“Kathleen gave a very informative presentation to the Reno eWomenNetwork chapter centered around the different levels of dress, proper business dress and showing up authentically in your clothes. Her presentation provided just enough visual interest to keep the audience engaged and her handouts provided guests some great take-home information. Her talk was interesting, relevant, and met our stringent time constraints of 20 minutes, allowing for a lively Q&A. I would highly recommend Kathleen.”

“As a professional speaker and speaking coach, I’m constantly thinking about my image and how to ensure that what I project through my facial expressions, body language and clothing enhances my message and credibility. I was introduced to Kathleen through a mutual friend and while I had never previously envisioned working with an image consultant, within 5 minutes of talking with Kathleen I knew the question was not if we would work together and rather when we would work together. There are so many things I relish about having Kathleen in my life (and in my closet). Having a process for essentializing my wardrobe to pieces I love (and that love to be worn by me!), knowing the colors that make me and my brand come to life, and understanding the fits that work best on my frame…all wonderful. But what I think I appreciate most about Kathleen is her ability to see me at such a deep, core level and with such tenderness support me in slaying self-sabotaging thoughts about myself and my body I didn’t know I had. I’m so impressed with Kathleen and her brilliance at working with speakers I asked her to style all of the women in my mastermind for their speaking reels and she was an invaluable resource. To anyone thinking about working with Kathleen, know that you are investing not only in an image consultant but also in a coach who does deep, delicious work. And to businesses who are considering bringing Kathleen in, know that you will be receiving not only an expert but also a masterful speaker, teacher and guide who is excellent at navigating between getting it right for leaders and getting it right for their people.”

“My 2 hours of personal shopping with you were so fun. I felt like I was set free to really express myself through my clothing. I think that sometimes we need to be given permission to change… or maybe we need to just get out of our own heads and out of our way. Having my “words” and becoming more conscious of my decisions as we shopped was so liberating. I actually LOVE what I bought and can’t wait to wear them. I feel beautiful, sexy, and powerful in my new tops, woohoo! The patterns and colors that I used to look at but would not buy, I now seek out. So long boring black. Thanks Kathleen for giving me “permission” and helping me move forward.”

“On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce board, staff, and young entrepreneurs academy, thank you so much for taking the time to join us to discuss professional dress and presentation. The advice you shared was invaluable for our students as they head to their next venture.”

“Kathleen presented a workshop “Develop Your Authentic Clothing Vibe” at Truckee Meadows Community College this past summer to rave reviews! How to dress professionally and on a budget was her focus. She doesn’t talk down or make anyone feel uncomfortable. She engages her participants and fields their questions. The information was valuable and beneficial. This is a specialized workshop on a topic that is not often addressed. If your organization or company needs a seminar contact Kathleen!”

“Senior leaders within our organization have been challenged by our changing demographics and the fact that we do not have a written dress code. Many older employees had progressively gotten more casual in their appearance and new employees seemed to not understand what was appropriate for a work environment like ours. Kathleen did a fabulous job talking to me about our needs and then working with our employees. She demonstrated a high degree of empathy and her ability to connect with our employees was evident. Everyone who attended was pleased and talked about it for some time. She is extremely knowledgeable, did a great job presenting, and provided great advice to our employees. Kathleen really listened to our concerns and needs and tailored her efforts to helping us achieve our goals. Every employee who attended our workshop had positive reviews and Kathleen surpassed our expectations. We have already talked about asking her to come back for another workshop, she did such an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with.”

“Kathleen is amazing at what she does to help you find your own authentic style and the best in your personality and bring your positive and true qualities out each and every day. After working with her I feel not only more organized but completely renewed and refreshed. I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone who wants to discover their true brand and personality and reflect that in your wardrobe. Thank you Kathleen, you are amazing!”

“I am a consultant in Early Childhood Education and had the good fortune to participate in a workshop for Early Childhood educators that focused on the image people project based on what they are wearing. It was fun, informative and non-threatening. A few days later at a meeting, teachers were noticing what their colleagues were wearing and the message: “Suzanne, you are wearing a coat with lapels – we’ll be taking you more seriously.” While there was humor embedded, I noticed that the teachers looked more professional at this meeting.”

“Kathleen’s presentation has sparked interest with our staff. As Pre-K Teachers, it is a difficult balance to dress practically as well as professionally. Kathleen gave us simple clothing cues to look for to be intentional in the message our appearance conveys. Weeks later teachers are still talking about ‘shopping your closet’ and ‘wardrobe orphans.”
