Help, I look like a workplace failure
Work guru Catherine Kaputa has formulated a five-point plan for salvaging your looks and achieving success:
1 Package yourself: clothes will not help you perform but will help how your performance is perceived
2 Emphasise features: be confident about your looks and build a strong image
3 Have a trademark: think Bono's shades or Sir Robin Day's bow ties. Stand out from the crowd
4 Focus on "soft power": use your values, style and point of view to attract others to you. Stand tall, and never slouch
5 Hone your speech: the ability to sell yourself and your ideas is critical
