Review: This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to get ahead in their career. If you are skeptical about the importance of personal branding and the power of first impressions, this book will win you over. Not only does it make a solid case for investing time and effort in your appearance, your voice, your manner and your communication skills, it gives you practical advice about how to do this in a way that is authentic. Author Sylvia Ann Hewitt's arguments are backed up by research and underpinned by the many real life examples littered throughout the book. I especially like the way Hewitt shares her personal journey from innocent mistakes made in the past to the Executive Presence she has now.

Review: This book is dull! And border line useless. It is simply a long list of anecdotes dressed as great insights. The fact that the current CEO of BP did not break eye contact when interviewed by some CNN bloke is no insight to me. If you are the kind of reader to whom an endless list of repetitive "real life" anecdotes is sufficiently convincing, then this book is for you. If you are after substance, hard facts, theories that have a solid intellectual basis, this book is enough to stop you buying business books forever. Why would you buy a book that has phrases like "we all recognise a leader when we see one", or that uses the aforementioned example in every chapter? The only positive is that it has a framework that can actually be useful. For instance, it says that presence is a combination of appearance (and yes, it warns young women not to turn up to interviews in mini skirts and low cleavage!!!!!!), communication and gravitas. Then it breaks each in roughly 6 dimensions. No solid definition is given to any of the dimensions, no proof why they should be there aside from a survey by the author's thinktank (heavily publicised throughout the book), and no guidelines as to how to develop them. It just backs up the framework with, and you guessed it, a long list of anecdotes. Most of which are just interpretation of events to suite the story. After the first 61 pages, I decided to create a mind map with the framework headers then leave the book in my local charity shop.
