I have been fortunate to work with Carole Hyder as a client for a long time. Carole is an international teacher, author and businessperson who specializes in Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of balancing the energies in your home and work. I’ve already written about the power of wearing red underwear if you’re going to be on TV but there’s more fashion Feng Shui you can use for a really big day, whether it’s a speech, an important meeting, conference or anywhere you need to be at your best. Whether it works because it works, or it works because it’s all in your head (and really, what’s the difference) it works. First let me tell you a little story and then I’ll tell you how to do it.
Several years ago I was going to a conference in Los Angeles that involved all the biggest TV production companies, networks and major influencers in the industry. It was important that I make as many contacts as I could but I was really intimidated – my business was fairly new and I felt like a bumpkin. I mentioned my apprehension to Carole, who gave me a simple way to incorporate something from each of the five “elements” into my wardrobe. That way, Carole said, people would be attracted to ME…I wouldn’t have to do anything special.
