Читать книгу Presentation Skills in 7 simple steps - James Schofield - Страница 33

It’s unfair but we make judgments about people when we first meet them so you should try to wear clothes that meet your audience’s expectations. This doesn’t always mean you have to wear a business suit; if you’re talking to a group of software programmers, they may not take you seriously looking like that. Before your presentation, check what audience you can expect and dress slightly more formally than them, while remaining comfortable. Uncomfortable clothes can be distracting; avoid wearing a collar that’s too tight or shoes that have too high a heel even if you look great in them. That way you can devote all your attention to the job at hand. And always remember: what might look stunning in the mirror at home can seem very skimpy when you’re standing in front of a room full of people and all eyes are on you.
