How Your Personal Style is Impacting Your Future Success
So, what do I mean when I talk about style? I don’t mean being super fashionable or ultra-stylish(although those are fabulous things too) I’m referring to your personal style. How do you see yourself? What do you believe you deserve when it comes to clothing yourself, spending money on yourself, and looking and feeling good? What is the physical package you choose to present to the world? All the answers to those questions, make up your personal style.
And why is your personal style important? Well, how we dress ourselves is a form of body language, which actually affects how we think, how we feel and how we behave, and whether we realise it or not, when we get dressed in the morning, we’re telling a story about ourselves. We’re highlighting what makes us interesting, what makes us attractive, and sending powerful subliminal messages to everyone around us. A first impression is made within 7 seconds, and 55% of that is made based on what people see. And based on what they see, studies show others will make decisions on how successful you are, how confident you are, and even your intelligence, trustworthiness, authority and social status. So, as you can imagine, this can have an enormous impact on our day-to-day lives, from our careers to our relationships and most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves.
Look, you might say, “That’s really not me Shan, I don’t care what others think”–and if so, that’s perfect! But if it is something that has been on your mind, I want to tell you this: it’s important to pay attention to what you put on your body, make getting dressed in the morning a mindful act, and get clarity on the messages you want to send–dress with intention. What do you want your outfit to say? Because your personal presentation can tell a room “I’m confident, I love myself, I respect and accept myself, and expect you to treat me the same way in return.”
When we dress with intention, it creates opportunities for profound impact and influence whenever we walk into a room, whether that be a business meeting, a barbecue or a date. Now, if personal style is important to you, but I’m starting to create pictures in your mind of grand entrances, and it’s giving you the heebie-jeebies, that’s totally fine, but you can still dress and present yourself in a way that reminds people that YOU ARE IN THE ROOM.
So, I ask you, what kind of personal style energy are you currently sending out, and what kind of personal style energy do you want to send out? Because taking care of your presentation is not about worrying about what other people think, but rather understanding how other people think, and how YOU can use that, just as you would any other skill, to influence those around you. Above all, taking care of personal presentation, is an act of self-love and self-empowerment. And a good foundation of self-love, is the foundation of future success.
If you feel your personal presentation is something that is holding you back, and that there are some self-limiting beliefs which are blocking you from wealth & success, working with a professional coach can help you clear these.

You’ve got this. It’s time to reclaim your power and do it all with style–you are worthy.
