EP: 89 The Importance of Professional Image with Cari Rutkoskie

It’s almost fall! My favorite time of year. I’ve been working with Charlotte, my 5th grader, on her fall wardrobe. I don’t remember being as concerned about what I was wearing to school when I was in 5th grade, but I have a budding fashionista. We’ve recently discovered Plato’s Closet and thrifting at Goodwill for the latest “cool” trends. Charlotte is already building her pre-teen brand and doesn’t even know it! Well, the school year prep that I’m doing with Charlotte fits right in line with my conversation with my guest today, Cari Rutkoskie. Cari is the owner of not one, but 2 businesses. Cari is an expert in communications, whether that’s with your words or your wardrobe. Today, we’re going to talk about both of her businesses, but there’s a special focus on her business with Cabi, an online clothing specifically serving women. During my conversation with Cari, we covered: 1. Why our professional image is so important 2. What are the building blocks of a professional image? 3. How what we wear affects our confidence 4. How having “go-to” or loved pieces in our wardrobe helps 5.
