Invite me to speak to your organization
I love speaking to groups and this week I had the opportunity to speak to the sisterhood at Beth El Congregation in Bethesda, Maryland. The topic? How to look 10 years younger and ten pounds thinner. We drew quite the crowd and had a lot of fun discussing wardrobe camouflage techniques, haircolor options and makeup products.
I am always amazed to see accomplished, professional women who are 40, 50 or 60, that do not know how a pair of pants or a jacket should fit! Well, we cleared that all up and now hopefully this information will be passed down to their daughters. Think about it-who teaches us this? Women (and men) watch others and emulate the mistakes they see and assume they are doing the right thing. There are so many things we should each know about ourselves: Are you long-waisted or short-waisted?
Do you know which style trouser, skirt or jacket looks best on you?
What are your 5 best colors? What story do you tell the world about yourself each day through the clothing you wear?
Do you know the symbols of authority, the language of clothing, shoes and accessories?
Could you be sabotaging your best efforts by your appearance?
These are the issues that need to be answered so we can soar in confidence while pursuing our dreams.

I bought Kim's cd just before I had a big TV interview and it really helped me. I changed the outfit I was going to wear and tried out some of the makeup techniques. Then I set off for my interview with a greater sense of confidence. THANK YOU KIM!!! (The interview went fabulously!)
Your expertise would be perfect for my company. And you're so right, who teaches us this? NO ONE! I'm so glad I found your blog and will definitely check out your website. I can't wait to learn more!
Those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s remember how hard we struggled to be "taken seriously". Unfortunately, I think that effort led some of us to deny that our appearance is every bit a part of our overall competence as our other skills and attributes. So bravo to Kim for being willing to shine a light on those things that people sometimes whisper but may be afraid to say out loud.
