In episode 16, Dan is speaking with Nick Hems, a salesperson who swapped product packaging for people packaging to help people create opportunities through appearance and first impressions. Nick works with businesspeople who are realising that their physical appearance can be the key that unlocks the next step in their career. Whether they are needing to move from back office to client facing, start to give presentations in front of key decision makers, or generally want to feel more confident in their appearance, Nick helps them figure out how their clothes choices can help maximise their opportunities. In this episode, Nick guides Dan through many of the discussions he has with clients regarding clothing choices, and they dive into more detail in the following topics:

• Why you need to consciously decide on what to wear as we transition back to the office
• How do you balance what is smart casual versus what is acceptable for clients
• Why what you wear impacts your performance as a salesperson and presenter
• Which is more important - style or function?
• How important is the fit of your clothes, and how to make clothes fit effectively
• What are the 5 F’s to consider when it comes to choosing what to wear
• How important is visual appearance on Zoom calls?

If you are someone who is planning on spending more time face-to-face with clients, or are starting to realise that maybe you need to pay more attention to the physical aspect of delivering your messages, this is a great episode for you. 

About Nick Hems

Nick Hems began his Men’s Personal Styling journey at London College of Style in 2019 and since then Nick has featured regularly in Men’s styling blogs, national newspapers, radio and magazines. 

With a background in corporate sales and marketing, Nick swapped product packaging for people packaging to build a business based around his true passion in helping people create opportunities and release their potential through appearance and first impressions.

Nick primarily works with male entrepreneurs and business leaders to organise their wardrobes for both their personal and professional lives. He believes that personal style, communication, and presentation have a significant impact on the opportunities and outcomes we create. Nick also specialises in fashion psychology and advanced colour theory.

Nick has witnessed the benefits of coming from a career outside of fashion when it has come to connecting with and engaging with his growing male customer base. Often using the phrase ‘function over fashion’ Nick realises that many male clients often put the overall result of having a new wardrobe over the feeling it gives them when first enquiring.

“It’s a beautiful thing when clients realise that their purchases haven’t simply solved a clothing issue, but have made them feel more confident and proud of the person steering at them in the mirror”. “There’s always a magic moment, and that’s when you both know, the job is good one”.
