The end of summer/going into fall is the PERFECT time to focus on your business development and branding efforts especially since many of your peers and competitors may not be.

Despina Kartson is the Chief Marketing Officer at BakerHostetler where she works with lawyers to develop enduring and profitable client relationships and manages the communications, marketing and business development areas.

I asked NY-based image consultant Melanie Lippman to give us some more pointers on our wardrobes after her super successful Women Who Wow webinar (you can watch the replay here).

Melanie works with professional women to strategically use their clothing to give them confidence.  She does this by redefining their style in a way that’s authentically them… just amped up a little, closet edits, personal shopping and creating preplanned outfits (so women no longer stand in front of your closet thinking what the hell am I gonna wear).

Melanie feels that getting dressed is so much more than pretty clothes – it’s about your presence, stepping into who you are becoming and powerfully owning your corner of the universe.
