Dahlia is joined by Zena Everett Speaker, Leadership Coach and Author of 'The Crazy Busy Cure' and 'Badly Behaved People'.
Zena and Dahlia discuss the link between clothes and culture with Zena sharing her reflections from her time in recruitment and her research for her writing.
The discussion explores questions such as whether organisations should provide a clothing allowance for junior new starters, whether imposter syndrome is really a thing and whether you can be stressed and well dressed all at oncce.
The conversation centres around the fact that clothes can be used strategically to either build your confidence or to create an image where you are over or underestimated (listen carefully to Zena's favourite fashion moment) and Dahlia and Zena discuss the role clothes can play in shaping a corporate culture. There is a very clear shared view of the fact that there is no room for 'bad behaviour' in the workplace and that everyone deserves respect whatever they choose to wear.
Listen to reflect on how workplace culture has influenced your clothing choices and how you have used clothes to build your confidence and improve your mindset.
