A professional is a person who can do his best at a time when he doesn't particularly feel like it. -- Alistair Cooke

I'm thinking about the word professionalism.  There are many factors that go into being professional and looking like it too. 

Here is some criteria so you may assess your professional image.  Where do you need to improve?

  • Clothing attire
  • Grooming
  • Consideration of Others
  • Ethics
  • Discipline
  • Courteousness
  • Responsibleness
  • Resourcefulness
  • Respectfulness
  • Organization
  • Efficiency
  • Attentive
  • Continual Education
  • Punctuality
  • Listening
  • Thoroughness

Take an honest look at yourself and assess your image. 

A true professional will show up and be their best.  Live from within and it will show throughout!

I am guilty for haircut, I've been having a flat top for over 20 years and use to get it cut every two weeks, during winter I allowed my hair to grow and cut it every three weeks. I need to go back to ever two weeks again. Thanks for the reminder.
