Image for Impact

Course Description:

Do you want to make a strong positive first impression?
Do you want to make sure people's perceptions of you match your future career aspirations?
Do you want to maximise your impact in the workplace?

Image is one of the most vital communication skills, yet few of us ever stop to listen to the message we send out about ourselves via our body language, dress and visual behaviour. This workshop will give you the opportunity to assess the first impression you make and plan your own self-marketing strategy.

As well as dealing with areas including gestures, expressions, vocal impact and ways of influencing, you will discover the importance of how the way you dress affects people's perceptions of you. We will work with you to maximise the visual and personal impact you want to achieve to meet future work aspirations.

You will benefit from this course if you want to make more of a professional impact at work or if you have recently been promoted, are looking for promotion or have moved into a new role.
