Polished Professional Image Blog

The Give Yourself a Boost workshops were created to give you, the woman professional, an edge in climbing the ladder of success. The first section of the series is the goal setting workshop. This was included to help you develop a focus on your career goals. What does this have to do with having a professional image? Well, the definition of professional image varies according to where you want to be in your career. But how will you know that you have a professional image for where you want to be if you don’t know where you want to be? That is why writng down you goals is so important. Your success depends on your ability to turn your dreams and visions into reality. Yet, less than 15 % of the population takes the time to write down their goals. Conversely, close to 100% of successful people do take that time.

Why write them down? The everyday influences of the world can take your focus off of your purpose. The media tells us that we need to focus on having blue-white teeth, platypus lips and eyebrows that don’t move (how many of those commercials feature men?) and that’s okay, if that’s for you. However, you also need to keep your focus on your career goals and the only way to keep that focus top-of-mind is to write them down. Writing them down gives them credibility to your brain and provides you with something physical to refer to.

If you need to jump-start your goal setting, email me and we will set up your half hour consultation. To go through the step-by-step plan, visit the Give Yourself a Boost site at www.giveyourselfaboost.com and sign up for the online workshop.
