Put your face to your name

First impressions count, right? Your headshot represents you, your brand.

It’s you telling the world, “This is me!”

When people ‘meet’ you online, your headshot is one of the first things they see. And they make an assumption about you straight away. It’s not the best way to judge someone, but we all do it. We’re only human, after all.

The right headshot photo can communicate your personality and values and help to position you as an expert in your field. Especially important if you’re looking to advance your career, or you want to be seen as a thought leader.

Do your online profiles look professional? Do you look confident and approachable? Genuine? Would people want to find out more about you, do business with you, invite you for a job interview…? Does your headshot let your personality shine through and show people who you are?

Your headshot should encourage people to get in touch with you, to help build trust and personal connections. You want them to notice you, not just scroll on by, don’t you?

So where can you use your headshot? Of course on Linkedin and all your social media profiles, but also on your website and blog; in presentations and marketing material; e-mail signatures; for speaking events and awards ceremonies; interviews, book covers, press articles...

A picture might be worth a thousand words; your headshot could be worth money, attracting attention and generating clicks.
