What's more, it makes up 26 percent of what it takes to get promoted. It's the Business of You.

"Marion Gellatly spent time preparing for our employee image workshop and developed a tailored presentation, specific to our company and industry.  She did not use an off-the-shelf generic presentation.  She gathered information about our employees’ jobs, learned the types of attire that is expected for our industry, and showed specific examples of fabric choices, fabric colors, fit and tailoring, and clothing styles that would help our employees communicate their best image.  Marion was very honest, yet tactful, in dealing with discussion points such as grooming.  After the presentation, Marion remained to help individuals who wanted to ask her questions in private.  Many of us now subscribe to Marion’s “Ignite your Style” monthly style tips.  And, I’ve noticed that several employees are now wearing clothes that have a better fit, clothes that are more appropriate for work, and clothes that present a better more confident, polished image."
