Episode 61: Dress for Success with Susan Salter


Listen Later

Susan Salter started her 30-year corporate career working with big banks. It was when she became a senior director handling a lot of people that she realized her passion for helping people perform and show up better in their careers. She had always been the manager who was the voice of reason for her subordinates. No matter her colossal success, she reached the point where her job no longer excited her. She also believed she could do more and could speak independently on her personal advocacy of empowering more corporate women outside that regular job. As a career woman who has seen all the possible workplace scenarios, she has a wide range of knowledge and experience for her coaching venture. And since women at times would also need a wardrobe to revamp, she incorporated styling with her coaching services -- a combination that makes her offering especially distinctly for women. That's basically how she operates on ElevateHer.

Highlights:

  •  On Inside work - women should change their mindsets by ridding of the negative self-talk, thoughts, and feelings that sabotage their own lives
  •  On Outside work: women should equally take care of their grooming and styling as people tend to make perception of them first by how they look
  •  On Credibility vs. fashion appropriateness: women should not be guilty or apologetic for their feminine attributes and fashion style; being confident of their looks  help them deliver better than when they are constrained
  •  On dealing with impostor syndrome: observe quiet time early in the morning; write down your daily thoughts; give yourself a pep talk; place your mind on a positive side; high-five yourself in a mirror; and give yourself a pause for transition with every shift of activity


In a male-dominated corporate world, through ElevateHer as well as Life, Styled by Susan, Susan educates and provides women with the support that they need. She encourages l women to embrace and utilize their female energy and to never lose their feminine attributes even when they have to wear black and navy suits. More specifically, she advocates that they wear the dresses, the red lipstick, the heels, the makeup, and the styling they love if they want to give themselves a boost and appear in their best shape for corporate work. In helping women in leadership positions, she emphasizes that instead of trying to muster some sort of masculinity, women should bank on their feminine energy and foster their own brand of leadership.
For your own dose of femininity boost, Susan is available on all socials. Her website is Lifestyledbysusan.com.
