You don’t need a $5,000 suit to make a $5,000 impression. You need intention.

Whether you’re walking into a boardroom, stepping onto a stage, or leading a high-stakes conversation, your appearance speaks before you do. This might be an unpopular opinion, but in leadership, every detail counts.

Here’s how to show up with presence — not just polish:

✅ Dress +1
For major presentations, elevate your look one notch above your audience. It’s not about outdressing — it’s about signaling respect, readiness, and relevance.

✅ Fit > Price
Clothes don’t need to be expensive. They need to fit well. A tailored $200 blazer will outperform a sloppy $2,000 one every time.

✅ Modern & Memorable
Strive for a look that’s relevant, not necessarily trendy. Relevance will get you remembered — not just seen.

✅ Mind the Details
Know basic dining etiquette. Be intentional with body language.

✅ Market YOU
Visibility isn’t vanity — it’s strategy. Develop an action plan to raise your professional profile. You are your own brand. Own it.

Your appearance should reflect your values, your voice, and your vision. Make it count — and make it unmistakably you.
