The Situation: Leadership Presence
Bridget has been with the organization for 25 years. Her manager felt her lack of leadership presence was holding her back for a promotion. Senior leaders hesitated to have her present in front of new clients.
The Solution:
Bridget wore clothes that were ill fitting (too big or too small). And on other pieces of clothing that did work, the sleeves and pants hems were too long or short. We got the pieces that worked for her altered. New clothing items were added to enhance her presence that included clothing choices in the right colors and fabrics. Accessories (jewelry) were selected that added polish to her presence.
The Outcome:
Bridget looked and felt more confident. Her manager now has her making presentations to new clients. Senior leaders have noticed and commented that she is ready for a promotion.
