This understanding allows us to choose garments that perfectly exhibit our authenticity and elevate our personal brand.

Impact of Color on Branding Success

Incorporating color in our branding strategy can significantly impact our success.

Speaker:

Welcome back to another amazing episode of

Speaker:

Laquita's Toolbox. And I am your host,

Speaker:

Laquita Monley. And you guys, you know the

Speaker:

drill. Those of you that have been

Speaker:

followers of Laquita's toolbox for a long

Speaker:

time, get something to write with and

Speaker:

something to write on because we have a

Speaker:

power pack guest in this studio with us on

Speaker:

today and Miss Patsy Sanders is going to

Speaker:

be dropping some amazing gems. Listens,

Speaker:

ladies and YouTube. Gentlemen, I know that

everybody is interested in learning how to

Speaker:

grow both personally and professionally.

Speaker:

And Miss Patsy has some tools for us. She

Speaker:

is an international stylist. So get those

Speaker:

pencils, get those pens. Even if you got

Speaker:

crayons, it doesn't matter. Just get

Speaker:

something to write with and take notes.

Speaker:

And she's going to give us wisdom on why

Speaker:

our personal style is imperative to

Speaker:

building an effective personal brand as

Speaker:

well as our business brand. But before we

Speaker:

get started with having the conversation

Speaker:

with Ms. Patsy, let me take a moment to

Speaker:

thank our sponsors at Covenant Press.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Hello, Miss Patsy. Hello. How are you? I'm

Speaker:

wonderful. Good morning. How are you,

Speaker:

Lakita? I am doing well. I cannot

Speaker:

complain. I cannot complain. One of my

Speaker:

favorite scriptures is this is the day

Speaker:

that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and

Speaker:

be glad in it. And that is absolutely what

Speaker:

I'm doing. I am rejoicing and I am glad in

Speaker:

the Lord on today. And I'm excited because

Speaker:

I'm not one that just preaches things. I'm

Speaker:

one that also follows instructions. So

Speaker:

everybody got there something to write

Speaker:

with and write on. And I do too, my handy

Speaker:

dandy notebook today to take some notes on

Speaker:

some of the things that you're going to

Speaker:

share with us. And so without any further

Speaker:

ado, take the moment and let the listeners

Speaker:

know who you are and what you do. Well,

Speaker:

thank you. I'm so privileged to be here

Speaker:

and excited to share. So my name is Patsy

Speaker:

Sanders and I have a company called

Speaker:

embracing your essence and I actually

Speaker:

rebranded myself once I experienced the

Speaker:

element color reveal color type assistant

Speaker:

for myself I've been doing hair for five

Speaker:

plus decades. I won a scholarship to go to

Speaker:

beauty college out of high school because

Speaker:

that's all I ever wanted to do. And I love

Speaker:

making people look great. I've always

Speaker:

loved that. So it's kind of been my

Speaker:

trajectory. And about 16 or 17 years ago,

Speaker:

my husband and I moved to a town above San

Speaker:

Francisco because he had lost a job. He's

Speaker:

worked there in a mill. He'd worked there

Speaker:

for 40 plus years and the company sold.

Speaker:

And so we thought, well, our daughter and

Speaker:

son in law were going to having their

Speaker:

first baby. I want to be by my grandbaby.

Speaker:

So we decided to move down by them. My

Speaker:

biggest challenge at that time was I was

Speaker:

extremely overweight and miserable and so

Speaker:

Bud was old and I was fat and we were

Speaker:

trying to get jobs and I had never

Speaker:

experienced prejudice in that realm. You

Speaker:

can tell when people are judging you

Speaker:

without saying a word and if you're

Speaker:

overweight, absolutely. Something wrong

Speaker:

with you, right? I just said, God, I don't

Speaker:

know what to do. I've died it off. Not for

Speaker:

35 years. I don't know what to do next. So

Speaker:

I guess I'll just be a fat grandma. And I

Speaker:

met somebody who introduced me to a twelve

Speaker:

step program for food. And I went from a

Speaker:

size 2022 to a six, eight in eight months

Speaker:

following. And now I'm about 810. And I'm

Speaker:

still in this program 14 years later, 15

Speaker:

years later. But I've been able to keep it

Speaker:

pretty much off. I've gained up to the.

Speaker:

I'm a size 810 now, but I'm older and your

Speaker:

hormones change and whatever, but I very

Speaker:

much plugged into this twelve step program

Speaker:

because it changed my life. I became the

Speaker:

woman I would see in my head and I find

Speaker:

her every now and then she'd go away. And

Speaker:

I did not realize that I had a food

Speaker:

addiction. And so this twelve step program

Speaker:

helped me walk through that and have

Speaker:

freedom on the other side. So I am so

Speaker:

grateful to just be myself, just to be who

Speaker:

I am and who I always wanted to be. But I

Speaker:

didn't know it was a journey God was going

Speaker:

to take me on. And I'm grateful. I'm

Speaker:

grateful that I found that. So that was

Speaker:

the start of my own little transformation,

Speaker:

getting there. And the other thing that

Speaker:

was fascinating is now I now was able to

Speaker:

find friends. Friends that you could tell

Speaker:

them how fat you are and how old you are

Speaker:

and they don't care. As I finally found a

Speaker:

place to work, I then started getting

Speaker:

clients from even just our new friendships

Speaker:

and stuff. So one of those women was a

Speaker:

speaker trainer, and her and her husband

Speaker:

became my clients. And she said, patsy,

Speaker:

I'm having a training. Would you come and

Speaker:

do the hair? My stylist does the image

Speaker:

stylist, embracing your element. And I

Speaker:

said, sure, I'd be happy to do that. And

Speaker:

I'd had my colors done years ago in the

Speaker:

early eighty s. I don't know if you've

Speaker:

ever had that done, but I haven't. I

Speaker:

haven't, actually. So I was classified as

Speaker:

a winter, and back then it went by what

Speaker:

your hair color was, your eye color, and

Speaker:

your skin tone. So that kind of puts you

Speaker:

in a category. And I was a winter. I even

Speaker:

got trained to do that at work for quite a

Speaker:

while. And it kind of came and went. So

Speaker:

I'd been dressing over 20 years in those

Speaker:

colors. And so I had purple highlights on

Speaker:

my hair and I wore black. Being a

Speaker:

hairdresser, most time we would just wear

Speaker:

black. And so black and jewel tones, those

Speaker:

are my colors. And I thought, oh, this

Speaker:

will be fun. So I go, and the stylist

Speaker:

would say, so, patsy, each one of the four

Speaker:

elements, air, fire, water, and earth,

Speaker:

they each have a shape. And so I'm going

Speaker:

to have you reshape their hair a little

Speaker:

bit to go alignment with their color type.

