THE PRESENTATION STATION

Your professional look is an extension of your professional brand, and at the executive level, your attire dictates how you are perceived before you even speak.

This page provide practical, actionable strategies to ensure your attire supports—not distracts from—your expertise.

The LinkedIn Dress Code Audit

Before your next high-stakes interview, stop guessing the dress code.

Your attire is your first piece of communication, and sending the wrong signal is a huge distraction.

Use the LinkedIn Audit—auditing the profiles of leaders in the target role—to decode the culture. If they wear blazers and button-downs, you can dress Business Casual.

If you see full suits, default to Business Professional. Don't guess; use the evidence to ensure your look aligns perfectly with your executive presence.

The Salary Look

Dressing for the compensation you want to command is a non-verbal yet critical pre-negotiation tactic.

Your attire directly impacts your own confidence and the hiring manager's perception, and appearing as a mid-level candidate risks securing only a mid-level offer.

By presenting as a leader already earning a high salary, the subsequent negotiation for a large increase feels natural and justified.
