with someone, or an organisation, that is true to his or her own self-image, even if this is at odds with their own. Being who you are, and adhering to that standard irrespective of how others perceive you, is the only way to form a unique and positive long-term relationship with those people whom you come into contact in your work and business environment.

Self-image covers such a wide range of issues that relate to us as individuals, such as who we are, where we want to go and how others perceive us; indeed it also relates to how we want to be perceived by others. As has been shown, self-image has a physical and psychological aspect, either of which can adversely affect our situation in work or business. However, we can change the adverse aspects of our self-image and make them into positives and it is important for the success of business and careers that we create, both within ourselves and externally, a self-image that positively draws others towards us rather than pushes them away. All it takes is a little discipline and training. Individually, we are as good and as capable as the next person. We each have the same positive and negative issues to deal with as those we consider better in business than us and those we consider worse. It is how we mould our own internal self-image, and the one that we project to others, that will make the difference. A positive self-image will be perceived and responded to positively and that is the art that is needed to achieve our successful objectives in work and business.
