From the Author
With several years experience of the corporate business world and the last seven spent focusing on image in business, it was clear that Walking TALL had to be written. I’ve written this book because I felt there was a need for a concise, easy-to-read and up-to-date guide to developing your own personal brand. My aim for Walking TALL was to encapsulate the key added impact elements of personal image and provide a process via which every individual can discover and develop their own unique personal brand and individualism, which in turn paves the way for greater exposure and personal success. It builds on the "branding you" theory so much talked about and provides self-evaluation exercises, tips and checklists that are easily understood and can realistically be put into action straight away. It is also intended as a book to be re-visited whenever necessary, to re-align or further enhance your personal brand. I do hope I’ve managed to inspire you firstly to read my book and then to put into action some of my tips for standing out from the crowd.

Image is Everything
I was fortunate to experience a day of Image Coaching from Lesley which was extremely valuable and good fun as well. I bought her book on the day, a signed copy, and it has been extremely useful in understanding where image plays a part in business. If you are in a customer facing job, be it sales, marketing, whatever, this book is a must have for you to understand how your image effects the way people treat you initially and , more importantly, how it effects your business success. over 90% of a person's first impression of you is based upon your image, how you dress and look and how you present yourself. Time to look in the mirror perhaps ?!!

This book will take you through the different stages of assessing your image and how it can be improved or massaged to positively enchance your presentation in front of clients or business associates - this book will help you move up the ladder, be more sucessful in your business dealings and above all increase your personal confidence - all of which is a huge aid to your development. The first thing I did after reading the book was to get stuck into my wardrobe and get rid of a dozen old ties, 3 shirts and 4 suits - all of which were either past it or the current look or just did not suit my colour scheme i.e. the colours that most suit and enchance me. You may be sceptical, but an investment in this book will help you change for the better - and perhaps change the way you look at yourself - and how others look at you.

A vital read for anyone at any stage in their business life
I found Lesley's book very stimulating, helpful and well structured. Before reading the book, I believed I had a good awareness of image and of its importance in making the right first impression in any business situation, which this book confirmed, but it has now given me a structured approach to significantly increase my image impact, with helpful hints, tips and exercises to help me make the additional changes I now know I need. Additionally it has also proved to be a good reference guide, so that I can keep revisiting the book to check on my progress towards the changes I want to make. Thoroughly recommended.
