It’s your big moment. You’ve been working up to it. You’re on stage and able to share your message with a large audience. Maybe it’s a TED talk, you’ve been invited onto a TV show as a guest, perhaps it’s at a global event or you’re giving a seminar.
• You booked your hotel weeks in advance.
• Train tickets were ordered the day you found out the dates.
• Your notes and bullet points have been written, re-written and polished.
• Your intro and exit music has been sent to the sound crew in plenty of time
• You’ve even booked a table at a posh restaurant to celebrate.
So why is it that you are running around like a headless chicken the day before you leave trying to work out what you are going to wear? Fishing items out of the dirty laundry, trying on 20 outfits and asking your cats’ opinion and taking 5 of them with you to do the same thing at your hotel.
Your first impression on stage is given before you even open your mouth so how you look is vital to getting your message across.
Only around seven percent of communication is verbal the rest is a mix of body language, facial expressions and appearance. Don’t let these let you down befor you even open your mouth. I specialise in helping speakers, coaches and those who work on stage and in front of the camera to look and feel their best by knowing what to wear.
If you’ve got event coming up and want some help with how to look your best self and what to wear, get in touch.
