Welcome to The Visibility Shift, the podcast where style becomes your most powerful strategy for being seen, standing out, and leading boldly. I'm Ellie Steinbrink, stylist and personal brand coach, and if you've ever thought, "My style just isn't working anymore," take this as your sign. You're ready for your next level.  Instead of launching into a panicked shopping spree, what you really need is a strategy. A style strategy that reflects where you're headed, not who you used to be or who you think you need to be to fit in.  I'm here for the ambitious woman who's evolving. Maybe you're a founder, a speaker, a leader, or someone who's becoming more visible in your role. The opportunities are getting more exciting, the stages are getting bigger, but when you walk into your closet, you suddenly feel off, like you've outgrown it, like it represents a past version of you.  We go beyond outfits and dive into the real strategies that elevate your presence, so your outer image reflects your inner power. Style from the inside out. Self-leadership through style. What it takes to create a strategy that's unique to you without losing yourself along the way.  When your style aligns with your brand and your vision, everything shifts. You lead with more presence, you attract the right opportunities and clients, and you fully step into the woman you're becoming. Showing up as yourself is the most strategic thing you can do.  New episodes drop twice weekly. Ready to stop second-guessing and start showing up as the leader you are? Let's get visible.

    How to Create a Style Strategy That Aligns with Your Personal Brand

    You might have this misconception that stylists always have it figured out when deciding what to wear. But as a stylist, I’ve had plenty of panic moments, too. Recently, I attended a high-profile event: a dinner with seven- and eight-figure-earning female business owners. I started spiraling almost immediately upon signing up for it. (Oh, and we were also going to be photographed and filmed in case we wanted to use it for social media, so no added pressure)! Thankfully, I managed to get back on track thanks to my three-pillar style strategy framework. It’s a strategy that both I and my clients use. So, if you’ve ever felt “off” when deciding what to wear at an event or like your choice didn’t reflect the real you, try this grounded approach (one you can return to again and again) to match your outward style with your inner identity.   In this episode of The Visibility Shift, you’ll learn the three pillars to creating a signature style that aligns with who you really are. I’ll discuss defining your style vision, choosing style guardrails as guidelines that empower you, and uncovering hidden beliefs that might be holding you back from showing up as your authentic self. 2:10 – The scenario I faced this past summer in Canada 4:46 – Style vision: your foundational pillar for an aligned wardrobe 6:26 – Pressure of preparing for the event and the first sign of something feeling off 9:44 – The question to ask when going down the wrong path with your style words 10:55 – Style guidelines: building blocks to your transformation confidence from the inside out 14:16 – The game-changing style alignment pillar that most women skip 15:34 – How to discover and work through the belief blocking your aligned style presence 19:00 – How having a clear style strategy becomes your “true north” in moments of panic Mentioned In How to Create a Style Strategy That Aligns with Your Personal Brand Stop Panic Shopping and Start Building Your Style Strategy The Hidden Style Rules Holding You Back (and How to Break Them) Standout Style Kick-Starter The Visibility Edit Work With Ellie Follow Ellie on Instagram and LinkedIn Leave a rating and review

    Speaker Style Rules That Make You Forgettable (and What to Do Instead)

    Have you ever opened an email before a speaking engagement and immediately spiraled into panic—not about your talk, but about your outfit? Perhaps the event planner listed a dozen dress code rules in it, like avoiding bright colors and patterns or coordinating with a brand palette. So then you find yourself standing in front of your closet, wondering if your signature look is “too much.” But true visibility doesn’t come from blending in. It’s built on standing out with intention, clarity, and confidence. So let’s flip the script on the unspoken rules that can quietly dilute your personal brand. In this episode of The Visibility Shift, you’ll be challenged to stop dressing for approval and start dressing for alignment instead. Through relatable client stories and impactful mindset shifts, I’ll reveal four speaker rules, explain why they don’t work, and redefine what it means to show up with presence, reclaim your visual identity, and lead with your brand first (not the rulebook).  2:57 – How even seasoned speakers can fall into the trap of dimming their presence without realizing it 4:39 – Why dressing to match your audience doesn’t pass the sniff test 6:42 – How your brand color is just the beginning of something much more dynamic 9:10 – Why dressing for the background is an impossible limitation 11:03 – The weird rule that makes sense but always gets followed blindly when it shouldn’t 14:43 – Three things to take away from this episode (even if you remember nothing else) 18:10 – Brand as the feeling you leave people with Mentioned In Speaker Style Rules That Make You Forgettable (and What to Do Instead) Standout Style Kick-Starter The Visibility Edit Work With Ellie Follow Ellie on Instagram and LinkedIn Leave a rating and review

    How to Stop Wasting Time Deciding What to Wear Every Day

    I’m sure you’ve been there: staring into a closet full of clothes, yet feeling like you’ve got nothing to wear…especially if you’re styling for an important event. But even on a “normal” day, this isn't just a minor inconvenience.
