Design Your Own Dress Code™
That’s right. Dull and boring dress codes are a thing of the past for most of us and this is a new freedom that we should not squander.
You now have the ability to decide within business parameters what to wear and how to wear it systematically with your body shape, natural coloring, and you have a range of items to wear that are considered on the spectrum of professional style. The days of wearing dark suits and white shirts have long gone unless you are in a career with strict guidelines. If not, the world is your style oyster that is if you know your options within the 5 levels of work dress codes.
Your Net Worth starts with a network
I know that many people find networking daunting and frightening at times. So many of us can relate to this. Truth is, your talent should be able to speak for itself. Well in many work environments, it is nearly impossible for managers and leaders to know every positive thing you do in your role without you showcasing them. Network in your company or at social networking events to draw the right attention to your ability to serve others with your KSAs that creates win-win results.
Digital Presence
Video conferencing has been around for decades, but it has become a mainstay regular action for the everyday person and now for business professionals due to the recent pandemic. These mostly visual platforms are more about appearance than ever before. I know we think that working from home doesn’t require any effort when it comes to appearance, what you wear, how you sound, etiquette, and so on, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. This enlightening class will quickly change your perspective on the new normal of “working virtually” from home.

Colors that Suit You for Business
I realize that many of us have been conditioned to believe that professional style is a black, white, and gray topic; however, we are not stars in a “black and white move” and therefore injecting color into your life and professional wardrobe is a great tool to use in your favor to show confidence and to help you separate yourself from the competition. For the record, wearing the right colors that naturally flow with your organic coloring can add youthful, energetic, and radiating confidence that helps to boost influence with others.
Business Etiquette
Manners and civility are never off the table when we are in touch with others. How we speak, listen, and talk to others is important in today's business environment, especially where emotional work is high.
When it comes to etiquette at work, various types come to mind: dining, meeting, airport-travel, international, social etiquette, and more.
