Session #3: The Psychology of Dressing for your Business, Brianna Carson, What Would Audrey Wear?
As business owners we know the power of a great website, strategically placed ads, and well-designed business cards. Yet with all of the effort we put into our businesses on a daily basis, most of us miss marketing the most obvious aspect of them: ourselves. You are your brand, and your packaging is your personal style. Are you communicating your business effectively through what you wear every day? Are you creating opportunity with how you present yourself? Learn what your clothes are saying about you behind (and in front of) your back.

Brianna has a background in psychology and uses it to understand and use fashion to benefit her clients by understanding human perception and judgement based on clothing.
