Community from an infrastructure and technology standpoint.
Has “Technology” Changed Your Appearance?
Sharon Gordon,
Federal Highway Administration
In the world of email, texting, teleconferencing and telecommuting,
there is a tendency for us to dress “casual.” Stakeholders, clients, coworkers and employers
connect how you treat your work with how you treat yourself. Dressing with the desire to
project an executive presence – or the “WOW” factor that makes great leaders stand out – can
make a big difference. It is about your professionalism in the workplace and its effect on
perceptions, interactions and opportunities. Join us for some pointers on what looks
appropriate, what should be left off, and what helps paint the professional picture that will
forever be embedded in others mind!
