How is your style? 

You're a successful female leader in the corporate world or with your own business who's serious and passionate about what you do. 

Do you love fashion and are always dressing fabulously? 
Are you thinking you could do with an update but not sure where to look? 
Or are you not sure what looks good on you anymore? 

Does your style make you look and feel the part?

You can be the best at what you do, but it’s easy to be overlooked and not recognised for your talents if that’s what your clothes tell other people.

If you’re a female in the workplace today, the chances are you will still face far more obstacles and be judged more harshly on your appearance than your male counterparts. It’s an unfortunate reality many of us deal with, so instead let’s take an empowerment perspective. 

This week on the Lady Leadership show, I had the privilege of interviewing Lucy Owens. Lucy is the founder of Style Rises. Lucy helps female professionals and leaders 35+ create a personal style that represents them confidently and authentically.

Lucy is a big believer in If you weren’t born with an innate sense of style, that you can learn style. Her clients are General Managers, Directors, Senior Consultants, CFOs, CEOs, Executives and Partners. Many are successful entrepreneurs and run their own businesses.

They come to Lucy because they lack confidence in their professional image and often feel bored and uninspired with their style. They often also feel they've lost their way (due to age/body shape changes) and are struggling to look stylish, comfortable and age appropriate within new dress codes.

She helps you create a signature style formula that supports your professional brand and gives you the confidence you need to step up.
