YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION.
You have 1/10th of One Second to make it.
That. Is. All.
That is a pretty tall order when your first impression a profile photo.
You know what else?
Out of that first impression, TRUSTWORTHINESS is the trait that is most highly correlated with a first impression.
Let's talk about headshots, shall we?
What does your current headshot convey about you?
-
Friendly?
-
Competent?
-
Trustworthy?
-
Intelligent?
-
Approachable?
-
Fun?
Does it sync with what you want people to think about your business or you as a professional?
Let's face it. We grow and we change, both physically and professionally. That is a great thing!!! And with that comes the task of keeping your image current. So, that headshot you had made a couple years ago (as fabulous as it is!) just may not quite fit with where you are today. The general rule of thumb is, at the very least, to have your headshot updated every two years. But, if you have rebranded or perhaps had some physical changes (such as a new hairstyle or maybe you grew a beard), it is probably time to hit the refresh button on your first impression.
It is probably time for a new headshot.
So Now What?
