Book Description
What are you saying before you speak a word? Does your nonverbal communication limit your effectiveness? In this enlightening guidebook, Sherry Maysonave shows you precisely how to commnad respect, inspire trust, and project personal power when you dress down for business. She emphasizes the silent but potent - nonverbal aspects of clothing, demeanor, and body language. She reveals how nonverbal factors determine the responsse you receive from others factors that impact your ability to maximize success.
Sheery Maysonave puts an end to the confusion that surrounds casual attire in the workplace and social invitations requesting casual dress. In this groundbreaking book, she decodes the confusing catchall term "casual." For varied occasions, Sherry explains and clarifies two primary questions: 1) How dressed down is too casual? 2) How dressed up is not casual enough?
Using fascinating case studies, Sherry exposes the personal saboteur that works behind the scenes to undermine success. Personifying this conniving part of the human psyche, she introduces McSly, a friendly monster that seduces you into making choices that can disempower you. Sherry and McSly use real-life situations to show you exactly what casual apparel and what nonverbal communications sabotage or empower you and your career goals.
Sherry gives you key strategies for powering up your nonverbal communications and for taking control of your image. Using her expert tips, you can dress down with flair and confidence. Sherry's painless shopping strategies show you how to quickly examine clothing store inventories to find those garments that are empowering to you. Her secrets on creating wardrobe miracles are refreshing and exciting.
Sherry Maysonave brings needed clarity, sophistication, and wit to all dress-down issues in today's workplace.

Things my mother tried to tell me........2006-09-23
As a former clothing buyer spending all of my work time selecting, presenting, and advertising the latest fashions I now wish I had Sherry's book to impress upon me personally how very important MY dress was to my success. She has impressed me with her convincing argument that although what you say is important, how you say it via dress is about 55% of that impression. I loved her real life, before and after stories which has left me paying much more attention to my new leisure image. Thanks Sherry!
Excellent.......2006-05-19
I re-read this book again and realized how lazy I had gotten on my dress. I went through my closet again and anything that did not wow me, I through out. The last couple of months I have followed the guidelines of this book and have been amazed the way I am treated differently at work. My boss now includes me on meetings, that I never attended before and has given me a lot more responsibility. I went from sundresses and sandals to a much more professional dress and the results have been amazing.
Thank you for this book, it has changed my life.
Dress for Success.......2005-07-19
With "Business Casual" being the norm now in what to wear to the office, this book is great at giving you insight on how to dress for success at the workplace in a business casual environment. Filled with lots of helpful tips and how to "get noticed" at work by those who matter!!
Very interesting to put to the test.......2005-05-20
I'm more of a "tomboy," who like to dress comfortably and casually. I work for a corporation that allows this and have worn cargo shorts, short sleeved shirts, and other very casual attire to the workplace.
When my company went through a shakeup (that eventually resulted with many employees being cut), I started to implement much of the advice from this book. Suddenly, though I had always been overlooked, I was noticed by management and was actually asked to apply for a more senior position.
In response to the person who says that a person in a low-level position can't benefit from _Casual Power_, I would say that it is not true. I'm in a completely entry-level position at a customer-service oriented phone call center. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, almost 2 million workers in America have a similar position. How are you going to stand out if you are one of these 2 million? Despite my entry-level income, I was able to afford better clothing at discount stores such as Target or by shopping online.
In addition, this book even has advice as to how to "power up" your look if you're stuck in a "work uniform" such as those worn in fast food or retail locations. It is for people at all levels in the work force.
BUY THIS TODAY!.......2004-05-12
From Joe Catal. Author of the book "Telesales Tips From The Trenches". As a national sales trainer, this book is a must for anyone who wants to get ahead at the job and their career. The majority of sales people I train don't realize how they're destroying their own success by the way they dress. This book will teach you exactly what you need to learn to have the image you want/need to succeed. One of the best books I've ever read in my life. Get it, you won't be disappointed.
Joe Catal.
P.S. Be prepared to be beat up a little. This isn't a cutsy book. It's rough and to the point. I loved it!

ABC's.......2000-04-06
This book was very easy to read and very informative. Like many of theses "selling" books the aucthor had the problem of over simplyfing several issues, however I still learned alot. I can honestly say, I am a much better and more confident sellsman today because of this book, which I guess was its purpose.

Decent Book for the Novice.......2001-03-08
Ok this is a very useful, detailed guide. If you are new at looking for employment with the FEDS this guide is for you. It's very easy to read, well put together and all the information is there on one book. If you are already familiar on how to look for federal employment, know where to go and how to apply, this book could be somewhat useful. In my case I was looking for something that could have tips on improving my chances withing the federal system, unfortunately there are not real tips, just factual information. There is some room for improvement.

Never forgets faith mandate in making financial choices.......2004-02-03
Mission Possible: An Investment Guide For Christians by finance and securities expert Stephen Hammond is a very practical and "reader friendly" resource written especially for strictly faithful Christians seeking to wisely invest and manage their money. Written for readers who do not necessarily have much experience with finance, Mission Possible covers the basics of budgeting and savings, asset allocation and diversification, stock selection, when to sell, technical analysis/reading charts, and much more. Extremely practical advice, such as why one must never enter a stop-loss order (if one leaves standing instructions to sell a $27 stock at $23, those entrusted with one's portfolio have been known to deliberately run down the price during a normal day and liquidate the stock, so that when the stock fluctuates back to its regular price the person with the stop-loss order is bilked) packs this wise, no-nonsense guide, which also never forgets the mandates of faith in making financial choices.
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW.......2003-12-01
There are very few books on investment that I have found interesting enough to read entirely through. I am happy to say this one I did.
The author writes in a concise easy to understand way, giving Biblical principals and solid advice to follow concerning our financial affairs.
I like the way he explains the meaning of the Scriptures that relate to our finances and brings to light the unscriptural fallacy, that many Christians believe, of money just falling from Heaven into their hands. Oh, if it were only true!
He explains our role in producing financial gain as a child of God, our responsibilities before God for what He has given to us, and our responsibility to His Kingdom and His people.
He includes many pointers for the investors, giving examples and explaining the why's and how's of the financial world. You will find this information invaluable!
I like the use of visual aid that he presents with his charts and graphs. These bring to life the words he is saying! Very good job!
Definitely recommended for believer and non-believer alike, who would like a better understanding of the financial world and how to achieve advancement in their own finances.
Highly recommended!
Mission Possible: An Investment Guide for Christians.......2003-02-15
Mr. Hammond has captured many of the misconceptions christians have toward investment. This book should put investors at ease and guide them through the maze of investing with Biblical principals to back up every step. If people will search the scripture along with this book they can be about building wealth for the right reasons and glorify God in the process.
A must read book!.......2003-02-14
This book, "Mission Possible," has been a great guide and asset to our financial and life success. It is simple to read, understand and gives you step by step, "specific, time-tested instructions for moving from and impoverished and weak lifestyle to a wealthy and healthy lifestyle." This is what has happened in our life as a result of applying the principles and practices stated in Mr. Stephen Hammond's book "Mission Possible." We highly recommend this book to all who have a desire to gain wealth and live a life of financial freedom. God gives us the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) but how do you activate that power in your life? Read "Mission Possible" and you will find the answer!
Evangelists Paul & Vonda Hodge
God's directions for financial success.......2003-02-12
Well written. It provides sound biblical principles for obtaining and maintaining financial success. What is so different about this book is that it is based entirely on God's word. As christians we believe that for some unknown reason that God does not want us to financially prosper. As the book democstrates the exact opposite is true, God wants us to succeed at every level. The book shows how this is true and also how to make it happen.
