3 Rules to Dressing Awesome at Work & Impressing Everyone

3 Rules to Dressing Awesome at Work

Fresh out of college, at my first job, I showed up at my office in a pink sweatsuit. It was a marketing firm, where the casual dress code was pretty liberal, but this was a downright horrible choice.

After receiving some feedback on my outfit, I never pulled that sweatsuit out again, and fully realized the power of personal image.

You may never make the same “dressing for success” mistakes that I made, but ever wonder why some people look so poised and powerful in their work attire? Strolling through the office, their appearance is impeccable and people respect them. Click Here to Read Article …

What is Your Leadership Style?

your leadership style

As a young leader I’ve been observing how others treat their peers and subordinates. In fact, before I was a leader I was already identifying how I would and would not lead, when I had people to follow me. Influenced by both those I looked up to and established authors, I started to write down what type of leadership style I would embody.

First off, borrowed from John Maxwell’s The 360 Degree Leader book, I firmly believe that a leader is a servant. If you’re at the top, your job is to help those below you do a better job, or as John Maxwell puts it “add value”. If you’re at the bottom, your job is to help those above you do their jobs better. If you’re in the middle, well, you’re helping above, below, and just as importantly across. Let’s also not forget that he advocates you leading yourself before any other leading takes place.

Job Hunting with Confidence

Confidence

“Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.”

— Vince Lombardi

Sometimes we find inspiration in the strangest places.

A couple weeks ago I found myself transfixed to a CD recording of The Unemployed Millionaire by Matt Morris. At a certain point in the book, Morris recalls a conversation he had early in his career with a sales guru that was considered one of the best in the business. Morris quickly became a follower and sought every opportunity to learn everything he could about what made this special person tick. Click Here to Read Article …

No Sweat! 4 Tips to Improve Confidence During a Video Interview

Your voice is shaky, your palms are sweaty, and you are covered in flop sweat. If this is you when preparing for an important video interview for a job, then spoiler alert: You won’t be getting the job! Employers look for job candidates that seem put together, relaxed, and above all, confident. If you can’t even handle the pressures of a job interview, they figure you won’t be able to handle the pressures of the actual job.

In fact, it’s turning out confidence might be even more important than originally thought for achieving interview success. According to a recent study from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to be published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, narcissists might have a leg up on the interviewing competition. The study results show that narcissists score much higher than non-narcissists in simulated job interviews. Click Here to Read Article …

6 Steps to Stop Caring What Other People Think

Stop Caring What Other People Think

You may be aware that in life, most things typically exist on two levels. To succeed at relationships for example, you must fix your inner game – your self confidence, maturity, self esteem.

Competence or Confidence?

Competence or confidence.

Which comes first? Do your ever-improving skills grant you confidence? Or, alternatively, is it your confidence that catalyzes the growth of your skills?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

You can certainly have one in spades and suffer a conspicuous lack of the other. Some people are brimming with confidence and have no skills to back up all that bravado. Others have a brilliant array of abilities, but don’t have the gumption to put them all to use.

Sure, it would be ideal to have tons of both. But if you could only have one, which would you pick? Which is a “nice to have” and which is a critical component of your working persona? Click Here to Read Article …
