I = Impression
The way you present yourself has a profound effect on your future success. Assess yourself honestly. Are you projecting a positive and lasting impression - every time in every situation? Remember, you do not get a second chance to make a first impression.

M = Mannerisms
People ‘read’ your body language – does it match what you are saying? Aim for your nonverbal message to be consistent and congruent with your verbal message. Consider your mannerisms, gestures, posture, facial expressions, eye contact.

A = Attitude
Whether you are a high-energy extrovert or a quiet, even-keeled introvert you can demonstrate a positive, can-do attitude. Act and look successful and you will be viewed as successful. Project confidence and competence through your refined communication skills. Most of all, believe in yourself!

G = Grooming
Good grooming sends a clear message about how much you respect yourself. Pay scrupulous attention to your skin, hair, dental hygiene and nail care. Strive for a polished personal appearance that reflects your individuality and unique personality.

E = Etiquette
Exemplary personal and communication skills in social and business environments will go a long way towards professional success. You will appear confident and competent – you will be noticed and remembered. You will be regarded as a person who’s got what it takes!
