PODCAST SCRIPT - PRESENTATION DRESS SENSE

So, you are now ready to present or give your speech. But, what's the dress code for the event?

What will people be wearing? It sounds so petty. But it’s a question we ask over and over again. There’s no getting away from it.

To find out the dress code – just speak with the event organiser. Establish whether there is a dress code this year or even last year.

As a presenter you want to be one step ahead of your audience in the dress code. If the sales audience is dressed casually you might consider a jacket. If the customer care audience is in business dress you might want to wear a smart business suit.

Aim to dress for power, prestige and confidence. Select your wardrobe to suggest a powerful speaker brimming with authority on your subject. Select your wardrobe to indicate that you are a prestigious speaker at the top of your game. Someone worth listening to.

And, select your wardrobe with your own confidence in mind. If this was a job interview how would you dress? Dress to feel confident. When you are confident with your attire you will be confident with your own ability. Confident with yourself.

That’s all you need. Next step, breathing for presenters.
