"Your Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference - Aristotle"

This Aristotle's quote summarizes the essence of the content of IMPRESS TO EXPRESS. It helps professional presenters create a lasting and impacting positive impression on the audience through a polish image. One of the hallmarks of today's successful presenter is their ability to impress the audience before they even utter their first word. When you are presenting in front of an audience, you are performing as an actor is on stage. How you are being perceived is very important. Dress appropriately for the occasion.


"Things that matter most, must never be at the mercy of things that matter least - Goethe"

IMPRESS TO EXPRESS is a 2-hour image seminar exclusively developed for Toastmasters. The seminar focuses on those things that matters most: a personal signature over the job well done after the positive impression is created.

In today's digital world, any professional speaker who is able to project not only an individualistic image of sophistication, but also a branding consciousness, will definitely outlast your competition. IMPRESS TO EXPRESS is the vehicle to create this hallmark; because Looking Good is not only an Art ... it is an Attitude.


Objective

• To create and maintain an empowering presence, develop believability & credibility as a professional speaker / trainer through the employment of poise and good grooming sense.

Learning Outcome
At the end of the 2-hour seminar, participants should;

• Dress with style and professionalism
• Coordinate colours and cut to enhance their bodyline and personality
