EP 24: What to Wear For Speaking Engagements

CreativeSpeaker-Episode24-blogheader.jpg

One of the questions I’m frequently asked is how I pick out what I wear for speaking engagements. Admittedly, I feel like I have zero fashion sense. I am home all day in sweatpants and t-shirt, so I don’t know who I am to be giving you some fashion advice! However, I have been speaking for a long time and can help guide you in what outfit choices have worked best for me and the things I have learned along the way, both through success and some serious wardrobe malfunctions. You're probably going to have a good giggle with this episode and hopefully I can help you avoid some of the wardrobe issues I have had while speaking!

If you loved this episode and it motivated you to add speaking to your business, I’d love for you to leave me some positive feedback on iTunes and tell me about your biggest takeaway.

Episode takeaways you don’t want to miss:

  • Two things I place as a priority when it comes to picking an outfit for a speaking engagement: comfortability and confidence

  • Consider your audience and the height of the stage when selecting your outfit

  • Always, always, always pack an extra outfit to speak in! Wardrobe malfunctions DO happen … trust me, I learned the hard way!

  • Something you can do is wear your brand colors so pictures of you speaking will work easily with your website

  • Your outfit/hairstyle should allow for whatever kind of microphone you’ll be using (headset, clip-on, etc…)
