Today I have something to share passionately. Listen why I say

Takiyah wanted to find her voice again - not only because it's her gift but so she could use it to change others as a music-ministry recording artist. But she was stuck in the ups and downs of life and couldn't seem to sweep the foggy self-doubt and heavy emotions of the pandemic to love her own mission and then to share it with others. She thought finding new confidence in the mirror might help. She was right - and the shifts that came from "seeing herself differently" and owning her voice (literally) came with swift results.Learn from her how:➙ Learning to dress well despite the days that everyone else was wearing sweats and yoga pants renewed her motivation and results in her self-worth and business.➙ Giving yourself permission to invest in a way to believe in who you see in the mirror can radically change how you approach and control every interaction, relationship, and opportunity presented to you, big or small.➙ Takiyah prepared for your day with a "styled" intention for helping others by dressing for it, transformed not only her closet but her way of living and loving her life - and how you can do it too.Hers is a JOURNEY TO 'MAGNETIC' CONFIDENCE.If Takiyah's story has moved you to see that your image, personal brand, confidence, or all as a working and rising entrepreneur, excellence-driven professional, purpose-driven community-builder is keeping you stuck from stepping into your greatest potential, discover your next steps.

This episode was actually a live broadcast that goes down as the one I am MOST proud of.⁣⁣My intention was to share how to be more productive and confident starting with how you get dressed. It turned into something more.⁣⁣It turned emotional - not for myself but for hope for you - about who you are becoming, what potential you have to create greatness and the reach you can have to use yourself for good when you start by honouring yourself first.⁣⁣My eyes may have gotten a little wet. They may have leaked a little on camera. I’m ok with that. “In tears, there’s truth” another MCG’ism. I just shared mine.⁣I shared why dressing is more than pieces and how to make dressing an exercise in boosting self-acceptance and momentum for productive, meaningful work (no matter the times we’re in).FREE RESOURCE: bit.ly/dressforproductivityDownload my 4 simplest image boosters including an exclusive guide to 3 Hue And Style® Color Power hues tailored to your skin tone that shifts your mindset for more focused productivityThat link again... bit.ly/dressforproductivity See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
