The key to a professional presence is having the ability to project competence and confidence about yourself to your audience.  This presence is created by many factors including; how you interact with others, your body language, how you look, how you carry yourself and how you communicate with others on all levels.

This engaging seminar explores the attributes that contribute to a professional presence and identifies the common "fatal flaws" that detract from it. Discover a winning professional image that is "right" for you, your clients, colleagues, peers and superiors; everyone will notice and appreciate it. You will find this seminar both "diagnostic" and "prescriptive." Even the most capable person can be their own worst enemy and commit "career suicide."

How you will benefit. You will learn how to:

  • Improve your image in the eyes of coworkers, customers and senior management
  • Identify unconscious behaviors that get in the way

  • Master social and fine dining etiquette skills
  • Be aware of corporate protocol and courtesy

  • Gain confidence and improve your self-esteem