Speaker:

And I said, great. So she said, give them

Speaker:

a bang. I do that here, give them an angle

Speaker:

cut, do some layers. And so whatever she

Speaker:

asked me to do, I do. And she goes, oh,

Speaker:

this is great. Then my girlfriend says,

Speaker:

hey, patsy, Barb's so excited and so

Speaker:

grateful you helped her today. She offered

Speaker:

a color type, you and the elements. I

Speaker:

said, oh, no, I'm good. I know how to look

Speaker:

good. I know how to dress nice. And I did

Speaker:

know how to dress nice. And she said,

Speaker:

yeah, but, patsy, you've been complaining

Speaker:

to me a lot lately that things aren't

Speaker:

going so well in your business. Wonder if

Speaker:

what you're wearing is stopping people

Speaker:

from working with you. Well, I knew I

Speaker:

could be open to possibilities and a

Speaker:

little vulnerable, or I could keep

Speaker:

struggling. So to make her happy, I just

Speaker:

said, okay, I'll get color type in the

Speaker:

elements, but I don't want to be that

Speaker:

fire. Well, guess what? I was a fire. And

Speaker:

I was not a happy camper. So then the

Speaker:

stylist went on to explain this. She goes,

Speaker:

patsy, in the 80s, when they first started

Speaker:

doing the seasonal color typing, it was

Speaker:

great. It helped us to know what season to

Speaker:

get to buy our clothes in and what colors

Speaker:

we should wear, and we've all looked nice.

Speaker:

But today, people know more of who they

Speaker:

are. They want to be authentically

Speaker:

themselves. They want to their own unique

Speaker:

personality and styles and colors. And she

Speaker:

said, the element color typing system is

Speaker:

really based on your natural gifts, your

Speaker:

natural character traits, and your

Speaker:

physical features. And when I draped you

Speaker:

in the right colors, your eyes lit up and

Speaker:

looked like. It's like seeing the window

Speaker:

to your soul. If you could just see how

Speaker:

beautiful you look. And I started crying.

Speaker:

I thought, oh, my God, what is the matter

Speaker:

with me? Wow. And she said, patsy, let's

Speaker:

do this. I want you to understand that

Speaker:

every one of the four elements, and we

Speaker:

have all those in us that we utilize, but

Speaker:

everybody has a core element which fire,

Speaker:

the characteristic of a fire is a mover

Speaker:

and shaker. They get stuff done. And when

Speaker:

she said that, I knew that's who I was,

Speaker:

right? That's how I. And so she said,

Speaker:

let's just go shopping in a consignment

Speaker:

store, buy a few new tops, and if people

Speaker:

don't treat you differently, you don't

Speaker:

have to do this. Fine, I'll do that. And

Speaker:

so bought a few tops. And when I started

Speaker:

wearing them to the salon, my clients

Speaker:

started saying, wow, patsy, you look

Speaker:

pretty today. Wow, Patsy, you look really

Speaker:

nice today. Over and over and over. Then

Speaker:

about a week later, the salon owner said

Speaker:

to me, patsy, what are you doing different

Speaker:

lately? You just look amazing. Now,

Speaker:

listen, I still had purple highlights in

Speaker:

my hair, and I had dark, dark hair. And I

Speaker:

said, I changed my tops. She goes, well,

Speaker:

whatever you're doing, it looks really

Speaker:

great. I was fascinated, and I realized

Speaker:

that that was a service I thought would be

Speaker:

great to add to my hairstyling business.

Speaker:

Starting over in a new town. There was

Speaker:

tons of salons on every corner. And

Speaker:

somebody asked me, well, what sets you

Speaker:

apart as a hairdresser? And I thought, oh,

Speaker:

I don't know. One hairdresser that is

Speaker:

doing color typing and adding that to give

Speaker:

a total makeover. So I decided to get

Speaker:

trained by the image stylist. And during

Speaker:

my training, she got very ill. I end up

Speaker:

managing her business for two years. And

Speaker:

then six years ago, she sold me the

Speaker:

business. Now, I think has a sense of

Speaker:

humor I didn't want to be. Now I own the

Speaker:

darn business. What happened to me was

Speaker:

such a dramatic change in my business and

Speaker:

how people treated me. I thought, how does

Speaker:

this work? This is fascinating. So as I'm

Speaker:

starting to build my own little wardrobe,

Speaker:

my friend that's a speaker trainer said,

Speaker:

patsy, would you come help me out at an

Speaker:

event and work the back table and greet

Speaker:

people and they come in and do that. I

Speaker:

said, sure, I'd love to do that. And so I

Speaker:

found this beautiful peach colored Alphony

Speaker:

top. And I'll show you here online what it

Speaker:

looks like. It's very light, right? It's

Speaker:

kind of in here, right here. And I found a

Speaker:

duster to match it. I thought, well, that

Speaker:

goes nice together. And I thought, okay,

Speaker:

I'm going to get my style book out and

Speaker:

say, well, what energy does that? I didn't

Speaker:

quite understand the energy and the

Speaker:

harmonics of color, right? So I said,

Speaker:

okay, I'll read this. So it's in the flesh

Speaker:

tone strip in my color palette, and it

Speaker:

says these closest to your natural skin

Speaker:

tone and allow other access to your heart

Speaker:

and with purity conveying openness, deep

Speaker:

connection, intimacy, trust, comfort and

Speaker:

safety. Well, I thought I wanted people

Speaker:

comfortable and safe approaching me. I'll

Speaker:

just try this out. So I'm setting up the

Speaker:

table. There's another image stylist

Speaker:

that's there, and we were working together

Speaker:

as a team that weekend. She walked into

Speaker:

the room that morning and said, patsy, you

Speaker:

look luscious today. I said, I do, yeah. I

Speaker:

said, thank you. I wore the same outfits

Speaker:

three weeks later to a networking event.

Speaker:

And I had a lady come up to me that I

Speaker:

didn't know very well. She said, pastor,

Speaker:

you look radiant tonight. I said, thank

Speaker:

you. Neither time had I said a word I

Speaker:

started to understand. Color has energy.

