Creating the image for YOU that matches how you want others to perceive YOU
Judgements
What’s all this fuss about image? Why should I bother about my appearance at work, surely it’s the quality and output of my work that really matters? People should appreciate me for who I am on the inside, not for my clothes, or the way I do my hair. I’m unique, an individual and I am not going to let anyone dictate how I should look or behave. If they don’t like me for who I am, that’s their problem.
