Presenting Yourself

This book provides men with guidance on the colour, style and presentation skills they need. With competition for jobs, promotion and business at a record high, projecting a successful image has never been more important. Research consistently proves that appearance and image matter just as much as achievements and experience. The first part of this book is a reference guide. It covers everything from how to choose a suit style appropriate for your height and build and which tie and shirt colours are the most flattering for your skin tone and hair colour, to choosing accessories to complete the look, recognising quality and getting the right fit. Wrong-way-to-do-it and right-way-to-do-it photographic sequences effectively illustrate all the key points. How you dress is only part of the story. The second part of the book explains how your image is also affected by how you sound and how you present yourself to others in meetings, when you give presentations or on television.
Drawing on her skills and experience gained from advising clients such as Marks and Spencer, IBM, city institutions and the Liberal Democrats, Mary Spillane provides invaluable advice and tips to ensure you present a successful image at all times, whatever the occasion.