Speaker:

To me, it's magical. Like color has

Speaker:

influence without us even realizing. It's

Speaker:

sort of a subconscious thing. We don't

Speaker:

anything without considering the color

Speaker:

color. Buying a car, painting a wall,

Speaker:

buying furniture, bed spread. Like, if you

Speaker:

think about how much color influences your

Speaker:

life, it would be fascinating for you to

Speaker:

think, oh, that's true. And then what

Speaker:

colors are you most drawn to? Right? So I

Speaker:

was floored by that and I doubled my

Speaker:

business. Two years. And the part that was

Speaker:

most amazing is now people in the network

Speaker:

group and in the community now, they

Speaker:

started wanting to work with me and not

Speaker:

before. So then as I studied and grew in

Speaker:

my business, I realized I was hiding in

Speaker:

plain sight, wearing black, energetic,

Speaker:

hard for people to connect with me, and I

Speaker:

became way more comfortable in my own skin

Speaker:

and just appreciating who I was as a

Speaker:

person. And I think a lot of us don't. And

Speaker:

as I started building my beautiful

Speaker:

wardrobe, everything I wore in my closet

Speaker:

mixed and matched, and I didn't have to

Speaker:

have as much stuff. So now my closet

Speaker:

became an investment in who I'm being in

Speaker:

my business. And I think a lot of times we

Speaker:

don't realize that what you wear really

Speaker:

matters. And what colors you wear are

Speaker:

actually a drawing card for people to

Speaker:

connect with you easier. Appearances

Speaker:

matter. It's really the bridge of

Speaker:

connection. Right. What you wear really

Speaker:

gives another people an insight about who

Speaker:

you are, who you're being in the world.

Speaker:

Right. I'm sitting here just thinking

Speaker:

about so many different things in terms of

Speaker:

color. That is a whole education that I

Speaker:

had not even thought about. And I would

Speaker:

probably. This is what I'm going to do.

Speaker:

I'm going to ask the listeners. Listen,

Speaker:

guys, as you're listening to this episode,

Speaker:

give us some feedback. Let us know what

Speaker:

you think about the things that Patsy has

Speaker:

shared with us so far about color typing

Speaker:

and how color influences us subconsciously

Speaker:

in every aspect of our lives, whether

Speaker:

we're business owners or if you are an

Speaker:

employee or a work from home mom, it

Speaker:

doesn't matter like the colors that wear,

Speaker:

because what I'm picking up from what you

Speaker:

just said is what we wear should get us,

Speaker:

or should be. We should think about what

Speaker:

we're wearing when we want to get specific

Speaker:

results. Yes. Right. In your bedroom.

Speaker:

You're giving a message to the world by

Speaker:

what you're wearing. And if you understand

Speaker:

what color is saying without you saying a

Speaker:

word, like hiding a plain sight. The

Speaker:

fashion industry has us totally convinced

Speaker:

that you only look thin and in black, and

Speaker:

everything goes with that. Well, there's

Speaker:

only one of the elements where it really

Speaker:

is a power color for that person. And the

Speaker:

rest of us are kind of just hanging out,

Speaker:

hiding. And I don't think we even have a

Speaker:

consciousness of that. We don't even know.

Speaker:

I love how you said hiding in plain sight,

Speaker:

because that can be applied to so many

Speaker:

different people, so many different people

Speaker:

where we've all been taught to dress to

Speaker:

impress. Okay, got it. I can do that. But

Speaker:

even. It doesn't matter if I spend $5,000

Speaker:

on the outfit, if I'm understanding what

Speaker:

you're saying, if it's the wrong outfit

Speaker:

for the occasion, and I'm not just talking

Speaker:

about the type of clothes, but if the

Speaker:

color patterns that we pick for that

Speaker:

outfit aren't the right color patterns, it

Speaker:

doesn't matter about the quality of the

Speaker:

material used to make the dress or the

Speaker:

suit. I'm still not going to get the

Speaker:

results that I'm looking for. Because the

Speaker:

color isn't personifying that or

Speaker:

amplifying that to my intended audience.

Speaker:

Right. Well, I have to tell you that when

Speaker:

you know what to shop for and you know

Speaker:

what is your best color palette, it makes

Speaker:

it easy for you to feel confident. I have,

Speaker:

65% of my clients hate to shop. They don't

Speaker:

know where to go. They're not happy with

Speaker:

their body size, so they hate even giving

Speaker:

it, going out there and doing that. But

Speaker:

you have to get dressed every day. You

Speaker:

have to come out of the bedroom. And if

Speaker:

you're building a business, you have to be

Speaker:

online or be out in public, or if you're a

Speaker:

speaker and being on stage, you want to be

Speaker:

so attractive that people cannot wait to

Speaker:

hear what you have to say, whether you're

Speaker:

on Zoom or live at an event. So the

Speaker:

confidence is what's lacking, I think, for

Speaker:

especially a lot of us women today,

Speaker:

everybody knows how to dress nice. We all

Speaker:

know how to look good. But do you look

Speaker:

amazing? Do you turn heads when you walk

Speaker:

into the room? That's the difference. I

Speaker:

get compliments. It's been eight years,

Speaker:

and I still get compliments all the time,

Speaker:

which blows my mind. So let me ask your

Speaker:

listeners this. Think about this,

Speaker:

listeners. What percentage of your closet,

Speaker:

of your wardrobe do you actually wear on a

Speaker:

regular basis? That's a good question.

Speaker:

Now, I'm thinking, I'm not going to say it

Speaker:

out loud, and I'm glad my husband isn't

Speaker:

here for this recording. The national

Speaker:

average is 20%. There might be 15 20% or

Speaker:

special occasions or a certain time of the

Speaker:

year or whatever, but we do have about 50%

Speaker:

to 60% that we don't wear. We buy stuff.

Speaker:

We wear it one time or two times. And

Speaker:

subconsciously, if you don't get a

Speaker:

compliment and it's not really comfortable

Speaker:

on you, you don't feel amazing in it. It

Speaker:

just goes in the back of your closet. So a

Speaker:

lot of people have closet overwhelm. You

Speaker:

don't even want to address it because it's

Speaker:

just like you don't even know where to

Speaker:

start. And that's what I love about the

Speaker:

work I do. We take all the guesswork out.

