Overweight? Forget being a CEO.First impressions do count, right? For most of us two of our biggest anxieties in life are waistlines and career. If your career is going nowhere and it has come to a standstill it may be because of your weight. In fact, The Wall Street Journal has gone out on a limb and said “staying trim is now virtually required for anyone on track for the corner office.” People have negative stereotypes about the overweight, and think that a lack of health or stamina will negatively impact performance. Unfortunately, if you meet someone for the first time and they are overweight you may associate characteristics of laziness and a lack of discipline. In the workplace these traits just don’t cut it. Unfortunately, initial observations may be unfair however it may also hinder your chances for career progression.
