Okay, this episode is indeed about makeup so if that's not your jam, feel free to skip this one. Why am I talking about makeup? Because it plays a role in the day-to-day lives of many marketers. And while it seems trivial, and to some extent it is, there is still a lot of thought that goes into putting on makeup and considering how others may perceive it.
I share some of the thoughts and questions that run through my head before I represent a company at a conference or present myself in interviews and meetings. I'd love to hear your thoughts as well! Do you see makeup as a form of self-expression? Does it boost your confidence? Or does it perpetuate patriarchal gender stereotypes? What kind of thoughts (positive or negative) run through your head when you get ready for work? -