Speaker:

Once we establish what your main core

Speaker:

element is of air, fire, water, earth,

Speaker:

then you get a color palette. This is

Speaker:

mine. This is all the fire colors, right.

Speaker:

And on the back, it has what each strip is

Speaker:

for. So it has patterns and foundation and

Speaker:

metals and dynamic and tranquils. Like,

Speaker:

every one of those strips has a purpose.

Speaker:

Right. You walk into your closet and you

Speaker:

think, okay, I'm speaking today. I'm going

Speaker:

to wear a foundation because that's my

Speaker:

expert colors and I'm going to wear solid.

Speaker:

So people are looking at me, not in some

Speaker:

bold color or pattern that's distracting

Speaker:

to the eye because we do get distracted

Speaker:

easy. It's hard to keep people's

Speaker:

attention. It is. And this is really

Speaker:

powerful here. People make an assessment

Speaker:

today about you. In the first three to 5

Speaker:

seconds, they see you and 50% is on what

Speaker:

you're wearing, according to Harvard

Speaker:

Business School. Wow, we must dress

Speaker:

properly all the time. Yes. You want to

Speaker:

walk, you want to get in your closet and

Speaker:

think, I'm just hanging out in the house

Speaker:

today, but I'm kind of off. I think I'm

Speaker:

going to wear a tranquil. Because when you

Speaker:

wear a tranquil, you feel calm and

Speaker:

tranquil and people around you feel the

Speaker:

same energy. So they can approach you

Speaker:

without you being cranky. Right. Or if you

Speaker:

just want to be whatever you want to be

Speaker:

that day and you're going to go out and

Speaker:

about, you want to wear something you feel

Speaker:

great in. Greedy. That's the energy you

Speaker:

bring to the day. And so you get to choose

Speaker:

the energy you want to bring to your life

Speaker:

that day and what you're doing and the

Speaker:

people around you. And business is all

Speaker:

about connection and building, that know

Speaker:

like and trust factor. And when you look

Speaker:

amazing all the time, then people know

Speaker:

that they can trust you to make them look

Speaker:

amazing, look amazing. You're going to

Speaker:

work with them. So this works. I've done

Speaker:

it for many. So listen, Ms. Patsy, because

Speaker:

I got a couple of questions, but before I

Speaker:

ask you those questions, please let the

Speaker:

listeners know how they can reach out and

Speaker:

connect with you to find out what their

Speaker:

color type is. Okay, so let's just have a

Speaker:

chat, right? So if you go to my website,

Speaker:

embracingyouressence.com, you'll have a

Speaker:

link here and click on let's chat. Let's

Speaker:

have a session together. Let's do a Zoom

Speaker:

call. Let's see where you're at in your

Speaker:

life and what are your challenges and how

Speaker:

can I help you. Then we'll know where to

Speaker:

start. And I have to promise you that

Speaker:

everybody that I've worked with, even if

Speaker:

it's a subtle change, it's dramatic for

Speaker:

them. It should be fun being you. And I

Speaker:

take the guesswork out and I work with you

Speaker:

personally, one on one, depending on how

Speaker:

we work, whatever package you want to use.

Speaker:

But it will be transformative. My friends,

Speaker:

my clients, now call me the

Speaker:

transformational specialist, because it's

Speaker:

more about who you are inside. So I found

Speaker:

this verse, and I'm going to share this

Speaker:

with you because I love this. In song of

Speaker:

Solomon 47, this is what God says about

Speaker:

us. You are beautiful beyond compare.

Speaker:

Absolutely flawless. That's how we were

Speaker:

born, and that's how he created us. But

Speaker:

that's not how we feel today about

Speaker:

ourselves, especially women. We're

Speaker:

multitasking. We're doing 49 things, and

Speaker:

we don't know how to deal with our

Speaker:

emotions. And so a lot of times, we eat

Speaker:

over and run around. We don't take care of

Speaker:

ourselves. We don't eat three meals a day.

Speaker:

We just let life take over. And when you

Speaker:

get centered on taking care of you and get

Speaker:

dressed in the morning and feeling great

Speaker:

about yourself, you have all the energy

Speaker:

you need to be able to give away whatever

Speaker:

you have to give away that day. There's a

Speaker:

huge shift in allowing yourself to be

Speaker:

beautiful every single day, whether it's

Speaker:

casual or in business or you're going out

Speaker:

with a bunch of girlfriends. It should be

Speaker:

fun. It should be fun. I totally agree.

Speaker:

Now, you gave us some information about

Speaker:

the fire type. How many more types are

Speaker:

there, and what do they mean? Okay, so

Speaker:

I'll just show you some. When I bought

Speaker:

this business, I realized it needed to be

Speaker:

up leveled. So I created these four

Speaker:

different style guidebooks that go with

Speaker:

each one of the elements. And it tells you

Speaker:

about all your energetic words. There's a

Speaker:

whole page of energetic words, and then

Speaker:

there tells you how to use each of the

Speaker:

strips and what makeup you should wear and

Speaker:

what jewelry you should wear and the shape

Speaker:

of your glasses and lots and lots of

Speaker:

information in there. And so then

Speaker:

recently, I created this with a friend.

Speaker:

That is really amazing. These are all four

Speaker:

of the element types, and they're called

Speaker:

bounce and blend. Little half fans. And so

Speaker:

when I color type you, we send a kit. I

Speaker:

sent you a style kit. We do it over Zoom,

Speaker:

and these will be included, and you'll be

Speaker:

able to start before you ever get your

Speaker:

fabric fan in person. So I'll just share

Speaker:

what each little color palette is. And

Speaker:

really what's core about this is the

Speaker:

character trait. Finding your core element

Speaker:

helps us to find out what your core

Speaker:

character trait is, where you shine in the

Speaker:

world. So here's the first one. This is

Speaker:

air. So these are all the bright, warm,

Speaker:

luscious colors of spring, right? And so

Speaker:

they bring, their energy is like bubbly,

Speaker:

light, crisp, quick, buoyant, spontaneous.

Speaker:

That kind of energy. Their natural

Speaker:

character trait is they're the visionary.

Speaker:

So many ideas, they can't even hardly keep

Speaker:

their heads together. They may have lots

Speaker:

of things going on, and they're kind of

Speaker:

sunshine when they walk into the room.

