I like to wear much more colorful and "rebellious" clothing. I don't walk around with tattoo's, nose piercings or a mohawk though! @Luck - Hey mate thanks for the reflection. @Lucilla – That is me being very conservative.

That is the first thing I noticed about you in the picture. You establish credibility by how you present yourself to others. I live in Puerto Rico were appearances are everything. I only see woman in sweat suits and sneakers when they are doing exercise. Men and woman are always in dress suits in corporate offices. When you go to the bank branches, all the employees have the same uniform: Suits, Dress Suits, and Ties. I had one supervisor in the States tell me that I did not need to dress up because I was only going to be doing a customer service job. I stood out because I did not listen to her advice. I was chosen over my supervisor to represent the Customer Service Department when our Training Department decided they wanted our global customers to meet different employees through out the corporation.

Dan, you always move fast on this stuff...Gretchen only went public on this content in the last few days! I find working with older executives that this stuff is the hardest to coach, as they are simply too set in thier ways! however, as our Baby Boomers retire here in Australia, and the next Gen (my gen) come through and take up the helm, I believe on the whole we are more self aware, and more capable of developing these skills...so the soft skills wil become so much more relevant!
