You already have the experience, the credentials, and the intellect—but does your wardrobe reflect that?
In this high-impact, interactive session, image coach Melanie Lippman will show female attorneys how to stop using their wardrobe as a last-minute band-aid—and instead, turn it into a strategic tool that supports their confidence and visibility.
We’ll explore:
- Why your clothes are silently sabotaging your credibility (and how to stop it)
- How to align your personal style with the authority you bring to the courtroom
- Simple, powerful tweaks you can make to what’s already in your closet—no shopping required
- What to wear when high-stakes moments call for calm, confidence, and control
- Why a strong style brand isn’t about vanity—it’s about commanding attention before you say a word
Expect tangible tips, real talk, and a little tough love as we shift from blending in… to standing out with purpose.
The night will include a brief business meeting, generous hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
A special thank you to our sponsors