Speaker:

Like, basically, I'm just giving you

Speaker:

generalized. Right. Then the next one is

Speaker:

earth. And these are all the cool tones of

Speaker:

wintertime. They're the pure tones of

Speaker:

black, red, white, those type of colors.

Speaker:

And the energetic words are, like, still

Speaker:

serene, striking, elegant, balanced,

Speaker:

reflective. Those are the words. And the

Speaker:

gift of the earth is, they're the editor.

Speaker:

They can come into a situation, or when

Speaker:

they come into a room, they just take it

Speaker:

all in, and they can see what needs to be

Speaker:

improved or changed. A lot of great

Speaker:

coaches are earth because they can see the

Speaker:

beginning and the end and figure out how

Speaker:

to put it together. Then there's me, fire,

Speaker:

all the fall colors. And our energetic

Speaker:

words are fast, dynamic, staccato,

Speaker:

focused, burnished, like we're moving

Speaker:

shakers. We get stuff done right. So

Speaker:

that's what's really fun about that, is

Speaker:

when you know that you're that kind of

Speaker:

energy, right. Sometimes you have to tone

Speaker:

it down. Like, you have to wait for all

Speaker:

the instructions instead of running off.

Speaker:

And then the last one is water. And these

Speaker:

are all the beautiful, soft, muted, cool

Speaker:

colors of water, which is summertime. And

Speaker:

the words of the water, relax, flowing,

Speaker:

muted, calming, subdued, romantic. And

Speaker:

their gift of character trait is they are

Speaker:

awesome at process, order, and detail.

Speaker:

What I discovered when I started really

Speaker:

working in this business is we have all

Speaker:

four character traits in us, right? When I

Speaker:

started my business and I started adding

Speaker:

the color typing into my salon business,

Speaker:

and I even rebranded myself because I

Speaker:

realized embracing your essence is

Speaker:

addressing all of you, who you are from

Speaker:

the inside, outside, head to toe. Right.

Speaker:

And so I had all these ideas. My character

Speaker:

trait of the air was, like, all over the

Speaker:

place. Then I started realizing, I need to

Speaker:

write stuff down. I need to have a

Speaker:

website. I need to have content. Oh, my

Speaker:

God. I need to find a water va. I can't do

Speaker:

all this by myself. The character trait of

Speaker:

the water that I embody is I hand make

Speaker:

every single one of those fabric fans for

Speaker:

my. Wow. So, once I mail you your

Speaker:

individual color palette, right now, we

Speaker:

have a digital copy of the style book with

Speaker:

more information in it, and I send it to

Speaker:

you right away. And then when I'd get a

Speaker:

talk together and be in a fire, I had to

Speaker:

go out and give it. I had to go practice.

Speaker:

I had to try it on somebody. Right. And

Speaker:

then one time, I did this one event that I

Speaker:

was working on, and it didn't go so well,

Speaker:

and I wasn't really sure why. So I had to

Speaker:

take a step back and use my editor Earth

Speaker:

character trait to kind of analyze. Where

Speaker:

could that have been better? Where did I

Speaker:

miss out? What did I misstep in here? So I

Speaker:

realized we personally use all those

Speaker:

things in our lives. Yes. My core is a

Speaker:

fire. I am definitely a mover and shaker,

Speaker:

and it's creating balance in my life

Speaker:

that's helped me realize I can just be

Speaker:

myself. I hope you like me, but if you

Speaker:

don't, this is as good as it gets. And I'm

Speaker:

good. Because there are components of

Speaker:

every element in each person. When you

Speaker:

find out what your type is, I guess what

Speaker:

I'm saying is, do we shop for colors that

Speaker:

are specifically just in that? Because

Speaker:

you're fire. You only shop for fire.

Speaker:

You're only fire. You don't mix and match

Speaker:

your hair changes. I have a couple of

Speaker:

people that we had to drastically change

Speaker:

their hair color. Oh, wow. Had magenta

Speaker:

colored hair. Right. And I thought she was

Speaker:

a fire. I never guess because I've been

Speaker:

wrong too many times. And when we color

Speaker:

drape you, that's when I see your eyes

Speaker:

light up, and I find your essence shows

Speaker:

up. But we color typed her, and she was a

Speaker:

water, and her hair should have been her

Speaker:

soft, golden blonde with a few highlights,

Speaker:

and she had magenta hair. And when she

Speaker:

walked into room, what you saw was her

Speaker:

magenta hair. Yeah. So when I explained to

Speaker:

her, here's your color palette, and here's

Speaker:

your energy, and these are your words, I

Speaker:

said, you are so beautiful. I said, but

Speaker:

your magenta hair overtakes you. Well, she

Speaker:

was trying to discover her brand and how

Speaker:

to stand out, and her testimony is on my

Speaker:

website. Anyway, it took her six months

Speaker:

until she was ready to give it a shot. So

Speaker:

she let her hair color fly, faded out, and

Speaker:

went on a big trip in the sun, and she

Speaker:

came back, and I worked with her, helped

Speaker:

her figure out styles. I sent her pictures

Speaker:

from Pinterest, the best looks for her

Speaker:

hair and her hair texture and what she

Speaker:

could do with the different styles. She

Speaker:

had a fabulous hairdresser, and she

Speaker:

changed it. And slowly but surely,

Speaker:

everybody started telling her for the

Speaker:

first time how beautiful she looked. Wow.

Speaker:

And she realized, she said, I thought that

Speaker:

that was part of my brand, but what it did

Speaker:

was stop people from connecting with me.

Speaker:

And so now she charges five times what she

Speaker:

did before, and she told me she makes 20%

Speaker:

more just because she stepped in and

Speaker:

embraced all of her essence. Not part of

Speaker:

it. I know I'm a water, but I can wear

Speaker:

black, right? No, because that is not in

Speaker:

your color palette, and energetically, it

Speaker:

stops people from connecting. It's a crazy

Speaker:

idea, I know, but I have to tell you, all

Speaker:

the clients that I've worked with, it's

Speaker:

been such a dramatic change for them in

Speaker:

the sense that they feel more like their

Speaker:

authentic self. We don't have to worry

Speaker:

about impressing somebody else and hoping

Speaker:

they like us. If we know we look and dress

Speaker:

in a way that represents who we are

Speaker:

authentically and our brand and our

Speaker:

business, it doesn't matter what they

Speaker:

think. It doesn't matter. You already know

Speaker:

you're being your absolute best, right?

