Glamourous headshots

December 29, 2008

I’ll be speaking at the Asia Business Forum in April next year and was given the choice to speak on “Branding using Twitter” or “Adapting business practices to harness interactive technology and stay ahead of changing markets”.

I chose to go with the latter, especially in light of the impending recession. I felt I would be able to address the audience on how to best utilize technology to overcome reductions in marketing budgets.

I was requested to send in some portrait pictures, and I sure didn’t want to send in passport mugshots, or anything that would remotely associate me with being a jailbird. So here’s a result of my creative wife’s skill.

So, what do you think? Top option or bottom one? :) Yeah, guys are entitled to be a little egotistical and full of themselves at times!

    First one definitely. The second one with your teeth showing like that reminds a little to me of a chipmunk. A cute one ;)

    Anyway, all the best at the Business Forum. Where’s it gonna be at?

    Hrmmm, never quite thought of it that way… but now that you mention it, I think I LIKE chipmunks. :) Well, I’ve gotten a number of votes offline, and it seems to point in favour of numero uno.

    Hokay, we’ll bury the chipmunk.

    The first one. As a speaker you’ll need to come across as approachable and the first one does that better.

    Although, the second one does a good job of showing any female in the audience that you’re married, lol.

    Love the maroon colour in both.
