“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.”
What you wear affects and influences how others see, respond, and interact with you. The way you dress can also enhance your self-esteem and make you feel A LOT more confident and powerful. Public image can add a lot to your success journey. Especially so if you have the guidance of the right image consultant.

When I asked Elisabete for some style and image-building tips that she would like to share with the readers of this blog, she shared some things which I believe can genuinely make a huge change if you actually apply them. By the way, I can swear by the third tip below. So make sure you go through all the tips.
Style tips:
"My 5 style tips that instantly glam you up"
1. To tuck or not to tuck - I almost always prefer tuck or half tuck the French-tuck it always looks chicer and polished
2. Proportion is key: handbags for example should be proportional to your body too big or too small can turn the look instantly a tiny bag can make you look bigger
3. Sleeves always look better when rolled up or scrunched up you can use an elastic band to hold them in place - not only blazers try also with blouses and dresses
4. Must have always: double-sided tape it’s a life saver when an alternative to alterations you can quickly solve a too revealing dress hold a lapel in place and many other
5. Undergarments are the key always invest in a few good undergarments a dress can look totally different if you wear a body shaper.
1. Good Manners go hand in hand with leadership - work on your manners simple things can make the difference
2. Kindness is Confidence - be kinder to yourself first then to others - we often put way to much pressure on ourselves wanting to be the best to be right to be perfect, give yourself a pat in the back and say "I AM ENOUGH"
3. Be assertive not Aggressive - you should speak out clearly straightforward but always with a dose of kindness and care.
4. Make an entrance - let every head turn just by the way you walk act and wear
5. You have a tenth of a second to make an impression - make it a good one. it’s very hard to recover from a bad impression. doable but difficult.
If you feel invisible, not as confident as you could at work or when making new connections, are changing your outfits 3-4 times each morning before you finally find one that works, want to upscale your look but have NO idea where to begin, are clueless about what looks good on your body, and are wondering how the dazzling person you once were got lost.. then it may be a good time to add an image consultant to your professional coaching team. And I would highly recommend Elisabete Reis.
