No matter who we are or what we do, we all want to be able to enter a room and make ourselves unforgettable. Appearance and technique definitely do play some role in being memorable — I mean, you’ll probably remember the guy in the old-timey hat with the funny pin more than the guy in the cotton dockers and white shirt — but if there isn’t real substance behind that appearance or technique, then the impression will only last so long.
