The simple penguin suit is a thing of the past. Men walked the red carpet last night expressing their own fashion taste and personal flair. A big similarity amongst Hollywood's leading men was a little added sparkle on the lapel and a flared trouser. Also several men rocked a boot and some with a slight heel. Whether you're a fan or not, I think much of what we saw can trickle down into our own closets. My favorite is the elevated lapel pin. You can easily add something sparkly to your jacket at your next occasion formal or casual. Most of us probably don't even need to really look too far. Before heading out to purchase your bling I would inquire with your wife, girlfriend, or even mother-in-law. They may very well have what you are looking for. If you are unable to find inspiration there I would then check out a local resale or vintage shop. Elevating your dress is about the details. If you are unsure of how, when, or what to wear having a personal stylist can alleviate the frustration. I dress men for a reason. Should you find yourself frustrated or in need of a second opinion drop me a message. #ReadyForAnything #jhilburn #custom #custommade #menswear #mensclothing #fashion #style #mensstyle #personalstyle #dapper #lifestyle #chicago #evanston #northshore #mdm #maindempstermile #lifestyledbyjackson #entrepreneurship #finance #banking #healthcare #sales #business

For two decades, my wardrobe was a carousel of suits and stilettos—a uniform that whispered "professional" but screamed "conformity." Imagine the uproar when I traded those for sandals and a splash of Lilly Pulitzer in my coaching business. 🌈👡 Here's the truth: The moment I decided to ditch the corporate costume, I wasn't just breaking fashion rules; I was setting my authentic self free. I faced a choir of naysayers, echoing the age-old adage of "musts" and "shoulds" in business attire. 🚫👔 But here's a Fun Friday Business Tip for you: Your authenticity is your greatest asset. It took me ten years of running a franchise under the weight of expectations to realize that embracing my unique self wasn't just an option; it was the only way forward. 🚀 So, to every woman entrepreneur feeling pressured to fit into a mold that doesn't feel right—be bold, be you. Your vibe attracts your tribe, and there's nothing more magnetic than genuine authenticity. Let's embrace our quirks and build businesses that are as vibrant and diverse as we are. 💪💖 How will you let your true self shine in your business today? #BeAuthentic #FunFridayBusinessTip #YourVibeAttractsYourTribe

Today is a big day in the Bryan/Semark household – it is opening night of the play my husband is in in the West End – specifically the Noel Coward Theatre. Now anyone that is really keen, might be googling what is happening at the Noel Coward right now. And you would discover it is ‘Player Kings’ with Ian McKellan. So, tonight we will be at a business and networking party of a different kind – one with, what we understand, lots of Hollywood celebrities. Am I nervous – heck yeah, but I am also beyond excited! Now what has this got to do with leading change, you might ask. And that is simple, change can be nerve-racking and exciting (just like tonight). Change can be stressful and scary and fun (just like tonight). We need to approach change as an opportunity to explore and experience something different. After all, I would gamble that a great majority of you reading this now, go on a different holiday each year for those same reasons - to do and explore and experience something different…Am I right? So, how do we go about bringing the same approach to change from our personal lives to our professional lives? First, we decide what type of experience we want and then set a plan to make that happen. Can we plan for everything – no. Can we know exactly what is going to happen at each moment – no. But that is part of the experience and is what many times makes it exciting as well as scary. So long as we plan what we can and have the mindset that we can manage whatever is thrown at us in the moment, Then we will be ok. I am just going to repeat that - the MINDSET that we can manage the unknowns. It is when we let the unkowns paralyse us that gets us into trouble. Everyday we wake up, there are unknowns – before we open the curtains, is it sunny (lately no, but hopefully…) You get my point. We need to move with the unknowns not be afraid or go against them. So, what have we done with this new, change moment in prep for tonight? We planned our outfits over a month ago. All outfits have been cleaned and pressed, My outfit went to the seamstress to be hemmed of course because the trousers were 6 inches too long (I know – I am short 😁) Taxi to the tube station has been booked. We know where we need to be and at what time. We have made a plan on how we will get home. And the rest – we will just have to wait and see.   #leadingchange #workplace #leadership #change #networking

// Hitchcock, that British beauty, showed us that once you find your face, you find your place. Alfred said it himself: “I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.” So, as a “typed director," he had a niche that the world encased him within. But he knew this. He wanted this. He Consciously Choreographed this. That sly dog. He recognised that our public image — our personal brand — can (and must) be shaped. That starts at the very top — our face. But, a simple, six-second selfie won’t cut it. You’ve got to be far, far more strategic. A selfie is the human. A strategic selfie is the brand. For Hitchcock, his personal brand is not just his face. It’s: > A certain angle... > A certain depiction... > A certain perspective... And once he found that vibe — side-profile shots, moody atmosphere, stern-yet-inquisitive half-cocked eyebrows — he worked it. Milked it more than a farmhand on speed. So much so, that it could be reduced down to a few brush strokes and still be a symbol of him. // Want to get milking? Make sure you’ve got that strategic face of yours prepared and pouting. #personalbranding #founder #leadership
