Heading back to your client’s offices? While it may no longer be as frequent of a requirement, there are definitely still organizations who are excited to have their consultants rejoin them for critical events and meetings. 

Last week marked my first work trip in over a year! And it took me much longer than usual to pack... I was very glad to have The Dress Code packing list to make sure I didn’t forget anything critical after spending a year + not living out of a suitcase. 

As the world begins to reopen, and we’re called back to the client site - make sure you remember how to dress well - regardless of the office climate. If you’re wondering what you may have forgotten in a year of sweatpants and athleisure, click the link to purchase your copy of The Dress Code - A guide for curating your professional wardrobe. With it you’ll not only get an easy to follow guide of all the key wardrobe basics, outfit combinations and rules for dressing well... you’ll also receive worksheets to help you go shopping, plan your weekly outfits, and pack for your travels.

Comfort Amidst Chaos While on Camera
 
When the current climate is catastrophic, and it is challenging to contain your composure, care for yourself with comfortable clothing.
 
Concerns for our safety (physical, mental, financial, career, future) can be all comprising, and caustic to our confidence. When that is the case, I like to count on comfy clothes to provide a warm cozy cocoon; and when that is coupled with a need to consult while on camera (hello Webex video, I hate you) instead of just via conference call, I choose to chill in cashmere. Check out today’s post for these casual outfit details. #linkinbio 

We are all consuming a lot of chaos right now and calculating how best to circumnavigate these corrosive and confusing current events. Continue channeling the constructive – the more conscious collaboration we can create, the greater the collective compassion.

All my best, and take care,

KelsC.

First of all, I miss you, and I hope that throughout the past year you have fared well. I also miss writing and sharing the consulting lifestyle with you – though that lifestyle has changed quite drastically over the last 12 months.
 
This year has been immeasurably difficult for so many reasons, and I want to acknowledge and sympathize with all the pain and difficulty the world has faced, which is why I have refrained from posting this last year.
 
As we begin to heal and look towards the future, I would like to take a moment to comment briefly in a non-corporate focused post (since we are not all back in offices yet… though I did just sign a contract for a new office space yesterday!!).
 
So check out today’s post - #linkinbio to find out how irony can become fortunate in the future. 

All my best,

KelsC. 🍀

Hi All! 

I’ve missed you, but have been quiet out of respect for all that has been going on in the world - a world where suits are less important than sensitivity. 

However, amidst the recent social media silence there are a few things in progress that I’m excited about, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to meet with @parkcitytv tomorrow to discuss! 

Tune in for my live interview on the Mountain Connections morning show! We’ll be covering the background of @theconsultantscloset, future growth goals, how the pandemic has affected dressing for the professional work world, and how to remain professional while working from home and balancing personal priorities. 

8 AM MDT (Replay at 6 pm & 10 pm)  Comcast Channel 17, 102, or 36  Livestream - PCTV.TV 

All my best,

KelsC.

Cheers to the First Year! 
Wow, The Consultant’s Closet is One! Cannot believe it has already been a whole year since the first post went live April 2nd, 2019. 
While the last three weeks have been exceptionally unexpected -  changed a lot of priorities and shifted how I was planning to celebrate the milestone - I am extremely grateful nonetheless for the opportunity to recognize such an achievement, and to have spent the last year getting to travel around the country both supporting my clients, but also conducting photoshoots in some of our country’s greatest cities - cities that I love, and know are being so impacted by our world’s current events. 
Being able to conceptualize an idea, see it to fruition, and then maintain it on a defined schedule for a year is not an easy undertaking – especially when needing to balance full-time clients, travel, and other business focuses.

While what is happening in the world right now is affecting all of us in different ways, and I am taking some time away from frequent outfit focused posts to be respectful of the current climate, I do want to take a moment to celebrate (here are some of your favorite posts from this past year!), recognize the occasion, and thank you for all of your support. 
Thank you all for your gracious attention – I truly hope you have found value from the content, guidance and recommendations that have been shared thus far. Should you need resume support as a result of what is transpiring in the world affecting your position - please reach out and I will do everything in my power to help. 
Cheers to the future and as always all my best, 
KelsC. #theconsultantscloset

Call to Action: We are all being impacted by the current events albeit differently –  for some it means adjusting to a remote work structure (the focus of the today’s post), for many it means losing work, compensation, opportunities, investments, security, and there are also so many who are continuing to serve, support and protect. While so much is uncertain and quite frankly terrifying right now, please remember to be kind – check in with your neighbors, coworkers, friends and evaluate how you may be able to help (support doesn’t need to be in person to be helpful –  ex. financial donations). And remember the inverse of fear is gratitude – counting the blessings you have immediately transitions the brain from a negative to a positive mindset, and it takes a positive focus to be able to develop solutions.
———————————————
Well, while we sit and wonder, it’s best not to just wait, worry or wallow, but to work (and workout). Take a look at today’s post for recommendations on how to work remotely and how to manage team members who may be working remotely for the first time.

Stun in Silk

Sometimes we stun, sometimes we’re sleep deprived - but no matter what the day brings we have to be savvy; and self-care helps! 
Slightly delayed post because someone has been swamped! But check out today’s website for my travel recommendations to fight jet lag, and sleep deprivation in order to maintain your skill set! And swipe to see my very tired eyes (aka unedited photo because zero time! But full disclosure I don’t edit pics almost at all except to remove distractions - ex: hair flying massively out of place, or a pimple that I don’t usually have. And I don’t generically filter or change body composition at all). Find your sage success tactics to make your long and difficult travel / work days less strenuous!

Learn to Love Lobbies

Lounging in lobbies isn’t a luxury, but rather likely for consultants. Late nights working with team members, early mornings prepping for the day’s presentations, the list goes on. 
Check out today’s post for some recommendations on key things to keep in mind when evaluating hotel lobbies, and while working in them. 
And remember to look through literature while lolling in lobbies so as not to laze.

Sidebar | Sundancing in the Snow

See the Sundance logo on films and wonder what it means? Follow certain celebs on Insta and curious as to what they are doing tromping around in the snow of Utah in January?

A month ago, Sundance was underway in Park City, and I love to attend (and this year convinced another friend of mine - who is also a consultant - to join me), so I’ve recapped it for you! If you have any interest in movies or attending in the future, check it out! #linkinbio

Wondering About World Trade?

Amidst all the Coronavirus concerns, and the current stock market drop one can’t help but wonder, what will the impact to world trade be? Where do we go from here when whole portions of the world are cordoned off?

While it’s easy to let our fears grow out of proportion and allow the news cycle to perpetuate a sense of anxiety and worry, it’s best to remember that we’ve always rebuilt, and come back even stronger. There’s no place that is a greater reminder of our will than at the 9/11 memorial. What occurred there almost 19 years ago is unspeakably horrific, but the strength the memorial represents of the ability to keep going is powerful, and something to never forget. 
See today’s post for this somber outfit’s details, and let your wardrobe work for you, no matter where in the world you wander. And don’t worry
-  it’s a waste of your energy, instead wield that energy into solutions.
