I recently attended an instructor conference where one of the topics was instructor appearance. It was the presenter's assertion that the instructor should be the best dressed person in the room when giving a seminar or class. A nice pair of pants, a nice shirt and a tie at minimum.
I had always dressed casual for my classes and seminars. My thought process was that I didn't want to intimdate or make the students uncomfortable. I also didn't want to give the impression that I was "stuffy" or "out-of-touch" with the common electrician.
If you have ever been to one of Mike Holt's seminars, you know that he makes quite an impression and looks very professional and business like. I have considered upgrading my appearance for my next seminar but still unsure how it will come across.
If you were to attend an electrical seminar, how do you expect the instructor to look and dress. Would you be more impressed with a suit and tie or would jeans and a nice shirt be okay? Or does it not even matter?
