Colour Style and You at Highmark Health Women’s BRG

Signature Style Strategy:  Elevate Your Professional Presence

Yesterday, I had the incredible honor of presenting Color Analysis and Style Strategy: Elevate Your Professional Presence for the Highmark Health Women’s BRG.

Becky, Sydnee, and Sarah — thank you for welcoming me so warmly and for recognizing the value of helping women show up with intention, authenticity, and confidence.

The audience connected deeply with the message:

- How color analysis elevates personal presence
- How wardrobe planning simplifies daily decision-making
- How closet organization creates clarity, ease, and confidence

It was inspiring to see so many women leaning into the idea that how we present ourselves is not superficial — it is strategic, empowering, and deeply personal.

I look forward to future opportunities to support Highmark’s BRG community with programs that uplift, educate, and transform.

McNees Wallace & Nurick Corporate Retreat

What an incredible experience being a part of  @McNees Wallace & Nurick Corporate Retreat. It was an honor to share the true power of color: how knowing the shades that harmonize with your skin, hair, and eyes can transform your presence, elevate your confidence, and empower the way you show up every day.

Color isn't just "what looks good." It's communication. It's energy. It's influence.

When you understand your personal palette, everything changes. Your wardrobe becomes easier, your choices become intentional, and your presence becomes unforgettable.

I'm excited to share a few photos from this inspiring day. The engagement, curiosity, and enthusiasm from the attendees made it truly special.

Here's to showing up boldly, beautifully, and in the colors that speak you.

 

Empowering Professional Women Through the Power of Color and Style

Held Friday, May 12, 2026 – Messiah University

The Business Women's Forum that was held at Messiah University, sponsored by the Carlisle Chamber of Commerce and the West Shore Chamber, was a powerful reminder of what happens when ambitious, driven professional women come together in one room — magic.

As a Signature Style Strategist, I had the extraordinary privilege of connecting with women from across industries who are stepping boldly into their power and recognizing something that the most successful women already know:

Your personal image is your most valuable professional currency.  Color and Style are not about fashion - they are about communication, confidence, and commanding the room before you say a single word.

The response was overwhelming. Professional women are waking up to the undeniable truth that a personalized Color Analysis and Style Strategy is not an indulgence — it is a strategic investment in their career, their brand, and their presence.

Were you at the Forum? I would love to continue the conversation.

Did you miss it? There has never been a better time to begin your style transformation.

A personal Color Analysis and Style Strategy Session with Karen Nordaby will help you:

- Discover the colors that elevate your natural beauty and authority
- Build a wardrobe that communicates confidence, credibility, and authenticity
- Walk into every room — and every opportunity — feeling completely and powerfully you

Classic Rock Design Center

I was honored to be invited by Karina Bulick of Cambria USA to speak at the Classic Rock Design Center hosting an event for the NKAB organization, on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. The showroom provided the perfect backdrop for an evening dedicated to understanding how color influences not only our appearance, but also how we feel and communicate.

The event was a tremendous success. Attendees — both women and men — had the opportunity to discover which colors, shades, and hues best complement their natural features, including skin tone, hair, and eye color. Watching guests light up as they saw how the right palette enhanced their look was truly inspiring.

Throughout the evening, we explored:

- The science and psychology behind personal color analysis
- How undertones guide color selection
- Why certain hues elevate confidence and presence
- Ways to apply color knowledge to wardrobe, accessories, and even professional branding

The engagement, curiosity, and enthusiasm in the room made the experience unforgettable. I’m grateful to Karina and the Classic Rock Design Center team for their warm hospitality and for creating a space where education, design, and personal transformation could come together so beautifully.

"It was very nice meeting you last week. I very much enjoyed the Color Analysis. I’ve been looking to expand and update my wardrobe since I’ve been growing out my hair in my natural color. I have an upcoming trip to the Los Angeles area and I used the Autumn color palette to order some new clothes over the weekend in colors I would have never tried before. Thank you again!" -- Nicole
