What we cover

Episode Overview

In under 10 minutes, we turn Melanie Lippman’s image strategy into action you can use before your next meeting. You’ll learn how to build a brand-first wardrobe (not trend-first), use color to create connection, pass the Zoom 10-second check, codify your Style Code to kill decision fatigue, and show up as the most authentic, magnetic version of you—IRL and on camera. This is executive presence from closet to conference room: simple systems, repeatable confidence, and an outfit that reads “leader” before you say a word.

On this podcast episode, Image Strategist Melanie Lippman helps women in leadership build executive presence and a memorable personal brand—without dressing like everyone else.

This episode is perfect for leaders who want practical, repeatable outfit formulas that align with their brand. If you are a woman that cares about personal branding, executive presence, and practical career growth, this one’s your new uniform.
