Going to an MBA Women’s Conference in a few weeks where the dress code was just shared as business formal. Ladies, where are your favorite places to get cute navy blue or gray power suit separates? I’ve always been the sleek, all black dresser, so need to expand my wardrobe. Also, can I get away with being a little more fun with my clothing choices or is it frowned upon? I definitely lean more toward the Vince and Aritzia staples rather than a classic business look.

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA.

This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.
