need to set ourselves apart - online and offline - to ensure we stand out and thrive. Presenting a positive and memorable image is the first step towards gaining a competitive edge. Research shows that academic education and technical knowledge are not enough to be successful.
Understanding and managing your image – your appearance, behaviour, and the way you communicate - will give you a competitive advantage over others that will ultimately enhance your reputation and boost your work results.
