IMAGE TIPS
Look Like a Polished Professional

Dear Readers,

Arthur Ashe said, "Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory."

CHOOSING FROM THE HEART & SOUL

Most people choose clothing from the "heart and soul" and it usually has nothing to do with the results in the mirror. Human resources professional, Patty Bonner, bought her beautiful handcrafted sweater on a recent trip to Norway. Though lovely, the style does not suit her, since both bulky fabrics and large patterns make everyone look larger. The result? She looks top heavy and full through the midriff. Take a look at Patty in the simple black dress. Its uncluttered lines and dark color make it slimming and flattering. And Patty has shapely ankles and legs - perfect for being shown off in a knee-length skirt! We added bold earrings and dramatic brooch to keep the black dress from looking somber. Patty also has an updated hairdo, giving her a more polished and professional look. She consults for small companies whose budgets don't always allow for a full-time H.R. Director, and she has found that her new look enables her to have doors opened more easily.

POWER DRESSING & THE IRAQ PRISON SCANDAL

And now, the rest of the story from last month's IMAGE TIPS article about the power of "uniforms" to equate with authority - and the frightening information it reveals about the recent Iraq prison scandal. I am indebted to the research and writings of Robert Cialdini, Ph.D., whose research revealed our sub- conscious and deep-seated sense of duty to authority.

Dr. Cialdini recounts a laboratory experiment involving a university researcher (the "Authority") and people who answered an ad to be volunteers in an experiment to test memory. Volunteers from newspaper ads were told that the experiment was to study how punishment affects learning and memory. One volunteer would be the Learner and the other the Teacher, with the Researcher in charge. The Teacher was to test the Learner's memory and to deliver increasingly strong electric shocks for every mistake the Learner made.

The experiment yielded unexpected and frightening results.
