At a recent visit to Dress Your Best (DYB) I was reminded of the courage it takes to make positive life changes. There are periods in each of our lives when we want to create change, but how many of us have the courage to take the action steps necessary to develop this positive change. The clients at DYB are an inspiring group of people who remind me that change is possible and people can achieve everything they actively pursue.
For those who aren't familiar with DYB, it is a not-for-profit organization focused on outfitting men and women (many of whom are on social assistance) who are actively seeking employment and in need of appropriate business attire. After a lesson in how to dress appropriately for the corporate world, and discovering how fantastic they look in quality garments, the DYB clients leave with a smile on their face and their heads held high! They have taken courageous steps to learn the skills they need to succeed in the corporate world, and gained confidence in their self-presentation. After the DYB experience they finally feel ready to pursue their careers, and ace their interviews.
At times you may brush your appearance off as if it doesn't matter, perhaps you forget the cycle: when you look good, you feel good; when you feel good you emit genuine confidence; when you are confident people respect you; when people respect you, you feel good... you create and reinforce a positive cycle in your own life and, like the DYB clients, gain the confidence you need to create more positive change in your life.
