How do you dress for success in a virtual (or IRL) #interview? Excellent advice from our friend Michelle Merritt at D&S Executive Career Management! #Careers #Interview #Employees #Communications #PublicSpeaking #Conversations #JobSearch

Dressing for an executive-level interview isn't just about looking sharp—it's about presenting yourself in a way that demonstrates your leadership, confidence, and professionalism. Here are some key tips to ensure you look the part while staying comfortable: Classic and Tailored: Opt for clothing that is well-fitted. Tailoring is key to convey attention to detail and professionalism. Subtle Accessories: Keep accessories minimal but impactful. We're looking for polish without being distracting. Grooming Matters: The goal is to look well put-together from head to toe. Know the Company Culture: Research the company's dress code. Some industries, like tech, may lean more business-casual, while others may expect full business attire. First impressions are everything at this level—dress to reflect your leadership and professionalism. Remember, confidence comes from looking AND feeling your best! #ExecutiveInterview #ProfessionalStyle #Leadership #InterviewTips #CareerGrowth

this tip is always a winner. If you have a presentation coming up this week, remember that you can use your computer screen as a bit of a cheat sheet. 🌟 Only one idea per post it note 🌟 Think of keywords you want to be sure you bring to mind for that call or meeting - write them here 🌟 Write whatever will help motivate you to be old, clear, and get to the end of the call in a timely fashion. This is a great place to dot down your quick agenda! ❌ Not a place for your full script!) --------- To learn more about us and how we can elevate you, email Cindy Skalicky cindy@onpoint-communications.com or DM her here.

This is a picture of an old simulator from a drivers Education class in High School - circa 1990s. It's on sale at eBay somewhere - what a hunk of ... ! We put clients in a much cooler simulator, it's developed with AI and combined with our expertise in helping you improve, the simulator is a way to advance you fast. 🌟What exactly IS a simulator? Simulators help us practice before we go out into the real thing, they help us drive a car before we actually get out on the road. In our simulators, that means we are role-playing conversations with you, practicing Q&A sessions with you, and rehearsing storylines for feedback and providing additional data points. Anyone out there remember using this kind of simulator - pictured below - to learn to drive? Science and tech leaders - what are you using NOW to learn to improve your presentation skills? To learn more about our simulators, email Cindy Skalicky at cindy@onpoint-communications.com or DM her here.

We knew nothing about the ocean," she said about the pair's experience prior to rowing the Atlantic Ocean a few years back. After the grueling 37 days of fighting to make it to the finish line, Oliver said crossing it was an "unbelievable" feeling. What about you?
