Gina Trimarco is an expert communicator, here to talk with Natalie Tincher of the Wear Who You Are podcast all about Improvised Intelligence™ (improv-based emotional intelligence), how to show up authentically as yourself, and why enclothed cognition is your secret weapon. In a sales context. If you're not familiar with the term, it refers to the systematic influence that clothes have on the wearer's psychology. And Gina just gets it! And how could she not? She's dedicated her life to helping people improve their communication skills, so it only makes sense that she's got pockets-full of ideas when it comes to how to dress for work. An Industry Adjacent guest of the podcast, Gina comes to us as the founder of Carolina Improv, an improv comedy theater and school, a best selling author, an organizational health advisor and Certified Working Genius™ Facilitator. Natalie and Gina also talk a little about improv and how humor can bond you in the workplace, how coffee machines can change your life, and finding your signature look (hint: Gina's is lipstick!). Don't miss this fun and fabulous episode of Wear Who You Are, and learn how to hone your sales secret weapon.