Speaker:

It's amazing. For you, the thing that

Speaker:

sparked your transformation was simply

Speaker:

changing a blouse, simply wearing a

Speaker:

different color blouse. And have you ever

Speaker:

been told you look luscious or radiant?

Speaker:

That was such a shock, right? It was a

Speaker:

shock. Right? But don't. And I tell

Speaker:

people, don't be surprised if you start

Speaker:

getting a lot of compliments. People are

Speaker:

going to be seeing you. Now, here's the

Speaker:

story. I think it's really fun to share is

Speaker:

when I first started doing this, and this

Speaker:

is before, way before COVID I had a lady

Speaker:

from my network group call and said, hey,

Speaker:

patsy, I'm ready to work with you. I'm

Speaker:

starting to travel and speak, and I don't

Speaker:

know what to wear, and I want to make

Speaker:

traveling simple. I said, okay. So we

Speaker:

color typed her. She was a water softer.

Speaker:

These beautiful tones. She's very

Speaker:

beautiful. And so one of the sessions we

Speaker:

do after we color type you is we work on

Speaker:

your closet. So we went through her closet

Speaker:

using her color palette and sorting

Speaker:

everything through and everything that

Speaker:

didn't work for her. She said, let's just

Speaker:

lay it on the bed. So we did. And when we

Speaker:

got done with everything, we had put

Speaker:

together a few outfits for her travel, but

Speaker:

then we made a list of the things that she

Speaker:

needed to add and what was missing. Right.

Speaker:

So we were going to work on that together.

Speaker:

And so we're looking at her pile onto her

Speaker:

bed a lot with brand new tags on it. I

Speaker:

said, how do you feel, Ali, about all

Speaker:

those clothes in your bed? How much do you

Speaker:

think is laying there? How much money do

Speaker:

you think you spent? That had to be heavy

Speaker:

in her heart. Three k. I said, how does

Speaker:

that make you feel? She said, totally

Speaker:

frustrated. I go shopping at Macy's or

Speaker:

Nordstrom, and I buy what I think the

Speaker:

fashion tells me that I should wear. And I

Speaker:

wear this and I get it home and I don't

Speaker:

wear it. She goes, I just felt

Speaker:

overwhelmed. And I said, okay, now. And I

Speaker:

told her about our statistic. I said, only

Speaker:

20% people only wear it anyway. Right.

Speaker:

Because you don't know what you don't

Speaker:

know. Now we have a shopping list. Now we

Speaker:

have some outfits that you can start with.

Speaker:

Right. And how does that make you feel? No

Speaker:

one. I'm going to help you. She said, I

Speaker:

feel so relieved. Well, it didn't take

Speaker:

long for her to take off with putting

Speaker:

things together and adding those things

Speaker:

that she needed. And I sent her ideas, I

Speaker:

sent her links, and now she travels all

Speaker:

over. Right. It's just so much fun to help

Speaker:

people feel grounded and knowledgeable

Speaker:

about who they are. Naturally are. Yes.

Speaker:

Listen, guys, I hope you guys have been

Speaker:

taking some, as my husband would say, some

Speaker:

copious notes. I hope you've been taking

Speaker:

some copious notes today because Miss

Speaker:

Patsy has been laying down gems. You need

Speaker:

to have all of these tools in your

Speaker:

toolbox. This conversation should change

Speaker:

the way that you think about color and the

Speaker:

power of color, the meaning of color. What

Speaker:

do I want my message to be now, and what

Speaker:

do I need to do to ensure that that

Speaker:

message is being well received from your

Speaker:

website to the outfits that you wear, the

Speaker:

colors in your office, in your studio,

Speaker:

wherever color is in your everyday life,

Speaker:

and let's just be honest, it's everywhere.

Speaker:

The colors that you're using, they matter,

Speaker:

and they should amplify the message that

Speaker:

you want your intended target audience to

Speaker:

receive. So in some of these cases, like

Speaker:

your client, the changing of the color

Speaker:

gave her, did you say five times an

Speaker:

increase in price? She was able to raise

Speaker:

her prices five times because now she was

Speaker:

speaking on bigger stages because she

Speaker:

looked amazing. Yes. Noticing that. So

Speaker:

that was pretty crazy good. Let me just

Speaker:

give you a few tips. Yes. These are some

Speaker:

of the colors behind here. So the black

Speaker:

represents earth. And when I put that on,

Speaker:

if we can do a little show and tell. Let's

Speaker:

see if I can get this up here. So when I

Speaker:

wear the black, this is not laying. Right.

Speaker:

Just a minute. When I wear the black, can

Speaker:

you see where I kind of have a floating

Speaker:

head? This is not wanting to leave. Right.

Speaker:

So you see the black and then you see my

Speaker:

head kind of like there's a disconnect.

Speaker:

Right? Yes. Black is earth. And then

Speaker:

here's this beautiful dusty rose pink.

Speaker:

Let's see about that. How's that color

Speaker:

look on me? And I've told people, ask

Speaker:

them, and they said, kind of look washed

Speaker:

down, like it kind of doesn't do anything

Speaker:

right. And then, well, what about this

Speaker:

beautiful coral? Oh, my gosh. This is such

Speaker:

a fun color, right? It is. So do you see

Speaker:

the color or me? First? The color? Yeah.

Speaker:

Okay. And then here's the other color. And

Speaker:

this is olive green. Right. Now, do you

Speaker:

see me? Am I what I'm wearing? I'm more

Speaker:

focused on the color. Well, this is my

Speaker:

color, and it makes my skin look clear,

Speaker:

and it makes my eyes stand out. I think

Speaker:

the lighting is not real great with this

Speaker:

stream light. But the highlights in your

Speaker:

hair, I see the color, but the highlights

Speaker:

in your hair, it's like, amplified. And I

Speaker:

noticed the color of your earrings. Now, I

Speaker:

know you had them on the whole time, but I

Speaker:

noticed your earrings. I noticed your hair

Speaker:

more, and I noticed the color. It's a

Speaker:

color I like. Well, there you go. That's

Speaker:

fire. They wear olive greens, those muted,

Speaker:

warm tones. So I just want to tell your

Speaker:

listeners, here's a few great colors that

Speaker:

everybody wears, but I call them the

Speaker:

universal colors. The color I have on now

Speaker:

is teal. And everybody looks great in

Speaker:

teal, right. And then eggplant or wine

Speaker:

colored is a power color, and it's great

Speaker:

when it's solid. Like, if you're speaking

Speaker:

whatever, eggplant is sort of taking over

Speaker:

black, because if you don't wear black,

Speaker:

then what power color can you have? An

Speaker:

eggplant is one of those colors. It's a

Speaker:

purple wine color. And then the other

Speaker:

color is this hunter green that's out at

Speaker:

Christmas time. A green dress, a green

Speaker:

blouse, a green sweater. That's another

Speaker:

power color, and it's universal. Everybody

Speaker:

looks good in it. So that helps you, like,

Speaker:

especially if you're zoom calling. Yes.

