Dress for Success a success

One part of a My Pinnacle Network meeting is our Two-Minute Drill. A recent one—Dress for Success—sparked a lot of different stories and views on how your attire plays a role in your own personal success and success in winning over current clients and prospects. This included a story about a somebody wearing an AC/DC t-shirt to a client meeting and one member’s experience of birthing a baby shark! Let’s call that a topic for another day.

One prevailing thought on the topic of dressing for success was how it has evolved over the years. Conventional thought was that men wore a suit, shirt and tie, or a sport coat at the very least and women similarly were attired in business dress suit or slacks, with proper sweater or blouse. Yet many of the stories shared spoke to a new theme of dressing for the occasion or the person.

Several people shared stories where clients told them “not to wear a tie the next time.” Or when the member didn’t wear a time for a client visit and were told, “I’m glad you didn’t wear a tie.”

The more you hear these stories, the more you realize how what you wear impacts you and the person you are visiting. Some clients or prospects want to keep things casual. Others may appreciate the importance you place on a meeting by dressing more traditionally. You really do have to know your audience and dress accordingly.

Yet perhaps the most important audience you need to dress for is yourself.

A sub for one of our members in Westborough illustrated that point by sharing a story about playing competitive hockey in high school. Shirt-and-tie was mandatory dress for games. In college, he played club hockey. Come-as-you-are was the code. When the team didn’t get off to a great start in his first season, they internally adopted a dress code. No more sweats or jeans. Button-down shirts and nice pants were required. Almost on cue, the team began playing at a much higher level.

Interesting.

As you can see, dressing for success can play out in many ways and is very subjective. For example, one rule of thumb yours truly learned a long time ago: it’s much easier to take off a coat, undo a tie and a button then it is to convert a t-shirt and jeans into a suit or even business casual attire. Like I said, everyone’s experience in this arena can be very different.

Thank you, 2016

We will not soon forget the year 2016 for some very obvious reasons. The less obvious will be the iconic figures who left us this year.

It started early this year with the passing of David Bowie, Prince, Garry Marshall, Muhammad Ali, Gordie Howe, Arnold Palmer, Leonard Cohen and finally Fidel Castro. Yet the most difficult to absorb might be the loss of Florence Henderson, AKA Mrs. Brady.

What’s happened with the passing of these iconic figures is we remember their contributions and express appreciation for their talents and what it meant to us (with the definite exception of the notorious Castro).

Celebrity deaths make us feel sad and remind us of our own mortality. It also makes you wish you had one opportunity to say thank you.

“Thank you” to Prince for, among other things, Purple Rain.

“Thank you” to Mohamed Ali just for being “The Greatest”.

Hallelujah for Leonard Cohen.

Happy Days to Garry Marshall.

And bless you, Florence Henderson, for being Mrs. Brady.

Every day presents opportunities for gratitude for the people in our lives, both at work and during our personal time. This year has taught us quite a lot, but thanking the people in your life is one lesson worth taking into 2017.

Thank you for listening.
