Color & Style Speaker for Kansas City Groups & Beyond
Talking about the power of personal color and style is one of my very favorite things to do. Just ask anyone who knows me!
Something special happens when a room full of people starts to see color differently. There are “aha” moments, lots of laughter, and great questions. Many people realize for the first time that looking fine and looking great can come down to the colors they wear. I love sharing what I’ve learned about color analysis and style, and I leave every presentation with renewed energy for my mission: to uncover the natural beauty in each and every person.
What Your Group Will Discover
My presentations are interactive, encouraging, and full of practical takeaways your group can use the very next morning.
Examples of topics include:
How color and style tell your story.
Movies and television use color and style to reveal details about their characters, and what we wear tells a story about us, too.
Why neutrals are the foundation of your wardrobe.
Every season has its own best neutrals, and knowing yours makes getting dressed so much easier.
The power of undertones.
Understanding your undertones changes how you choose clothing and makeup.
What your colors say at work.
Healthcare research shows that what professionals wear shapes how they’re perceived, and the same is true in every workplace.
Letting go of the urge to blend in.
We’ll talk about how the messages we’ve heard can shape our choices, and how to step into colors that let you shine.
The colors that communicate.
Some shades help you project confidence, while others make you more approachable.
