4 GOLDEN RULES

Whatever it is, has to be comfortable: never wear it for the first time

Watch out jewelry: less is more

One ring per hand, one earring per ear. Accessories should reflect your personality, not

diminish your credibility

Faces, not feet are the focal point in business

A low heel is more professional than flats or high heels. Open-toed or backless shoes are

not office attire. Choose conservative shoes

It doesn’t have to be boring, be yourself in business attire!

• May work longer to receive promotions (and higher pay)

• With children earn 2.5% less than without (men=opposite)

Is there a Glass Ceiling? A combination of two components:

• Glass: while it is very real, it is transparent and not obvious to the observer

• Ceiling: there is a limit to how far someone can climb it.

If there is one, can we break it?
