Looking junior impacts how seriously you are taken.

But yeah, but that's what she is, she's a gold digger.

She's a gold digger.

It impacts your negotiating power and therefore it impacts your ability to develop your business.

I'm so out, I'm so out, so out, so out.

I used to work as a lawyer on the Champs-Elysées in Paris

and I've grown up spending my summers in my grandparents' chateau in the south of France.

Today, I help female entrepreneurs dress better so they can stop being underestimated.

In this video, you're going to learn seven dressing mistakes

that make you look more junior and how to correct them so you can be taken more seriously.

And the first mistake is to wear a fully professional look.

When you started your business,

you might have thought that going full-on professional look was the best way to be taken seriously by your customers.

Looking professional might have gotten you some credibility at your corporate job,

especially if you were at the beginning of your career.

But today, as a business owner,

you need to show that you lead, not just execute.

This fully professional look conveys much more that you are following orders rather than giving them.

And the reason is that it's very bland.

It's very classic and there is not much personality or leadership that transpires from a fully professional look.

Leadership is more bold, it's more confident, it's more individual.

The more professional you look,

the more worker be you're going to look to your customer,

unless you are a lawyer or an accountant.

Even then, I'm sure you would rather convey that you are a bold leader,

lawyer or accountant, rather than a classic one.

Looking very professional also conveys that you need to prove that you're competent and serious.

And who needs to prove that they're competent and serious?

Juniors.

When you're established, it's not something that you doubt,

and it's not something that you believe others doubt either.

Therefore, you don't feel the need to dress fully professional because your authority is already established.

What you need instead is a professional look that also conveys your personality and leadership style.

The easiest way to do that is to have a classic professional base

and have accessories or colors like I'm doing right here

or shoes that convey your personality and that have a bit more of a statement.

If your whole outfit says professional,

it's not going to say much about you,

it's going to look boring.

But if your outfit looks professional with a tweak,

with a bold statement, then you're going to look professional but also confident and you're going to appear as somebody with leadership.

That's going to make a big difference in how you are perceived by customers and potential business partners.

Everybody wants to work with someone who is ahead of the curve.

and by dressing in a way that is different and expresses your personality,

you show that you are that person.

Second mistake that makes you look junior is that you're wearing the wrong makeup.

Either no makeup at all, either too heavy makeup.

If you're not wearing any makeup at all,

obviously if you already look junior,

you're going to look even more junior.

But at the opposite of the spectrum,

a too heavy makeup in the attempt of making you look older

is actually going to make you look tacky and a bit out of place.

The reason why it looks tacky is because when you wear a lot of makeup,

you're conveying subconsciously the idea that you're insecure about yourself because you need to hide your real complexion,

your real lashes, under a lot of product.

If you naturally look young,

it's going to make you look even more that you're trying to compensate and that you're trying to look older,

therefore that you're insecure about looking young.

A lot of makeup can also make you look like you are sexually available,

which is probably not your first intent.

Instead, what you should be aiming at is a no makeup makeup look.

The makeup is going to make you look older because simply enhancing your features is going to age you a little bit,

but it's not going to make you look like you're trying to look older.

And that's a very important difference.

The reason why this makeup is perfect is because its objective is simply to make you look better.

Not to make you look younger,

it's not to make you look older or sexier,

it's simply to enhance your natural features.

And somebody who enhances her natural features is somebody who is confident,

regardless of her age or the age people think she is.

I have a lot of customers who do look younger and it's always the makeup that I recommend.

At the beginning it might feel a bit intimidating because it's a makeup that makes you look like you're almost wearing nothing,

but it's a makeup that is going to make you be taken seriously in an instant.

The third dressing mistake that you might be making that makes you look more junior is wearing a backpack.

Because a backpack has a childish school connotation.

It also has a hard worker connotation with the idea of carrying heavy things on your back.

Looking mature and established is conveyed through ease.

And if you carry all your heavy things on your back,

you're not conveying that status and that ease.

The best alternative is to switch to a classic work bag.

Your backpack should have a classic shape,

be made of leather or vegetable leather,

be in a muted color,

and be obviously spacious enough to carry all your things.

It can be as big as it needs to be as soon as it meets the other criteria.

If you really, really need to wear a backpack for health reasons

and only in that case because it does really make a difference especially if you naturally look junior and young.

Pick a backpack that meets all of the criteria I just described.

Fourth mistake is wearing clothes that don't perfectly fit you because

if you look young and on top of it you wear clothes that don't fall perfectly on you,

subconsciously it brings to that idea of I'm wearing my big sister's clothes or I have outgrown my own clothes.

It also conveys that you haven't learned to dress properly yet,

which is something that also conveys junior instead of mature.

It also conveys that you don't have a very sharp attention to detail,

which is something that somebody more experienced and more established would definitely have.

And it's definitely the most important thing that you should have in mind

when you're meeting customers or investors or potential business partners in person.

Anything that is ill-fitting, regardless of how much you spent on it or the brand or the quality of the material,

100

is going to look bad.

