Body language and Partner to not thinking that you are past it is not looking past it. Image is key to remaining a viable member within a team if not holding on your hard earned management post. With age, some women become complacent and let their image slide from dynamo to mum to pensioner. While you don’t need to exhaust yourself keeping apace With seasonal fashion fads you do need to look senior or equal to colleagues, whichever is appropriate? It is no wonder that older workers begin to get sidelined From crucial meetings and enjoying the visibility and influence they deserve because of how they present themselves. Perhaps one of the key things you do as you age and want or need to remain employable is to revamp your image. Here are a few tips about ‘looking the part’, culled from over fifteen years of coaching women at work on presenting their best: Body language and One of Dr. David Week’s super young women noted That although she had more than her share of wrinkles she looked younger than contemporaries. She felt, because she dressed in a more up to date way. Along with looking the part is also acting the part. If some recent setbacks have dented your confidence, try not to convey your anxiety to others. Don’t be brushed aside.If you get sidelined from important meetings, protest and ensure you are included next time rather than grumbling. Insist that your issues get on the agenda but rethink their presentation to keep them fresh. Your views should be sharp, focused and not too opinionated (‘I think; I know; from where I sit, etc.,), Bite your tongue when new approaches are raised as your inclination to continue to do things as. We ve always done it. will make you appear older and set in your ways. Even though you might not agree, if consensus is to change Then heartily add ‘let’s give it a go for everyone to know that you will, indeed, be cooperative rather than co – opt their efforts. WATCH YOUR BODY LAUGUAGE Image and status and Don’t hold back in introducing yourself when you are assembled with people you don’t know, and the younger oafs don’t have the manners to introduce you or want to imply that you aren’t key player, rather an observer, Speak up, clearly and confidently, with these you need to influence. Don’t sneak tentatively into rooms. Instead walk tall, despite or because of, the incipient shrinkage underway, and hold your head up high. Your facial muscles have probably dropped so go into performance puss’, holding a positive smile and open eyes. Otherwise you will look like you are scowling. If taller, younger people try to intimidate you by talking down to you both literally and figuratively, suggest that you both sit down, now eye to eye, to discuss things. Hold eye contact for effective periods, even though you might not be listening to imply how captivated you are by what is being said, as younger colleagues are always desperate for an attentive audience and rarely get one! Inflexibility can be a consequence of ageing on many levels. As our arteries, joints, bladders, eyeballs and other physical components become less flexible, so often does our mindset. This is something we must fight against if we can’t win back peachy skin and perky breasts. Keep a nice soft hairstyle, since ‘hard’ hair implies an inflexible mindset, being set in your ways, a die – hard traditionalist, like the Queen. Sticking to the hairstyle you’ve had since your teen years can also be regarded as being inflexible, although it seems to have worked for fashion models Jerry Hall and Marie Helvin among others. With my image consultant hat on I’ve been dying to get my hands on Victoria’s long locks which, with few exceptions, she’s worn the same way since 1968. But she’s inflexible on that point! Image and status and the ability to be flexible is an important distinguishing feature in ‘hardy’ personalities, who can bend and twist around whatever life throws at them, or rise about it. Consider, for inspiration, hardy women of the past. The ‘Flying Duchess’ of Bedford took to the air at the age of sixty one, when she was advised that the constant buzzing in her ears, a legacy of typhoid she had contracted as a girl in India, would be helped by flying and at seventy two, flying solo disappeared into the sky in a grand exit. Image and status and Or one of the great early women explorers such as Evelyn Lucy Chessman who, unable to fulfill her ambition to become a veterinary surgeon, joined a scientific expedition traveling from the West Indies to the South Pacific when she was forty three in 1924, and later made many lone expeditions. Or Rosita Forbes, who crossed the Libyan Desert just after the First World War disguised as a Muslim and traveled from Kabul to Samarkand, India and South America. Where she made a solo flight of 14,000 miles, in her late forties.
