In this stylish episode of Brand Chops, we sit down with international image consultant and personal branding expert Shelley Golden to explore how your appearance shapes your brand—whether you're on stage, on Zoom, or in the boardroom. Shelley shares her how to use clothing to reflect confidence and authority, and why your background (yes, your actual Zoom background) might be sabotaging your credibility. We also dig into the difference between personal and corporate branding, and how to look like the expert before you even say a word.