101

It catches the eye negatively and creates some sort of uneasiness that you're not necessarily able to pinpoint,

102

but that is going to make you look much more scruffy and way less professional,

103

reliable and expensive

104

if you're wondering to what extent your appearance is impacting the

105

development of your business i have created an audit based on my experience

106

and hundreds of thousands of data points using ai to give you the exact number

107

that you are losing every month due to your presentation this audit is completely free and the link is in the description.

108

Fifth mistake, colorful nails.

109

I'm so sorry.

110

As fun and joyful as they may be,

111

colorful nails definitely make you look more junior because they're colorful.

112

They have a childish connotation because they are using the visual codes of cartoons,

113

of candy wrappers, of anything that you would see around children.

114

So if you already struggle with looking junior or being taken seriously in general,

115

colorful nails are unfortunately too ban.

116

You can definitely have fun with your nails for private events,

117

but professionally this decreases your authority by 3000.

118

The best option is a natural nude,

119

same color as your nail and basically very discreet.

120

Something to make you look like you take care of your nails,

121

but your nails are not the show.

122

If you love color

123

and color on your nails is one of the reasons why

124

you feel happy showing up for your business every day then pick a muted tone

125

and limit yourself to some kind of cherry red.

126

That is the only color that remains professional.

127

Simply be aware of the fact that it has a sexy connotation. So

128

if you're adding some red on your nails the rest of

129

the outfit should be extremely classic with no kind of sexy whatsoever.

130

Mistake number six, which might sound completely counterintuitive,

131

is wearing very high heels,

132

especially if they are pointy,

133

if the heel is thin,

134

and if they are above seven centimeters.

135

These heels are sexy, they convey a kind of dominating power

136

which clashes with somebody who naturally looks junior even more so

137

if you are short because then it shows

138

that you need those heels to feel at the same level as everybody else meaning

139

that you naturally don't feel

140

that you are at the same level as everybody else instead

141

it's the same logic as for the makeup wear heels

142

that a woman who is established would wear seven centimeters is the maximum height to still be classy elegant

143

and not sexy and seven centimeters is also what is the most flattering for the leg line past

144

that point it can look awkward unless you have a very specific type of leg

145

but as a matter of principle seven centimeters you know

146

that you're always safe regardless of your natural leg line rather go for a wider heel than a thinner heel

147

because a wider heel is not going to have as much of a sexy connotation

148

but it's still going to bring some femininity and some adult-ness into your appearance.

149

If you find high heels uncomfortable then choose rather heels

150

that are lower so four centimeters is still very comfortable you pretty much don't feel it

151

but it still adds that level of femininity professionalism and elegance to any outfit.

152

And finally, the seventh mistake is not a dressing mistake,

153

but I couldn't help if I didn't mention that.

154

And that is your behavior.

155

Oversmiling, too much eye contact,

156

high-pitched voice, upspeak, filler words.

157

You could be dressed in the most confident way humanly possible,

158

if you use those behaviors the magic would just break.

159

That is something I've been teaching my clients inside the Authority Vault,

160

which is my dressing program for women who are scaling towards their first million.

161

You might have learned that smiling is a great way of being welcoming,

162

of making people feel comfortable,

163

and that's probably something that you do a lot with your customers or your employees depending on where you are.

164

But smiling too much actually hurts your authority because somebody who smiles a lot is somebody who is eager to please.

165

If you want to convey confidence and authority,

166

you shouldn't look like you need to be liked.

167

Smiling should be reserved to the end of a sentence.

168

Same logic with eye contact.

169

A lot of eye contact shows that you are eager to please,

170

especially that deep eye contact.

171

A normal amount of eye contact is when I'm talking to you,

172

I am looking at you in the eyes,

173

but when I'm thinking or forming my thoughts,

174

I can look on the side and then get back to you.

175

Filler words are all the,

176

I think maybe it would be better,

177

that might just be me,

178

I might be wrong, but these are all words

179

that you should ban from your vocabulary because people assume competence based on the amount of certainty you convey when you speak.

180

That is the confidence of the white man.

181

So that is something we can definitely learn from men.

182

It is to speak with much more confidence even though inside we might not be a hundred percent sure.

183

Second to last is upspeak.

184

So that is when you speak like that and you end your sentences on a high.

185

If you make your statements sound like questions,

186

you do not sound confident and sure of yourself.

187

So combined with the fact that you naturally look junior,

188

you are thrown into the she's young,

189

she's fresh, she doesn't know what she's doing category.

190

And that obviously hurts your business.

191

And finally, the one that I have found to be the most impactful

192

and that you can put into practice in three seconds,

193

and that's something I've done with my clients inside the authority vault,

194

and the results are always immediate,

195

that is to lower your pitch.

196

Because if you speak like that,

197

you're not going to be taken as seriously as if you speak like that.

198

You should place your voice at the lower part of your range.

199

It doesn't mean going way too low,

200

because obviously it's going to sound awkward.

201

It should be just where your voice is comfortable.

202

You can find it by doing a simple mmmmm.

203

That's where you should place your voice.

204

If you run your business in a different language than your mother tongue,

205

then you might speak higher up in that second language,

206

especially if it's English.

207

So make sure to bring that lower voice placement into your business language as well.

208

Thank you for spending this time with me.

209

If you would like to know how your appearance is impacting your business,

210

I invite you to take the audit in the description and I will see you very happily in the next one.

A bientôt!
