Seattle Wardrobe Stylist Annette Bond

Executive Presence

Presence is hard to describe. But we know it when we see it. You have a millisecond to sell your competence, likability and trustworthiness. Looking polished and groomed signals confidence, credibility and visibility.

According to Forbes article, the 15 Biggest Challenges Women Leaders Face; Confidence is#4 on the list. My experience has been that self-confidence begins to erode from the inside out, and eventually manifests it self through ones’ personal appearance. One day you look in the mirror and realize you’re not feeling that confidence you once had. It’s time to elevate how you show up, polished and put-together, coming from a position of strength.

“Annette possesses innate style herself and is able to share her talent and knowledge effectively with others for whom it doesn’t come naturally. She understands the intimidation many feel about style and eliminates that with her warm and practical approach both when presenting to a corporate audience or working one on one with individuals. Annette provided workshops for our clients at the Microsoft Career Center and received rave reviews! The valuable information Annette presents is meaningful and customized to her audience. She identifies and respects various styles and provides practical information on how to create a better corporate image or improve an individual image for greater impact. Annette’s goal is to make the best of each individual and how they present themselves. The bonus is that she is genuinely invested in making a difference, instills confidence, and is fun to work with.

— Women in Technology, Seattle
I was wowed by Annette’s presentation to Women in Technology. She’s super appealing as a person - warm and radiant, and invites the audience to participate and engage. She gives great examples through her slides and in-person demonstration. I wasn’t sure how much I would learn, but I learned a LOT and am so happy to know about Annette. She’s obviously a pro and has a great attitude as well.”

There isn't a more powerful feeling than when your outfit truly expresses who you are. It represents everything you want to say without needing to say it.  ~ Annette Bond

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING....


 
Annette Bond brings her “Definitive Style”, as she speaks to a group of ladies of all ages and styles. I was delighted to see that I would save money as Annette demonstrated just how simple it was to begin with a basic wardrobe and build from there. Not one word was wasted as she accepted me where I am, at the size and style I have. inspiring me to find my personal brand through a simplified new wardrobe. Even though she was speaking to a group, I felt that she was speaking directly to me as I hung on every word and visual example. If you are looking for a speaker that will engage a group and inspire the individual to find their confidence-giving personal style, I recommend Annette Bond. I consider her service a key component to branding a thriving business.

I got a better understanding of what’s professional; smile, handshake, eye contact. “Oh, and I loved the part about making sure whatever you buy goes with at least 3 other pieces”
