“You want to be taken seriously, you got to have serious hair.”<\/h3>\n

– Tess in the film Working Girl<\/em><\/p>\n

Remember this moment when Melanie Griffith’s character went from her “working girl” hair to a shorter, more serious do?<\/p>\n

You can chalk it up to dramatic license, but I think there was actually an interesting tidbit on personal branding in there.<\/p>\n

Like it or not, we are judged by how we look.<\/p>\n

Lest you think that this is a women’s only issue, check out\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>this article <\/a>about a recent study that found that\u00a0CEO’s \u00a0(all men) look more or less credible according to their facial features.<\/p>\n

I think it’s not only the way other’s percieve you, but also about how they way you look makes you feel about yourself.<\/p>\n

This may sound shallow, but I feel more confident when my hair is under control.<\/p>\n

When I have a big speaking engagement, one of the first things I do is schedule a blow-out.<\/p>\n

Of course, I also prepare very hard to make sure I know my content and that it will be relevant and engaging for my audience.<\/p>\n

But I feel more credible when I also look the part of\u00a0 “professional speaker”.<\/p>\n

That’s my point of view. What’s your twist?<\/p>\n

How does the way you look impact how you feel about\u00a0\u00a0personal brand (yours or other’s)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
