How you show up for yourself can affect and determine how others show up for you. Elisa believes personal styling is more than a wardrobe haul, it’s a total transformation that introduces you to your inner awesomeness. Elisa helps her clients let go of what’s not working, transforms how they feel about what’s in their closet, and helps them create a new wardrobe so they have a closet full of clothes they love.
“I Say What HR Can’t” – Elisa does workshops and presentations for businesses that struggle with team members not dressing for success. She shares the impact of “Up-Leveling” your attire and how it can boost productivity, increase sales, and encourage collaboration.


The Style Advantage: I Say What HR Can’t
TAP INTO THE POWER OF STYLE
First impressions take less than seven seconds and unlocking your personal style will elevate your image, inspire confidence, and drive success.
For close to a decade, Elisa Ellis has been transforming the closets (and lives) of professionals around the world. Her signature keynote empowers professionals to prioritize how they’re showing up at work and at home by leveraging her ABC Style Strategy; Authenticity, Branding & Confidence.
SESSION OUTLINE:
Using a combination of data, proven strategies, and real life experience, Elisa delivers the blueprint for leveraging your style as a game-changing tool for business success. She breaks down how minor wardrobe tweaks can deliver big results and transform how you feel, work, and interact with others. Elisa empowers professionals to unlock their inner power through style so they can shine from the inside out and influence the energy in the room.
Authenticity:
Build clarity around your wardrobe so you can show up authentically and attract the right clients. Let go of what you think you should look like, stop trying to fit into the corporate box and instead, show up as YOU. When you unlock your personal style, you give yourself permission to let go of the old version of you and who you think you’re supposed to be, to propel yourself to the next level.
On Brand:
Learn how to elevate your presence. Your brand never sleeps; you are always your brand and the clothes you choose are a reflection of your vision for who you are and who you want to be. That’s why it’s essential for you to discover key pieces that work for you to support your brand and your lifestyle; at home, at the office, running errands, spending time with your kids, coffee with a friend, or traveling. What message are you sending without saying a word?
Confidence:
From the psychology of “Enclothed Cognition” to the ROI of dressing for success, you will gain actionable insights to transform your wardrobe—and your trajectory. Here we dive into the influence our clothes have on how we feel and what we can accomplish. This “light bulb” moment will empower you to take more risks, show up differently, help others, and create a ripple effect for you, your team, and your life.

“Since we have a wide range of age groups at our firm, Elisa was able to cover all the bases when talking about appropriate attire in our business. Elisa was honest and direct about one’s style and dressing appropriately in our business. Since we have a lot of young professionals, they paid attention when the advice came from a third party.
There were a lot of follow up conversations after Elisa’s virtual presentation about individual style and dressing appropriately in our business. She got everybody thinking and paying attention to their attire!”
Julie Sullivan, President Strategic Blueprint, LLC