Speaker:

The other tip is wear solid colors, don't

Speaker:

wear patterns. I found that when you wear

Speaker:

black, it's a disconnect, right? So you

Speaker:

don't want to do that. And too bold of

Speaker:

patterns. People are looking at your

Speaker:

shirt, and it's a distraction. And then

Speaker:

white, when you wear solid white, the

Speaker:

light makes you look bigger because

Speaker:

bright, it brings it out. So you don't

Speaker:

want that either. So you're better off to

Speaker:

wear a medium tone. Whatever you have

Speaker:

that's solid medium tone, that's a good

Speaker:

place to start. Just go shop your own

Speaker:

closet and see what you can find. You just

Speaker:

really blessed my new set design. I need

Speaker:

you to know that right now before I

Speaker:

forget. This. Wear your eye color. When

Speaker:

you wear your eye color, it makes you more

Speaker:

approachable, really. It takes time to

Speaker:

transform your wardrobe. You're not going

Speaker:

to go out and throw all your clothes away

Speaker:

and start over. You're going to start

Speaker:

adding things in. And I suggest you just

Speaker:

start adding, if you're a guy, a shirt or

Speaker:

a woman, a top. Right. So just start there

Speaker:

and adding one by one and then waiting to

Speaker:

see how. Know when you start wording

Speaker:

colors, people notice you. You get

Speaker:

compliments all the time. I have a gal

Speaker:

that I just signed up that she's amazing.

Speaker:

She is a pretty high up in Mary Kay, and

Speaker:

we're working together and I'm adding her

Speaker:

products to my style kits because I think

Speaker:

you guys need to know what colors to wear.

Speaker:

Yeah. And she ended up getting colors. I

Speaker:

became my client and she ended up being a

Speaker:

fire. Now, she's blonde, right. And she is

Speaker:

sassy and she's fun and she has a high end

Speaker:

wardrobe. But the reason she hired me is

Speaker:

she has 500 clothes in her closet and

Speaker:

she's moving to Hawaii this next year and

Speaker:

she wanted to pare down her closet and she

Speaker:

knew that she had everything. Well, her

Speaker:

really good friend saw her about a few

Speaker:

months later and she goes, what are you

Speaker:

doing lately, you amazing? I'm working

Speaker:

with Pat's dad and my colors done. When

Speaker:

your good friends notice you, they tell

Speaker:

you yay or nay, right? Yes. It's like,

Speaker:

this is not working. This is not working,

Speaker:

sis. This is amazing. I know. I was so

Speaker:

blessed. It was so fun. And then there's

Speaker:

the other one. Here's a guy that I work

Speaker:

with. He was so resistant. He was a fire.

Speaker:

Fires are sassy. We don't want to do

Speaker:

stuff. Anyway, he was a fire. And he

Speaker:

didn't understand why he should wear those

Speaker:

certain colors. So he said to me, he said,

Speaker:

okay, patsy, I get it. It's not whether I

Speaker:

like the color or not, it's whether the

Speaker:

color likes me. I like that. I like that.

Speaker:

Yeah. And so he said, it's such a subtle

Speaker:

change. But now I understand because he

Speaker:

got compliments all the time. He could see

Speaker:

it in his pictures, how you saw him and

Speaker:

his shirt. Not his shirt or his floating

Speaker:

head. I mean, it sounds crazy, but when

Speaker:

you look in the mirror, look at yourself.

Speaker:

Do you see you and then your outfit, or do

Speaker:

you see your outfit? Yeah. It's an

Speaker:

awareness. And when you know how to dress

Speaker:

with intention it makes it fun. It

Speaker:

shouldn't be hard. I have this saying. I

Speaker:

made up. Fashion is a look. It's not a

Speaker:

size, not an age, not a name brand, and

Speaker:

not a price tag. It's who you being and

Speaker:

what you're wearing. Approachable,

Speaker:

confident, attractive, and feeling

Speaker:

beautiful as your authentic self. Wow. I

Speaker:

love it. Now give us that definition one

Speaker:

more time, because I really need that to

Speaker:

resonate with the listener. Okay. Fashion

Speaker:

is a look. It's not a size, not an age,

Speaker:

not a name brand, and not a price tag.

Speaker:

It's who you're being and what you're

Speaker:

wearing. Approachable, confident,

Speaker:

attractive. When you're being attractive,

Speaker:

people are attracted to you and feeling

Speaker:

beautiful as your authentic self. Wow,

Speaker:

that's amazing. That is amazing. Ms.

Speaker:

Pesie, I could talk to you all day because

Speaker:

this sparks questions. I'm telling you

Speaker:

that what you said about white just

Speaker:

totally changed my set design. I'm in the

Speaker:

process of having a new set design for my

Speaker:

podcast, and my go to was going to be a

Speaker:

completely white backdrop and then bring

Speaker:

in different furniture pieces for that.

Speaker:

Because I'm like, yeah, the white will

Speaker:

work because it doesn't matter what I

Speaker:

bring in. It'll be okay. And then you said

Speaker:

what you said, and I'm thinking, well, let

Speaker:

me go back to the drawing board on that.

Speaker:

You know what? This teal is a great

Speaker:

backdrop because it's not black, but

Speaker:

everything shows up in it, right? Shows up

Speaker:

in it. Okay. Consider that it is

Speaker:

definitely color typed. Let me tell you

Speaker:

this other story. You're going to love

Speaker:

this. So when I bought the business, which

Speaker:

I didn't really want to buy, within a very

Speaker:

short period, I had three people who

Speaker:

wanted to get trained to be image stylists

Speaker:

and do the work I'm doing. I didn't know

Speaker:

how to train them. I just barely got

Speaker:

trained myself. But then I thought, okay,

Speaker:

so I went into the mode, like, what would

Speaker:

I want if I was being trained? And I had

Speaker:

to go on other things and made it was

Speaker:

harder, so I simplified it. And this one

Speaker:

lady that I signed up, she's beautiful,

Speaker:

african american, and she goes, well, you

Speaker:

know what? Your flesh tones don't match my

Speaker:

people. And I said, okay, well, then let's

Speaker:

make some. So now I have specific color

Speaker:

flesh tones for all different

Speaker:

nationalities. Awesome. African american.

