Delivering a
training or holding a presentation is not all about the content but also on how
you conduct yourself and how you dress for the part. Finding the perfect
balance between looking professional and also relating adequately to the
audience may prove difficult in some situation. Here you can find some tips and
tricks to follow in choosing your clothing for running your training plan.

We will start
with the Six S’s of dressing to work in your favor.
1. Sleeves
It is recommended to wear long sleeves
because they inspire authority and respect, therefore the audience will pay
more attention to what you are saying. Just stop thinking how you would react
to a speaker wearing short sleeves opposed to long ones. You may observe the
difference in perception.
2.
Surroundings
Study the room where you will be holding
the training or call the location and find out the colors of the room, the
decorations and atmosphere in order not to blend in. For example, if the walls
are blue do not dress in blue.
3.
Skirts
This point refers to women and their attention to the length of
their skirts. If you will be presenting on a stage, your skirt will appear much
shorter, therefore choose a mid-knee skirt, no matter how tall or short you
are.
4.
Shoes
Make sure your shoes are neat and clean
before you begin your training. The color of the shoes should be one note
darker than your pants/skirt or the attention of the audience will be
distracted by the lighter shoes.
5.
Style
Do not hesitate to call on a tailor to
adjust your clothing to your body measures. Everyone is unique in structure and
should fit their clothes according to it. Otherwise the audience will observe
if your pants or sleeves are longer or shorter than needed.
6.
Silk ties
Choose 100% silk ties but be sure you buy
it in your size. The tip of your tie should hit the middle of your belt buckle.
