PRESENTED BY:
Solita Roberts, Style to Impact
Have you asked yourself, "What are people wearing these days?" What you wear can enhance your credibility, influence, and impact. What you wear speaks on your behalf, and while the objective may be to fit in or look nice, your primary goal should be to influence others so you can succeed. To do that, your image plays a big role in how you communicate, how confident you feel entering the room, and the type of opportunities and connections you seek.
In this session, Solita Roberts, founder and CEO of Style To Impact will guide you through an exercise in styling to empower you to leverage the power of your wardrobe.
