Ep #286: Unlock Your Signature Leadership Style with Susana Perczek
Your leadership shows up long before you ever say a word.
That’s why this week’s episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer is all about unlocking your signature leadership style—inside and out. I sat down with the incredible Susana Perczek, a corporate stylist who’s spent more than a decade helping C-suite women turn their personal style into a true strategic advantage. And trust me—this conversation will completely change how you think about showing up as a leader.
We dive into how your wardrobe can become an extension of your confidence, values, and voice. You’ll learn why the impression you make before you speak matters, how to treat your style as a form of communication—not decoration—and how to use fashion to connect, lead, and inspire. Susana shares powerful advice for dressing strategically for high-stakes interviews (including subtle ways to weave in company branding), choosing meaningful accessories that tell your story, and showing up just as powerfully on Zoom as you do in person.
And yes, the stories are as fun as they are insightful. Like the time Susana literally sold clothes off her own body in a high-end store because clients loved her style so much—or how she’s now passed that same boldness down to her daughter, a young executive at Amazon. Together, we explore how creativity, self-expression, and authenticity aren’t “extras” in leadership—they’re essential.
If you’re ready to show up with more confidence, presence, and power—this episode will help you tap into your unique leadership style and wear your story proudly.
