10. 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!

12. 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?
Gisele Feldman
