It’s time to dress your whole body again! Still remember how?

- On the question of going back to “normal,” am I ready? Did I prefer the solitude and convenience of life at home? Did my personal brand survive the pandemic – or am I a new person?
- Dressing my whole self again: the challenge and the opportunity – is it worth it?
- How do I maintain my personal brand in any and all circumstances?
Back Into The Office? Are You an Oh No? Or a Hell, Yeah!
I’ve been amused to learn that I have two types of clients. From the standpoint of their personal style, they are contemplating the return to in-person business in one of two ways:- Dreading it! (I can’t bear the thought of having to wear anything less comfortable than my leggings all day long at work! )
- Can’t wait! (I’m excited to dress again! And to get some of my favorite clothes out of mothballs, so to speak, after all these many months.)

Post-Pandemic Style??? I Finally Got Used to Zoom!
Becca, on the other hand, is doing just fine at home. The shift to online meetings was not easy, at first. But by now, a year and a half later, she can’t imagine going back to that two-hour commute! What a waste of time. And she is just fine with dressing only the top part of her body. What’s wrong with that? She thinks leggings are “delicious” — and why not work wrapped in comfort all day? By now, there are a bunch of lopsided “Zoom” outfits in her wardrobe – because she’s thrown away some things, but has bought nothing new. She’s saved a fortune on dry cleaning! She has no interest in defining a post-pandemic style. New Yorker Cover Art by Adrian Tomine, Dec. 2020Did You Nurture Your Personal Brand During the Pandemic?

Does your business communication style sync with your personal brand?
Whether personal or corporate – the term “brand” is a catch-all phrase describing the experience we provide to other people.- Are we easy to be with?
- As a professional or a company, are we easy to engage with — for example, to get quick information from, to buy from, or to solve ordering problems and make returns?
- Are we clear in our communication, so that other people understand what we want from them?
- Finally, does our communications’ substance, tone, and style reflect our values? I mean everything from our business website to our individual skill with effective email communication — and our ability to work with groups and teams in a completely virtual environment.
