What value would you place on a workforce that consistently brings their A-game, not just in their work, but in how they present themselves?

Imagine your employees walking into every meeting exuding confidence, commanding respect, and instantly elevating your company’s reputation. Picture clients and partners consistently impressed by your team’s polished, professional appearance, leading to stronger relationships and bigger deals.

What would it mean for your bottom line if your employees’ appearance alone helped close more sales, secure larger contracts, or attract high-caliber talent to your organization?

Now, I’m not talking about a superficial makeover. I’m talking about a strategic investment in your team’s professional presence that directly impacts your company’s success.

Consider this:

• Studies show that well-dressed employees are perceived as more competent and trustworthy, leading to increased client confidence.
• Teams with a strong, cohesive professional image report higher levels of productivity and job satisfaction.
• Companies known for their polished workforce often become industry trendsetters, attracting top talent and premium clients.

The impact of this investment goes far beyond clothing. It’s about empowering your team with the tools and confidence to represent your brand at the highest level.

So, I ask you: Can you afford not to invest in your team’s professional image?

What we’re offering isn’t a cost – it’s an investment in your company’s future. An investment that pays dividends in increased revenue, larger deals, more clients, and a reputation for excellence that precedes you in every business interaction.

Imagine hearing clients say, ‘Your team always brings their A-game!’ That’s the power of a strategically crafted professional image.

Now, let me show you how we can make this vision a reality for your organization.

We help your organization unlock its full potential through strategic personal branding and professional image.

We’ve all experienced the power of feeling confident in what we’re wearing. It’s not about following trends or spending a fortune – it’s about understanding how to leverage your personal style to project competence, authority, and approachability. In today’s competitive business landscape, this can make all the difference in closing deals, attracting top talent, representing your company and making more money.

Our programs are designed to empower your employees to make smart choices about their professional image, aligned with your company culture and their individual roles. We’re not here to dictate a uniform or push people back into uncomfortable suits. Instead, we provide the tools and knowledge to navigate today’s often more casual workplace while still maintaining a polished, professional presence.

Research shows that employees who feel confident in their appearance are more productive, engaged, and likely to take on leadership roles. By investing in your team’s professional image, you’re investing in their success and your company’s success.

We offer customizable packages tailored to your organization’s specific needs and goals. Whether it’s through speaking to your employees or our comprehensive digital course, The Executive Style Masterclass, we can create a solution that fits your budget and delivers measurable results. 

We also offer the opportunity to bring this experience to life for your employees through a curated in-store event. Imagine hosting an exclusive evening at a boutique of your choice, where your team can network, learn, and actively build their professional wardrobes.

During this event, we’ll provide a dynamic presentation on creating a versatile core work wardrobe and demonstrate the art of mixing and matching key pieces. Your employees will have the chance to apply what they’ve learned during our speech, getting hands-on experience in selecting items that align with their professional goals and your company culture.

This immersive experience not only reinforces the principles we’ve discussed but also fosters team bonding in a fresh, engaging environment. It’s a unique way to invest in your employees’ professional development while providing a fun, memorable evening.

We can work with you to select a venue that fits your company’s style and budget. We’ll handle all the details, from coordinating with the store to providing personalized styling advice during the event.

This in-store experience has been a hit with other corporations, boosting morale and giving employees the confidence to elevate their professional presence. It’s a tangible way to show your commitment to your team’s success and well-being.

Don’t have time to plan an outside office event? No problem! We can bring the work wardrobe solutions directly to you, offering a convenient and time-efficient option that respects your team’s busy schedules.

We’ve partnered with an exceptional Made-To-Measure brand that provides high-quality, customizable workwear at accessible price points. 

Here’s how it works:

We’ll reserve one of your conference rooms for a day, transforming it into a pop-up custom work wardrobe studio. Your employees can book time slots that fit seamlessly into their workday, ensuring minimal disruption to their schedules.

During their appointment, they’ll have access to:

• An extensive fabric line featuring over 500 options
• A curated range of sample outfits for try-ons and inspiration
• A diverse array of buttons, linings, and customization choices
• A skilled master tailor ready to take precise measurements

The result? Perfectly fitted, professional attire tailored to each individual’s unique shape, coloring, and aesthetic preferences. This service offers the polish and fit of high-end workwear, but at a price point that won’t break the bank.

This in-office experience not only saves time and reduces stress for your employees, but it also demonstrates your commitment to their professional development and well-being. It’s an investment in their confidence and your company’s image, all wrapped up in a convenient, personalized package.

