While the overall relaxation of dress codes have given women the opportunity to show more of their personality in what they wear, it is also a minefield and an extra job. What to wear has become another thing to add to the ever-growing list of pressures on working women, a pressure that only increases the higher they climb.
My book launch was so much fun! It was a great way to celebrate with clients, business associates, and friends. Book sales profits of £618.29 were donated to Smartworks Charity. Ella Dodd, the West London Manager, came along to say a few words about the brilliant work that Smartworks does to help women back into work. Here are some photos of the evening.
The reviews have been flooding in for my book Look Like The Leader You Are… Can we make it to 50 by the end of the month?
The main intention of writing my new book was to highlight that your image, and how it affects your career progression, needs to be considered separately to fashion and shopping. Being aware of latest trends is always a benefit, but fashion and clothes is not actually the core theme of the book - even though it’s a style strategy!

WOW! About last night… Not only was it an epic, nail-biting night for English football, but it was also the party to celebrate the launch of my new book Look Like The Leader You Are; A 7 Step Strategy For Ambitious Women. I am so thrilled that both were such a success!
Identifying what to do with the items within your wardrobe is only half the battle – setting an action plan to make sure you have completed the job is a whole other story.
Creating mood boards is one of the first steps of my process. Pulling pictures of things you really love, without thinking too much about why, means you tap into your subconscious aesthetic preferences and begin to find your real personal style.
