Speaker 1: States for Service and the AD Council. Good morning, This

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: is Laura. Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: where we share strategies for thriving in the new world

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: of work, where location and hours are more flexible than

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: in the past. Today's tip is to invest in good

39
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: head shots. When you're working from home, you are generally

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: seeing fewer people in person. People are more likely to

41
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: get to know what you look like from your photos.

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: So you want to be sure that your photos are

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: conveying the right impression. When I got a contract from

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: my first book a great many years ago, I realized

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: that I needed some author photos that I was happy with.

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: I worked with a photographer who took lots of shots

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: in Central Park, and I wore some outfits that said

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: author to me. Probably it was a little silly, but

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: I liked having the photos available for publicity. Over the years,

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: I've taken advantage of any opportunity to get new head

51
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: shots taken. Several conferences I've attended have had makeup artists

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: and photographers available, and paying for their services has seemed

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: like a great bargain. That's because these days, we tend

54
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: to know people from their pictures. Whenever I'm a guest

55
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: on a podcast, the show tends to ask for a

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: head shot to use on social media. When I'm giving

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: a speech, the event distributes my head shot as part

58
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: of publicity. Your LinkedIn profile should have a head shot.

59
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: Your website needs a good head shot. Remote workers will

60
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: often be using their head shots, and so these head

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: shots should be good. Now, good means several things. First,

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: higher a pro Yes, you can take photos with your phone.

63
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: But you know all those gorgeous influencer types on Instagram.

64
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed how their entire families are all

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: in the photos and the influencers themselves are always in

66
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: the photos. Well, that's because they've got pros taking these pictures.

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: It really does matter. They know what they're doing with

68
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: lighting and composition, and they have better equipment. Now consider

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: getting your hair and makeup professionally done too. My current

70
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: head shot was taken outside and is perhaps a wee

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: bit edited to make me look better, but you can

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: achieve the same result by hiring a makeup pro. These

73
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: folks know how to make you look like yourself, just

74
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 1: a little more rested and healthy. And finally, think about

75
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: the image that you are conveying. Yes, it's just your

76
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: head and shoulders, but there's more to it than that.

77
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: What are you wearing casual clothes, say something different from

78
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: a suit. An outdoor shot with trees and leaves in

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: the background creates a different impression than one taken inside.

80
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: You might consider having multiple shots taken, with some involving

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: your tools of the trade if your trade happens to

82
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: involve photogenetic tools, and consider your expression. I like to

83
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: come across as friendly and approachable. But maybe it's better

84
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: for your national brand to be glamorous or to look

85
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: insightful or dreamy or authoritative. You know best, but make

86
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: sure the decision is conscious. Then pro tip, get the

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: digital file and save it with a name that means

88
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: it comes up quickly when you're attaching files to emails.

89
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: I put an underscore and then Laura vander cam Hirez.

90
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Given that it's one of the most common things people

91
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: ask for, there's no need to scroll all the way

92
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: down to my name in the file section to include it.

93
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: So if you're relying on an iPhone shot or one

94
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: of those boring corporate photos that your organization took of everyone,

95
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: consider getting some better headshots taken. It's not cheap necessarily,

96
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: but it's probably not terribly expensive either. And if one

97
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: person thinks that you look great to work with, well,

98
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: that might be a good investment. You might even start

99
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: taking yourself more seriously because hey, you can see that

100
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: you look pretty confident and good. In the meantime, this

101
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: is Laura, thanks for listening, and here's the succeeding in
