Not all growth at work happens in front of a screen. Sometimes, it starts with a conversation about confidence, details, materials, presence… and the way you show up in the world.
This week, a few curious CGMers stepped outside the coding routine and joined a style workshop together with Tudor Personal Tailor in Iași. And no, this wasn’t a workshop for salespeople or executives. It was for developers, technical leads, QA specialists and IT professionals genuinely interested in learning something new, useful and unexpectedly fascinating.
Because even in tech, personal style is more than clothes. It’s about attention to detail. Understanding context. Reading people and situations. Feeling comfortable in your own skin. Building confidence before an important meeting, presentation, interview or event. And maybe most importantly: expressing professionalism in a way that still feels authentic to you.
During the workshop, our CGMers explored the history and evolution of classic menswear and womenswear, dress codes, styling architectures, business attire, luxury materials, and the psychology behind professional image. And yes… things got very hands-on by the end: touching natural fabrics, discovering the difference between wool, cotton and merino wool, trying on jackets, blazers, jeans, sunglasses and even exploring fragrances.
As Sergiu Miron, Technical Lead and one of the participants, shared:
“I genuinely enjoyed the workshop organized by CGM in collaboration with Tudor Personal Tailor and, honestly, I can say it truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and hosts had a vibe of their own. The experience was both insightful and practical, offering a deeper understanding of essential materials in industry such as wool, cotton or merinos wool, as well as how to recognize quality and make better styling choices. What stood out the most was how approachable and applicable everything felt. From learning different luxury materials/brands to understanding how to properly match and style a suit. It wasn't just theory, but knowledge you can actually use in everyday life. For me, these kinds of events are useful because we 'use' Andreea's connections to meet new people/places/brands and, of course, we escape from the coding routine. Thanks again for the experience (and for the discount).”
At CGM, we genuinely believe people grow faster when they are exposed to different perspectives, experiences and communities. Even the unexpected ones. Technology matters. Skills matter. But so do curiosity, confidence, human interaction and the courage to keep learning outside your comfort zone.
And honestly? We hope we never become “just” a workplace where people come to code and go home. We want CGM to keep being a place where great professionals also discover passions, ideas, people and experiences they didn’t even know they were looking for.
