Dressing for Power, Presence, and Professional Growth
April 24th
6-8pm

Clothing is about more than aesthetics—it’s also a tool for empowerment. Research shows that what we wear influences our mindset, confidence and even how others perceive us in the workplace. As women continue to break barriers across industries, our attire can serve as both armor and a statement of authenticity. This talk will explore the behavioral and professional impact of clothing, offering insights on how to harness fashion as a confidence booster in the workplace.
After the workshop, all guests will have the opportunity to work directly with an M.M.LaFleur stylist to unlock their own confidence through the power of personal styling.
