organisations, which explains why we can love
our job in one company but feel out of sorts in
the same role in another.
When you understand who you are and how
to express it visually, you are more likely to feel
harmonious and balanced within your own
workplace. This leads to success, on your own
terms.
So just who are you? One way to find out is
to take our Essential Way of Being Quiz. Once
you have your result, consider the following
personas to see if we’ve nailed down your own
essence!

still, deep, introspective, you go with the flow,

clothing needs to give you FREEDOM.
