The way you express yourself, behave, act and dress forms your personal image. It is able to influence the way people read you. This concept is increasingly present in our daily lives, as we are increasingly exposed not only in person, but also in our online lives.
The personal image has merged with the professional image, which is why it is so necessary to pay attention to what we want to convey. After all, personal image helps build a career brand in the workplace, sending a message to our colleagues, patients, bosses.
Aligning our personality and essence with our professional goals is a great key to success and building reputation, competence and authority.
Influence of Personal Image on first impression

- 58% image and clothing;
- 18% tone of voice;

In other words, personal image is a fundamental aspect when it comes to impressing. If we want to convey an image of authority, confidence and competence, it is necessary to adapt your personality to your profession.
Authenticity and personality at work
Some research indicates that those who take care of their personal image in corporate life and in the workplace earn up to 12% more than other professionals. This is because being dressed according to protocol gives a greater feeling of security and enhances qualities.
However, it is necessary to remember that, even with the requirement of a dress code, you can and should be authentic and express your essence and style. The first step is to improve your visual self-perception and be consistent with who you are.
