TJ WALKER - THE HABIT INFLUENCER - Personal Development | LIVE STREAM

You've heard the old expression, you are what you wear. The clothes make the man or the woman. Yes, but that can work for you or against you. In the news, United Kingdom, British. The British Prime Minister Theresa May being criticized, ridiculed, mocked for wearing a pair of leather pants in an interview the other day. They cost $1,250. And people are saying, is she out of touch? What is she thinking? This is a time of austerity. People are hurting, and she's wearing such luxury. What is she thinking? Let me be honest. Life is unfair. And this is one of those situations where I do think women are judged much more harshly than men, and they are scrutinized every aspect of what they're wearing. But here's what you've got to think about. When you are giving a speech, a presentation, when you are doing a media interview, you have to ask yourself, is there anything confusing about what I'm wearing? I'm wearing a business suit and a tie here because typically the clients I work with are often wearing suits. And if I just wore a bathing suit today or a bathrobe, it would either strike you as comical or disgusting. And I don't want to confuse you. The number one rule you really need to think about when you're dressing for a speech, when you're dressing for a media interview, you need to ask yourself, am I going to confuse people? Are they going to wonder why is this person wearing this when they're talking about this? You want something that is consistent with who you are and what you're about. Do that and you will be in great shape. If you're a dairy farmer, wear the jeans and a work shirt. If you are a business executive in a traditional industry where everyone wears a suit and tie, then wear that. There's no one perfect thing to wear as long as your audience isn't confused. I'm T.J. walker.
