BEFORE & AFTER: ALYSIA LONG BE INTENTIONAL The reason why most corporate professionals are disappointed with professional images taken by their organization is because nothing is intentional. When it comes to lighting, no thought or consideration is given to skin tone. NOT INTENTIONAL. When it comes to making the subject feel comfortable, little direction or encouragement is given. NOT INTENTIONAL. When it comes to ensuring the subject's clothing looks and fits well, no assistance is provided. NOT INTENTIONAL. Even when it comes to offering flattering background or makeup options that look natural, these aren’t provided. NOT INTENTIONAL In order to get transformational results like the remarkable Alysia Long, SVP and General Council for Cox Media Group, you must BE INTENTIONAL. Direct Message to provide you or your team with a BRAND that is not only intentional, it’s transformational. #personalbranding #corporateheadshots

“There’s no substitute for experience” – often when we’re young, we think we know everything and people with experience are out of touch, don’t understand, are stuck in their ways, etc.. As we get older and gain experience, we come to understand the value of experience. This is NOT a negative commentary on the younger generation – I think we need the combination of both to thrive and continue to learn from each other. Sandrine V. has worked for Fortune, CNN, Turner, Fox, and Viacom in analytics and strategic roles – talk about experience! So when we discussed the look for her headshot, experience was one of the primary impressions we wanted her headshot to demonstrate and emphasize. That along with energy, intelligence, and approachability. We started with clothing choices – a darker jacket and lighter colored blouse. The darker outer garment contrasts nicely with her skin tone/hair, as well as her blouse, and is definitely a business look – not stuffy, but definitely professional. I tend to gravitate towards darker colored backgrounds (I do shoot white and also like that look as well, but it’s a different feel) as I think people contrast well against it. The human eye naturally gravitates towards lighter areas of a photograph, so a darker background inherently focuses the viewers eye on the subject’s face. The biggest impression comes from her expression - you can see the confidence in her eyes combined with her smile – she looks like she knows her stuff!!!! And having met/worked with her, I can confidently say she’s the real deal!

WHAT IS YOUR BRAND STYLE? Having a brand signature style captures conversations and requires brand protection whatever the situation! A signature style easily ensures consistency which is one of the primary reasons for creating a brand style. This style consistency makes it recognizable across different platforms and materials and creates topics of conversation, or hot gossip, even when nothing of significance is happening! People just like to talk about people 🤣 Anna has a clear and a distinctive signature style (glasses, no sunglasses and her hair style) - Steve Jobs had turtle neck jumper and jeans and Charlie Chaplin had his 'toothbrush' moustache - brand style creates memorable media moments, continual gossip (ie publicity) and emotional association - think love it hate it.💥 What could you embody as your brand signature style? #personalbranding #personalbrand #personalbrandingexpert

Be the person that's ready to step in. Why consistency is crucial in personal branding. Meggie Palmer of PepTalkHer and I had a lively discussion in a recent conversation about the Science of Style and Strategy. It's not just about making a great first impression, but about maintaining that impression over time. Whether you're interviewing for a job or aiming for a promotion, those above you on the career ladder are observing your potential for leadership. Every message you send, including how you present yourself visually, provides insight. So be the person who's always ready to step in, even at the last minute because when someone senior can't make a meeting, they'll be looking at who shows up visibly and looks the part. With 18 years experience helping professional women with their wardrobes, I know that simplifying your style and wardrobe is the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to become effortlessly stylish every day. I've got a tried and tested process you too can learn and use.

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥. When you look at the image of me on the left, I don’t look confident, I don’t look stylish or pulled together and if I ran around town looking like this, let’s be honest, I would never be hired as a Personal Stylist! The image on the right reflects a woman who looks more confident, feels more confident, and is showing off her own personal style. I’m dressed, I’m comfortable, and I love the details on my blouse. The proportion with my shirt tucked is correct with the wideleg pants. My style is approachable, which speaks to who I am in life. THIS is a Personal Stylist people would hire. Unfortunately, these days, I see women walking around looking more like the image of me on the left than ever before. As an image strategist, I know that this is not only impacting how she is being perceived externally (only because that is a human behavior), but also internally. She doesn’t put enough value in herself to put on real clothes. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫. 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞?

**FIRST DATE AT WORK AGE 21** Honestly, when I was invited along to my first Women's only networking group all I could visualise was businesswomen in suits with big shoulder pads and even bigger hair. My excuse: I did start my career in fashion retailing in London in 1991 and spent my first 5 years around power crazed women trying to fight to get to the top in business. (To be honest it didn't get any better as we went into 2000's) [I also thought I was supposed to confirm with my doubles breasted suit, shoulder pads, pencil skirt and who knows what was going on with my hair.] With that image in my mind, I said no several times to women only networking groups, before I took the plunge and thought it can't be that bad. Then, a new set of worries set in. What to wear. Heels or no heels. How was I going to be judged as an Interior Designer (surely, I needed to make a statement with my outfit based on my profession). Do I take examples of work or will that be seen as 'showing off' Fast Forward to the event and OMG, why had I not networked with women only groups earlier. I met a fantastic set of local business owners, passionate and super focused about their business and not a 'power trip' in sight. If you've spent too long worrying about networking any not enough time taking action, then I am here to support you.
