From confidence to culture change through corporate style

In this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast, Chloe speaks with Lou (Louise Sleightholm), creator and stylist at @LousCorporateLife, founder of sustainable workwear brand Mode, and co-founder of the Leeds Young Professionals Network.Lou shares how she turned a personal pain into a movement, building a community of over 300,000 people inspired by her daily advice on corporate style. But this conversation goes far beyond fashion. Together we explore the links between workwear, confidence, and self-esteem; how uniform policies can impact women at work; and why comments on appearance, too often dismissed as “harmless”, can contribute to a culture where sexual harassment is normalised.This episode is about sustainability, confidence, and culture, and how leaders can rethink policies, behaviours, and practices to make the workplace not only more stylish, but safer and more empowering for everyone.This podcast was made possible by OneSource HR.
