Take Back Your Instant Message

I...AM, when put together,?they’re simply?two words; add a third and they become a powerful tool. They become your "I AM" statement or as I like to call it your IM Statement - your instant message to the world.

What are you trying to convey?

• Trust?
• Organization?
• Creativity?
• Innovation?
• Reliability?

Great news:?YOU get to choose the word and your?message.?

Realistic news: OTHERS are choosing to believe it...or not.?

It’s not enough for?you?to believe your message.?You need to SHOW it to others through your?appearance, behavior, communication and digital presence.

How you present your?IM?Statement will, ultimately, determine how?you’re?seen, heard and remembered.?

Here are a few things to consider about this powerful tool:

WHO?needs an IM Statement??Everyone.?

WHAT?is an IM Statement??It’s your one word mantra. It’s how you want to be viewed.?

WEAR (yes, wear.)?How you visually present yourself, including what you wear,?is?often the first introduction to your IM Statement.?Choosing a style that conveys that statement is key. For instance, if you want someone to believe that you’re trustworthy, you need to?look?like your trustworthy.

WHEN?do I need one??Now. There’s no better time than now to take stock in how you’re presenting yourself. Are you confident in your appearance, behavior and communication??Are you?creating confidence in others??By taking control of IM Statement,?you’re creating consistency;?which in?turn,?creates confidence.?

Are people responding to you as you’d like??Are getting the?business, the promotion, the new job??

HOW:?Honing your IM Statement can be challenging. Start?with 3 words and whittle it down to the one word that is non-negotiable, and that’s a “must-have” for your success.?Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• What sets you apart from your competition?
• What qualities do you?feel are important in your business?
• If someone was to describe your character/personality/image?what?do?you hope they say?

Remember, your image isn't what you think of you, it's what others think of you.

Once you’ve decided on?your IM Statement it’s imperative that you consistently deliver it?though?your appearance, behavior, communication and your digital presence. This?becomes your image and...

Your image is your business??
