When the Mini Mogul Money Magnet, Vivian Olodun, Co-Founder & CEO of the Flourish Media Company shouts you out…😍

Sometimes on this entrepreneurial journey it can feel like you’re just yelling into the wind. 🗣️

It’s nice to be reminded that I’m not.

Thank you for sharing Vivian. I love my Flourish Media Tribe and am proud to be a member. 🌺💗

I just finished speaking to an amazing cohort of YWCA BIWOC Executive Leaders as part of The Culture Cru, alongside its amazing CEO, Alycia M. Huston

I truly love helping high-powered women show up in greater confidence and to step into the fullness of their authority. It's time to enter The Season of WOW!

You know it's going to be dynamic when current events (at the US House of Representatives) are among the topics of discussion ... (Whew!)

I'm looking forward to engaging with these phenomenal leaders again.

How much does appearance matter in the workplace?

I love the question. There is so much to unpack.

Short answer: A LOT!

As an Image Consultant, I understand the importance of owning (and managing) your professional image. It is impossible to divorce ourselves from 'perception' as it is rooted in large measure in our biological makeup.

A key thing to note is that we're always communicating something with our appearance, and others are always perceiving what we're communicating, even subconsciously. I am an advocate, for letting women decide exactly what that 'communication' looks like.

It's my job and my passion to help high-powered, high-profile women discover what that is and to execute that 'communication' for maximum impact to meet and exceed their business and personal goals.

💃🏾💼📈

PS. I'll be launching a free 5-Day Challenge in the coming weeks, where I'll dive deeper into this topic and share some impactful secrets on how to own and elevate your public image - ON YOUR TERMS!

Challenge details coming soon.

WHAT EXACTLY IS AN IMAGE CONSULTANT?

And what’s the difference between that and a PERSONAL STYLIST??

Depends on who you ask.

The better question is what can an Image Consultant do for YOU?

Well, short answer … A lot!

An IMAGE CONSULTANT focuses on clients’ OVERALL public image & not JUST their wardrobe, to include:

🎥 Professional Image assessment & development (leverages your skills, talent, looks, experience, etc.)

🎥 Professional Wardrobe (curates outfits specifically for each public event or media engagement; works collaboratively with hair stylists & MUAs to bolster your ENTIRE image.

🎥 Communication, Confidence, & Presence (works to improve your executive presence, public-speaking, non-verbal, & written communications skills)

🎥 Public event strategy (works with speechwriters, communications directors, other strategists to nail those public engagements).

🎥 Media engagement & strategy (works with communications directors, PR specialists, other strategists to craft an OVERALL media presence that is powerful and effective).

When hiring either an Image Consultant or a Personal Stylist, there is a lot on the line.

Knowing the difference, and hiring the RIGHT professional for what you need can mean the difference between winning that election, the seat on the board, or that multi-seven or eight figure contract or NOT.

It can mean a series of promotions, media engagements, or wins specific to your industry...or not.

This is not hyperbole. And my clients get results!

Fortunately for you, we offer packages for BOTH Image Consulting and/or Wardrobe Styling.

I work with Public Figures, Media-Facing Professionals, & High-Profile Corporate Execs to elevate, overhaul, and/or supercharge their overall public and professional image for maximum results in their industry.

And for most of my clients that INCLUDES their wardrobe.

DM or see bio link to schedule a call to learn how I can help you WIN more audiences and impact more lives.

You know you need it! 😉🎥💃🏽

FLASHBACK FRIDAY! Did you know I sing too?

When I see this video clip, I can’t help but laugh! 😂😂

Not just because of the insane fun my colleagues & I had performing our original songs at this event, but because of that “cold-shoulder” jumpsuit! 🤦🏽‍♀️ (Don’t judge. It was cute back then.)

All laughs aside, there are some great lessons behind this video too:

🎤 DO IT AFRAID! I have performed confidently in front of tens of thousands of people. But for some reason, sharing my original pieces in these small, intimate venues use to wrack my nerves. I did it anyway.

🎤 IT WON’T BE PERFECT. Roll with it.

🎤 BLACK ISN’T ALWAYS YOUR FRIEND. Especially when stage lights are involved.

🎤 SHAPEWEAR. It has come a long way baby.

🎤BE IN THE MOMENT. Every experience is an opportunity to live life to the fullest & to learn, even from your mistakes. Just enjoy the ride.

