Let’s say that you are invited to a meeting, and you want to know who are the people that will be joining. It would be funny if all the pictures were of animals, nature, cartoons… but in the end, it would not help you. 

A professional picture has a huge impact in someone’s first impression. It doesn’t have to be boring, of course, but it must show who you are, like a brand.

When it comes to having your picture in the organizational charts, or your google email, the keyword here is PROFESSIONAL. It should be a portrait of you, and not pets, children or objects (let’s save those for other social networks). Take off your mask and show the company your big smile!

To sum up, the photo should be of you and only you, as you would come to work. And remember, it’s available for everyone at the company to see.