Speaker:

You guys have anywhere from three to seven

Speaker:

different face. Yes, we do. Right? And so

Speaker:

I can't go just by your skin tone, right?

Speaker:

I can't just do that. That's why getting

Speaker:

to know you doing a style assessment,

Speaker:

finding out who you are, what your gifts

Speaker:

are, that's all in alignment with. Then it

Speaker:

resonates with you then from the inside

Speaker:

out. So what a gift that was to be able

Speaker:

to. Now I can work with everybody. It's

Speaker:

just so fun, right? Covid? Such a blessing

Speaker:

in my life to have clients all over the

Speaker:

world work with people all over. Right?

Speaker:

It's like, wow, I feel like God has given

Speaker:

me a call in my life. I am 73. This is not

Speaker:

what I thought I'd be doing. But I don't

Speaker:

want to do anything else. And you are

Speaker:

transforming people's lives. I do. And I

Speaker:

want help you. I want to help these other

Speaker:

people take the guesswork out of being

Speaker:

beautiful. It should not be hard. Wow.

Speaker:

This is true. This is true. Let's amplify

Speaker:

that message. Let's amplify that message

Speaker:

of embracing your essence like that.

Speaker:

Definitely. That goes well together. It's

Speaker:

what you do. You're helping people to

Speaker:

embrace their own essence, embrace their

Speaker:

authentic self, and learning that color,

Speaker:

it really matters. Like we would not

Speaker:

believe. Listen, Ms. Patsy, we're going to

Speaker:

have to have you back on the podcast real

Speaker:

soon. Yes. We're going to have background.

Speaker:

Yes. Because I'm back to the drawing

Speaker:

board, though. Like, I'm going to rethink

Speaker:

what I was thinking and the new background

Speaker:

is going to be amazing and it will express

Speaker:

what I wanted to express and I won't get

Speaker:

lost in it. Yeah. There you go. Thank you

Speaker:

so much for that piece of wisdom. Listen,

Speaker:

guys, this has been another amazing

Speaker:

episode of Laquita's Toolbox. I hope you

Speaker:

guys have been blessed as much as I have

Speaker:

been blessed by the wisdom that Ms. Patsy

Speaker:

is sharing on today's broadcast. But Ms.

Speaker:

Patsy, before we close out, is there any

Speaker:

last thing that you'd like to leave with

Speaker:

the audience or any promotions or offers

Speaker:

or anything that you have available right

Speaker:

now? Well, I would love to have a

Speaker:

conversation with you. And if you're

Speaker:

building your business, I don't know if I

Speaker:

gave you a gift or not, but I would love

Speaker:

to just find out where you're at and give

Speaker:

you a gift that would really work for you.

Speaker:

I have a pdf on how to own the stage. So

Speaker:

if you're online and you're doing stage

Speaker:

work or whatever, it gives you a lot of

Speaker:

clues about how to improve that. And I

Speaker:

shared a lot today with you, but I'm happy

Speaker:

if show up and have a conversation with me

Speaker:

and I'll send it to you so you have that

Speaker:

in your toolbox. Having a toolbox is

Speaker:

important, but having your colors done,

Speaker:

you can use it to absolutely get your

Speaker:

colors for your marketing. Right? And the

Speaker:

other thing that's really important is,

Speaker:

like, when you get your headshot and you

Speaker:

go to the photographer, you pick out three

Speaker:

or four outfits and you know exactly how

Speaker:

good you're going to look like. You don't

Speaker:

have to take half your wardrobe to figure

Speaker:

out what's your best. And it is such a

Speaker:

gift to your photographer. I work with

Speaker:

photographers a lot, and they love having

Speaker:

me work with their clients first, and then

Speaker:

they spend more time taking fabulous

Speaker:

pictures than picking out outfits. So all

Speaker:

of those pieces, that's why I loved your

Speaker:

show. It's like, this is a foundation

Speaker:

piece of your business should be in your

Speaker:

toolbox, right? Because then you can

Speaker:

invest your money where you need to and

Speaker:

you can always look good because people

Speaker:

join you. You are your brand. Yes, we are

Speaker:

definitely our brand. Our personal brands

Speaker:

matter. When we show up, it doesn't matter

Speaker:

about what you're selling, what your next

Speaker:

trinket or service is. The first thing

Speaker:

that will be evaluated is you. And if you

Speaker:

are not amplifying or personifying, I'll

Speaker:

say personifying what you are talking

Speaker:

about or what you're selling, it doesn't

Speaker:

matter. My grandmother used to tell me

Speaker:

when I was younger, if your head looks

Speaker:

good and your feet look good, you'll be

Speaker:

all right, because those are the things

Speaker:

that people are going to pay attention to

Speaker:

you to the most. So you have to make sure

Speaker:

that those things are in order. And the

Speaker:

older I get, the more I realize that lady

Speaker:

knew what she was talking about. She

Speaker:

really, truly did. Yes. Wisdom. And now

Speaker:

you've unleashed all of this wisdom

Speaker:

concerning color and how it works. Like,

Speaker:

I'm changing my background and there's a

Speaker:

lot of other changes that I now know I

Speaker:

need to make in order to keep drawing my

Speaker:

intended audience. So, Ms. Patsy, you have

Speaker:

blessed me today. Thank you. You blessed

Speaker:

me, too. Yes, you have blessed me today

Speaker:

more than you know. And we definitely will

Speaker:

get you scheduled to come back in and so

Speaker:

we can have some more amazing

Speaker:

conversations about color and the impact

Speaker:

that it has on our personal brand, because

Speaker:

there are so many entrepreneurs, whether

Speaker:

they're struggling or whether they're

Speaker:

thriving, but the goal is always to get to

Speaker:

that next level. And based on our

Speaker:

conversation today, this is something that

Speaker:

should be incorporated in those plans to

Speaker:

help you get to your intended target

Speaker:

audience. Right? Awesome. Thank you again