Stay happy. Stay focused. And stay tuned to hear more about my new & upcoming masterclass series for public figures, media facing professionals, and high-profile executives:

“The POWER of COLOR: A Masterclass in Professional Style”.

More to come….(I’m so excited!)

Have a fantastic weekend! ♥️

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK ...- If you think you look fat in those pants, you do.- If you think your presentation will fall ...
10/19/2023

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK ...

- If you think you look fat in those pants, you do.
- If you think your presentation will fall flat, it will.
- If you think you aren't going to get, win, or achieve that goal you're working toward - you WON'T.

We've all heard that "As a man (woman) thinks, so is he (she)." We've even nodded our heads in agreement.

Yet, often, we allow those sneaky saboteurs called 'negative thoughts' to take up residence and wreak havoc in our minds.

Your mind is the HQ or the workshop from which the rest of your life is distributed. Whoa!

So what to do? You can't stop yourself from thinking, can you?

Anyone who has tried knows that you can't change poor thought patterns with the snap of a finger.

Here are a few quick tips to help get you started:

1) TAKE STOCK of your internal self-talk to root out and eliminate any negative ones; An easy way to tell is to ask, "Is this thought expansive, edifying, or enlightening, or is it causing anxiety, guilt, shame, hurt, harm, or worry?"

Once identified, acknowledge negative thoughts for what they are - just thoughts, then replace them in your mind, in a journal, and/or out loud, with what is actually true about you or your situation.

(Ex: Negative thought "My hair sucks", Truth: "My hair isn't laying the way I want today. It might be time for a trip to the salon/barber or maybe I can find a tutorial on how to manage my type of hair") **Do this on repeat**

2) REMIND YOURSELF daily of the amazing things that you are and that you do. Because you do, in fact, Rock!

3) PRIORITIZE YOU. It's become cliché', I know, but self-care (whatever that means for you) is truly the fuel that gives you energy to be and to present as your best, most power-filled self.

3) DRESS THE PART - Visualize where you want to you go. What does that look like? What do YOU look like? Make it happen.

In 2012, Psychologists Hajo Adam and Adam D. Galinsky coined the phrase "Enclothed Cognition" to describe the symbolic meaning we ascribe and the physical effects we experience when wearing certain items of clothing.

They showed scientifically that what we think about what we wear and about who we are matters greatly, both in how we show up and how others perceive us. More on this later...

If you want to learn more about how to bring all of this together to elevate your public image for maximum impact in your industry, DM me or Let's hop on a call.

Your best YOU is waiting.

Every Woman Needs A Little Black Dress...WRONG.

I've been talking a lot this week about color psychology & how color can either help or hamper your professional wardrobe & your overall public image.

One of the most pervasive myths is ... Every woman needs a little black dress.

It just isn't true. (Sorry guys)

What's wrong with little black dresses?

Nothing. If that's what you want to wear & aren't concerned with wearing garments or colors that aren’t optimal for you.

Then, why shouldn't we all have one?

📌 Contrary to popular belief, black is NOT an optimal color for everyone

📌 There may be many other colors that would complement you better in dress form for a formal event or a nice night out.

📌 A non-black sequined separates set, wide-legged slacks with a statement top, or even a tuxedo-inspired ensemble could be a showstopper if executed properly.

📌 Wearing black as a slimming agent only amplifies the insecurities you may have with your body image and will show through even if wearing black.

I know. But, I love you. ❤️

This isn't what retailers, designers, & others looking to move their little black dress inventory want you to hear.

It may not even be what YOU want to hear. But it's the truth.

If you want to know what your ideal colors are & whether black is in your optimal palette or not, I CAN HELP.

DM me for details & to set up some time to talk about your professional, customized color analysis session so you can ...

Turn Heads, Blow Minds, and Change Lives,™ every single time.

DID YOU KNOW that people make judgments about you within the first three seconds of encountering you? 🤔

They make a decision about your ATTRACTIVENESS, LIKEABILITY, TRUSTWORTHINESS, even your COMPETENCE...Yikes!

Whether those perceptions are accurate or not is another story. But perceptions do matter.

As an Image Consultant who works with public officials, public speakers, media personalities, and other high-profile professionals, it is my job to make sure that you absolutely NAIL those first impressions.

So, if you don't just want to be "good,” and are ready to catapult into your best, most impactful, and poeer-filled season of your career and your life, then check out the video below.
