In the latest episode of Beyond the Business Suit, we interviewed Morgan Wider, Personal Style Expert for professional women. We had such a great conversation about why wardrobe and image is more than and has more impact than the clothes you wear. During the interview, Morgan and I share the serendipitous story of how we met and how that has turned into a great friendship and Morgan is also not only speaking at the Beyond the Business Suit Retreat, she's also part of our co-creation team!
Please note: we recorded this episode in January and during the interview Morgan mentions a workshop that took place in January. Even though it has already passed, make sure you join Morgan's email list (you can find it at the bottom of her homepage) so you can learn about her upcoming events!
