"Corporate Casual Kills Careers"

- Sandy Dumont
MAY2008
IMAGE TIPS
Look Like a Polished Professional
Dear Readers,

The Wall Street Journal quoted me last week about Corporate Casual. I think it's an oxymoron, because you are either dressed for business or for casual activities. If you feel good about who you are and what you do, shout it to the world and dress to impress!

Small Office Syndrome
Don't Get Stuck There

Makeover

"I don't need to dress up for work because I work in a small office where it doesn't matter how you dress, just how you perform. We only dress up when we know we're going to meet with a client."

Maybe that's precisely why you work in a small office and are destined to continue to do so. If you want to grow personally and move up the ladder of success, you might want to consider this: The way you look and dress announces the outcome other people can expect from you; it also announces how you feel about yourself, and you'll be treated accordingly.

University studies have proven that your performance is impacted by the appearance of those around you. It's a fact that we perform better when those around us look good. And without a doubt, when we feel good about the way we look, we feel better about ourselves, so we perform better.

When you dress solely for your own comfort, you sabotage your success and your self confidence.

Business Casual Is Dead!
Long Live Classy Casual! A GUIDE FOR MEN

business casual is deadIf you have ever wondered what "Business Casual" actually means in terms of dress, you aren't alone. In fact, I get calls repeatedly from CEOs who want me to come in and "do a workshop so the employees will know what Business Casual really means." Well, that's the problem with Business Casual - it can't be defined. You'll find out why when you read my new eBook on the subject!

This book was inspired by a seminar I attended recently that was given by Jeffrey Gitomer. There were about 2,000 people in attendance, and the majority of them were men. Very few people were "dressed to impress." Instead, most of them looked like they were ready to attend a garage sale.

This book will point out the difference between "Business Casualty" attire and "Classy Casual" attire. It is a book you can't be without if you are serious about your career.
