The Polished Persona:
A Foundation for Professional Presence
From sophisticated self-presentation strategies to thoughtfully structured correspondence, The Polished Persona provides a comprehensive guide to cultivating a distinguished professional reputation and a more elegant image. Drawing on her experience in leadership, governance, and global protocol, Janika LeMaitre outlines the critical nuances that shape perception, credibility, and influence in both business and civic settings.
With clarity and conviction, she challenges readers to take ownership of how they are seen—approaching presence, communication, and conduct with intentionality rather than chance. For professionals seeking to elevate their executive presence, strengthen their personal brand, and command respect in every room they enter, The Polished Persona offers a refined roadmap for sustainable impact.

"The Polished Persona is a powerful reminder that true presence doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from alignment. Janika beautifully captures how confidence, elegance, and impact begin on the inside and radiate outward. A thoughtful guide for women ready to elevate how they show up in the world with intention and authenticity."

"The Polished Persona is a practical, confidence-building guide for self-motivated women who want to show up with intention and ease. I especially appreciated the chapters on dress code and dining experience, which offer approachable, practical tips to easily freshen up everyday standards, helping reduce self-doubt and allowing women to feel prepared, polished, and focused on connection and leadership rather than second-guessing themselves."
