Professional image and self-confidence play a critical role in career success. The professional landscape has shifted dramatically since COVID, leaving many professionals, regardless of their tenure, genuinely confused about current dress standards and how to present themselves effectively.
This vital aspect of professional development is often overlooked and rarely formally taught or discussed. Yet, it is fundamental to making strong first impressions, building credibility, and fostering an undeniable sense of confidence.
That is why I’ve created specialized workshops to address this exact need. My signature talks, “Dress for the Success You Deserve: Owning Your Personal Brand Through Style” and “First Impressions Matter: Style Strategies to Make a Lasting Impact,” are designed to empower professionals at all levels. My interactive presentations ensure attendees are set up for success to be their most confident selves and truly dress for the success they deserve.

Testimonials
“Ley was an engaging and approachable speaker for our firm’s Women’s Alliance Group. We hosted a hybrid meeting, and even our virtual attendees connected with her energy and enthusiasm for helping women feel comfortable and excited about developing or refining their professional style. Even with a large group, Ley fostered an atmosphere where people felt comfortable participating and asking questions. Her in-presentation give aways and attendee bags made this feel less like a typical corporate meeting and more like a really fun gathering with your most stylish friend. Ley was easy to coordinate with in the lead up to our meeting and she provided specific links to address questions raised in the discussion with a resource list to share with our group afterwards. I’d highly recommend working with Ley for corporate presentations!” –Alex M., Counsel, Gordon Feinblatt LLC
“As one of the Assistant Attorneys General who helps organize the Office of the Attorney General’s Thurgood Marshall Clerkship Program (TMCP)—which places first-generation and/or underrepresented law students in agency units for 10 weeks—I wanted to highlight professional style as part of our career development programming. When Letam shared her personal styling business with me, I knew she would be the perfect person to speak to our clerks about dressing professionally without losing their individual style. She delivered exactly that. Letam engaged the clerks with an informative, interactive session and provided each of them with a keepsake bag that included a measuring tape and practical style tips. The clerks asked thoughtful questions and left with valuable tools to help them present themselves with confidence as they launch their legal careers. Our team plans to bring Letam back to speak to our clerks next year.” –Tiffany D., Assistant Attorney General, Maryland Office of the Attorney General

“Ley is a dynamic and uplifting presenter. She delivered an amazing talk on effortless styling. She provided attendees with immediately actionable steps they can implement in their lives. The audience received a ton of value. I look forward to having Ley back to present on another topic very soon.” –Caterina R., Founder, Thriving Women in Business
“Letam spoke at the Riveters Law Club and wowed the crowd of incredibly accomplished lawyers with her discussion of professional style. Letam speaks about style in a way that makes it relatable to the busy professional who has likely spent a lot of time worrying about how to get to work rather than how to look at work. She explains how to feel comfortable in your own skin and clothes no matter what event it is or where it is. If you are a person who has always felt that fashion was not ‘for you’, you haven’t met Letam. She works with you to use how you present yourself in a way that somehow makes it both strategic and effortless. Every time I go out in an outfit that gets complimented my friends all know what is coming next, ‘Letam inspired me’!” –Sarah D., Founding Mother, Riveters Law Club
“Ley presented for a group from our Women’s Initiative. A friend of the firm and our attorneys recommended Ley and her workshop. She had also previously worked with many other Baltimore firms and organizations. Our group enjoyed hearing from someone in the same field as them on what to wear and how to best present themselves. Ley came with real life examples and photos of how she handles different situations and uses the same pieces for different occasions. She had great answers to the questions and was very interactive!” –Katlyn P., Events Manager, Gallagher Evelius & Jones LLP
“Letam spoke to my organization about styling and how it can be used in the legal field. She gave great tips and tricks on how we can all have fun with our fashion and add our personal to style to every occasion.
