With the corona virus still looming, we are all eager for some of the changes to how we live life go away! However we are also coming to realize many of these changes may not be so temporary. We at The Clothing Coach in San Francisco understand some of the way we interact with our clients may never be the same. One of those likely new staples, is the increasing reliance on meeting virtually.
Zoom, Skype, Facetimes and so on…the likelihood many social clubs, company meetings, interviews and others may continue to rely on virtual meets. While we adapt to new changes, many of the same old proven principles apply. And it’s actually becoming more important than ever to be debonair for your webinar. Here’s 3 tips to better serve your personal branding:
-
Dress more formally– the earlier in the morning the meeting is, -the better. Depending on the type of meeting, this can be an easy win. Clearly you may be from the comfort of your own home, which is why is speaks volumes to boost your personal brand as a professional that you STILL put on a suit or even tie. The fact that you don’t need to is part of the point. This allows you to stand out without speaking and communicates confidence, respect, professionalism; and a multitude of positive attributes to have associated with your personal brand.
-
SMILE!- You may feel alone, remember you are not. No one likes a fake smile, but it’s important to relax your brows, ease your shoulders, breathe….and just smile! This will aid your personal brand, and boost your confidence and approachability.
-
Find The Right Angle- This shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. Practice with your camera and fight the right height and placement to be viewed. Of course lighting and audio is among the important details, make this routine and will it will become effortless.