Imagine a workforce that exudes confidence, commands respect in client meetings, and represents your brand impeccably at industry events. That’s the transformation we can help you achieve.

What happens when your employees don’t dress the part or dress too casually?

• Diminished credibility: When employees don’t dress the part, it can undermine their credibility in client meetings, presentations, and negotiations. This can lead to lost business opportunities, lower revenue and reduced trust from partners and stakeholders.
• Misaligned brand representation: Employees are walking ambassadors for your company. If their appearance doesn’t align with your brand image, it can confuse clients and damage your company’s reputation.
• Reduced productivity: Studies have shown that how we dress affects how we perform. Employees who dress too casually may unconsciously adopt a more relaxed attitude towards their work, impacting productivity and focus.
• Missed leadership opportunities: Employees who don’t present themselves professionally may be overlooked for leadership roles or important projects, regardless of their actual capabilities.
• Workplace distractions: Inappropriate or overly casual attire can be distracting in the workplace, leading to decreased focus and productivity among team members.
• Difficulty transitioning between settings: In roles that require moving between casual and formal settings (e.g., from office to client meetings), employees who don’t have a versatile professional wardrobe may struggle to adapt quickly and appropriately.
• Lowered self-confidence: Employees who aren’t dressed appropriately for their role may feel less confident, which can negatively impact their performance and willingness to take on challenges or speak up in meetings.
• Perception of unprofessionalism: Clients, partners, and even colleagues may perceive poorly dressed employees as unprofessional or unprepared, regardless of their actual skills or dedication.
• Missed networking opportunities: At industry events or conferences, employees who aren’t dressed appropriately may be taken less seriously, potentially missing out on valuable networking and business development opportunities.
• Negative impact on company culture: If dressing inappropriately becomes widespread, it can contribute to a general decline in professional standards within the company culture.

Keep in mind:

1. Fashion is not frivolous – it’s a strategic tool for professional success
2. This is not about dictating what people to wear to work, but giving them a tool & information to do with it what they wish
3. We understand and embrace the more casual workplace, while helping employees navigate appropriate professional dress
4. This is an investment in employee confidence, productivity, and the company’s bottom line

Our eye-opening presentations are meant to set your employees/group members up for success by utilizing the power they have in crafting their visual brand and using their wardrobe as a tool to achieve their goals. Our presentations are about so much more than fashion. We explain the science behind dressing and how your visual presentation affects not only your mindset, but also those you interact with.

Attendees gain crucial knowledge regarding how to control the narrative & use their wardrobe as a platform to tell their story. We are here to ensure your employees/members feel like their most confident, strong and powerful selves. What you wear affects your performance at work. Harnessing the power of visual branding will lead to increased productivity and happiness as well as reaching their potential. We have worked with companies and groups such as NASDAQ, Davis Polk, Schulte Roth & Zabel, The New York Junior League, The Tuckahoe Women’s Club, The College of William & Mary, Women In EDiscovery and more.

Topics we cover during the speech:

• Visual branding 
• How what you wear can affect you as well as your business financially, emotionally & physically 
• How to use your wardrobe as a tool to achieve your goals
• Enclothed cognition – how what you wear affects your mindset as well as those interacting with you
• Fashion diplomacy – sending messages through your clothing used by politicians & royals 

Examples of groups we could speak to at your company:

• New hires at orientation

• Affinity or Employee Resource Groups

Feedback:

• “The iconic Style That Binds Us mother-daughter duo recently came to the company I work for as part of an Empowerment & Wellness event our Women’s Committee was hosting. Not only did they come equipped with valuable knowledge to share with us, but their energy was infectious and the storytelling throughout the presentation made it memorable with immediately actionable insights. Alison & Delia came with a well thought out and easy to follow presentation, so no matter what the knowledge level in the room, the information was accessible to all. Following the prepared portion, we opened the floor up to Q&A, which was arguably the group’s favorite part. Alison & Delia’s years of industry knowledge really shined when they were asked specific questions and on the spot were able to tailor remarks to the person asking them. In just a few short minutes, I learned that the texture of your hair can influence if you should wear pattern or not, the size / shape of your eyes can point to which earrings would suit you best, and your height can help narrow down a decision on round or pointy shoes. We are so thankful to the duo for enriching our fashion knowledge! Excited to continue the partnership and hopefully do an in-store event soon.” -Sara Sotirov Analyst, Private Wealth Solutions at Blackstone
