We are all in different places and walks in life. Some of us have a good understanding, some of us are still learning. Your environment can affect your attitude and approach. What is perfect for one would be out of place for another. My environment is supposedly work-appropriate attire, but all too often I see people looking like they're ready for Walmart. I've seen directors show up to interview prospective employees in T shirts, raggedy jeans and tennis shoes. Because of this, I'm not wearing a suit to work. If I did, I'd fit in even less than I do now. I'm one of the better dressed men in my building, even though some here would consider my outfits casual. I'd love to step it up a little more, but it just wouldn't fit the environment. What about you? What's your environment, how do you stand out and what would you change if you could?

No suit today, I am in the office again to catch up with the ANZ Big and Growth Manager, that is a step down from the last group I met, but was set up by the CEO and Manager of Growth. I also had a hair cut and cutthroat razor shave yesterday at my barbers, I really enjoyed that, and it was also why there was the extra stubble in yesterdays post. Todays outfit consists of M.J.
