The Ambitious Image:
Own it from the Boardroom to the Bedroom
by Tavia Sharp, CEO of Styled Sharp
As an Image and Personal Branding coach, I work with ambitious men who want to make their competition irrelevant by stepping into their next level so they can magnetically attract more of [what they desire personally & professionally. After working for 15 years as a NYC based designer and stylist for some of the top fashion brands like Calvin Klein and Nautica and dressing celebs like Drake, Chrissy Teigen and Ne-Yo, I realized that the key to magnetizing people towards you is to dress the part and own it. I believe having a profitable image is the X factor for men to magnetize everything they want in life!
Did you know, 75% of people believe that a well dressed man is more successful?
We often hear, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but the reality is the book cover is your first impression which includes your appearance. Now that we are all living and working remotely, people are checking you out online more than ever. From your photos to your digital profiles to your Zoom backgrounds. First impressions online have the same gravitas as meeting in person. It’s time to start thinking about how your online image is impacting your results. This is your opportunity to stand out and break through the digital noise. This is where I come in.
Take Devin for example. We first worked on crafting his 2.0 vision of what he wanted to create for himself, his business and his life so he could step into his future power player self now. We then built a killer wardrobe around his best styles, colors, and fits that reflects this 2.0 vision. I selected the best stores and brands to shop and afterwards, I created a done-for-you Lookbook of all his newly styled looks. Then we set up a branding photoshoot with Karjaka to give his online presence a boost. He is now rocking his new look with confidence and emitting a magnetic presence that instantly attracts people towards him.
When you look the part, you can charge the part. Whether it’s in dating or in business, be aware of what people aren’t saying but are actually thinking. Updating your appearance is one of the quickest ways to do that. You get to take the power back by taking control of your image and your personal brand. That’s when you get to say how people interpret you. That’s the power your image has.
Look, there are many things out of your control right now, but the one thing you can control is your image. It’s time to get in the driver’s seat and make it your #1 asset.
Here are 3 ways that you can stand out and get noticed online:
- Level Up Your LOOK
When you look the part, you can charge the part. Many studies have shown people buy from people that look successful so your appearance is absolutely making an impression. It creates trust and credibility and helps you stand out in a good way. Whether that’s in dating or in business, you have to be aware of what people aren’t saying but are actually thinking. Updating your appearance is one of the quickest ways to stand out online.
2. Brand Yourself Online
How you look, how you speak and how you act is your personal brand. Personal Branding is a buzz word these days but here’s the thing, you cannot just focus on your message, your image has to match. This is how you build that know, like and trust faster. Be intentional about it. Are people experiencing consistency when they Google you, look you up on social media, meet on Zoom or in person? Start thinking about what you want to be known for and start showing up that way!
3. Polish Up Your Profile Pics
Besides your appearance, make sure your photos are a match for your brand. Especially on your digital profiles! Some questions to ask yourself: Are you communicating visually who you are and what you’re about? How about your interests and values? Do your pictures represent your personality and highlight your best self? Do they paint the picture of someone that the viewer wants to get to know more? Your profile should reflect all of that so people want to take the time to connect with you.
All of these things combined make for an impactful online image. Look, there are many things out of your control right now, but the one thing you can control is your image. It’s time to take charge of it!
