Thank you so much to everyone who turned out for the Twitter party #CareerChat yesterday — we had some great discussions with Secret's Career Confidence Coach Nicole Williams. Nicole gave us insightful advice on the topic of personal branding, how to get your LinkedIn profile noticed, what to wear to client dinners, how guys can show personality in a suit, whether perfume is ok at the office, and more. Additionally, four lucky participants won a Secret “#BeFearless in '14 prize pack” — congratulations, ladies!

Some of my favorite discussions from the hour-long conversation are below…

Nicole had a great take on how NYFW differs from office style:

I did not know that your LinkedIn profile is 11x more likely to be looked at if there's a photo — perhaps we should revisit the post on corporate headshots? Readers, do you have a photo on your profile? (For more career confidence advice and inspiration, visit Secret’s LinkedIn page: http://bit.ly/1fawdZQ.) 

Nicole even shared what she kept in her bag with us (including, of course, her Secret deodorant!)

We ended it by asking the participants what their top tip would be for their younger selves. There were some great answers!

Ladies, what are your thoughts on some of these discussions? How do you think NYFW differs from the clothes you need to wear to work? How do you try to make your LinkedIn profile stand out? What career tip would you have for your younger self?
