October Edition: “Style” – Owning Your Signature Strengths

Inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Style”

Whether you work behind the scenes, on the front lines, in an office, or out in the field, one thing is true: you bring something unique to the table. Taylor Swift’s “Style” reminds us that some things never go out of fashion—like confidence, authenticity, and knowing what makes you shine.

This month, we’re focusing on how to recognize and embrace your signature strengths, those qualities that help you do your job well, connect with others, and grow in your career.

What is Your Signature Style At Work? – Think about what people count on you for:

  • Are you the one who keeps things running smoothly, even under pressure?
  • Do you bring creativity to problem-solving or a calm voice during tough conversations?
  • Are you known for your reliability, attention to detail, or ability to lift team morale?

Your style is more than your role. It’s how you show up, how you contribute, and how you make a difference!

Tips to Elevate Your Professional Style:

  1. Know your strengths – Identify what makes you unique and what you do well.
  2. Ask for Feedback – Sometimes others see your strengths more clearly than you do.
  3. Stay consistent – Like a well-loved melody that never fades, showing up with reliability and integrity builds trust.
  4. Adapt with intention – Our style can evolve. Stay open to learning while staying true to what makes you effective.

What’s one strength or quality you’ve consistently brought to your work? How can you lean into it more intentionally this month?
