The Art of the Suit
Welcome to the Art of the Suit a show filled with ideas, insights and interviews to help you build your commercial and personal brand. Compiled and presented by Dawn Klatzko, a “recovering” adwoman (yes, you guessed it, I was a Suit rather than a Creative), Business & Executive Coach, Master Trainer for Mind Dynamix, author and the proud owner of a very inquisitive brain. The first series of episodes cover extracts from my book, The Art of the Suit, that you can use to help your business survive and thrive in these challenging times. This will be followed by a series extracted from Anatomy of a Personal Brand - a process to not only develop your Personal Brand but also learn a technique to help you rewind, repackage and reinvent to remain resilient and relevant. Subscribe to ensure you don’t miss out on practical knowledge you can use.
