Business Casual Workshop
Taking the LAZY out of Business Casual - flipping perceptions upside down
Let’s face it; none of us want to have “that” talk with our employees. Who wants to hear what they are wearing to work isn’t appropriate, is distracting or limiting their job success.
In today's casual work environment, our office attire has gone beyond casual to downright lazy. Let me help you explain to your team why lazy isn't OK, how what they wear needs to match the image of the corporation and most importantly...what is OK to wear to work.

CEO Chick workshop
CEO Chick - all black suits are not created equal
What do men really think about what we wear to work? What about the team you lead?
In this powerful and frank workshop, you will learn how what you wear is your visual business card and can create team unity or team anxiety. Your clothing tells others how you want to be treated, shows the level of respect you have for your company and co-workers and influences other’s opinion about your ability. You will also become acutely aware how the dynamics between men and women in the workplace really play out. Yes ladies, men really don't think the way we do (and I'll share the science behind my thoughts).
Some of the elements detailed in ROCK! What You’ve Got will be covered in this workshop.
Be seen for the professional you are!

Your Visual Business Card workshop
Your Visual Business Card - what are your clothes saying?
How can you perfect your visual business card? For business minded women, we spend a lot of time juggling life/work, focusing on our business and paying attention to our craft…but did you know most of your client’s buying decision have to do with how you dress?
Your clothing is a way to mold other’s impressions of you, your skills and abilities. Research shows your appearance strongly influences other people's perception of your financial success, authority, trustworthiness, intelligence, and suitability for hire on a project or promotion. In other words, looking the part takes you 55% closer to getting the job.
You will learn how to keep your image current (showing relevance of your skills in the marketplace), feeling your best
(increasing confidence), hiding 'ruffles' (extra weight), proper fit (feeling your best from the inside out), and best colors.
