Lessons from Every Floor: Marshalls → The Power of Presentation

When I worked at Marshalls, I didn’t realize I was receiving a lesson I’d carry into my own business years later: presentation is everything.

At Marshalls, the racks, displays, and shelves weren’t just about putting items out for sale—they were about creating an experience. A pair of shoes wasn’t just sitting on a shelf; it was angled just right to catch someone’s eye. A handbag wasn’t just thrown on a hook; it was staged in a way that made you imagine yourself carrying it.

🌱 The Lesson from the Floor

How you present something changes how people perceive its value.

In retail, a messy display can make even the best products look cheap. In business, the same is true: if your offer, your website, or even your personal presence feels scattered, it lowers the way others perceive your value.

✨ The Coaching Angle

For entrepreneurs and professionals, presentation is your first impression:

• The way you package your product or service.
• The way you speak about your business.
• The way you show up—in person, online, and even energetically.

Your presentation should reflect the value you truly offer. Think about it: is your business being staged like a messy rack, or is it displayed like a curated, intentional piece that makes people stop and pay attention?

🌸 Flourishing Forward

What I learned from Marshalls wasn’t about clothing—it was about confidence and clarity. When you take the time to present yourself and your business with intention, people respond with trust, curiosity, and respect.
