What is personal Image?
Why is it so Important?
Inspection of your reflection – group exercise
How to get your message heard.


As a nation we tend to be quite bashful about our abilities, whereas in today’s modern highly technical world you have to put that to one side and learn to deliver your values, qualities, attitude, beliefs and results through you personal image and persona.

93% of personal and corporate image can be viewed as the circle of success, in which looking good and acting appropriately with integrity is the starting point of the journey. A journey of confidence building, self discovery and changed thinking, leads to improved self-esteem benefiting the individual and the business return.

Be ready for some surprises, as how we see ourselves is often not how we are seen by others – do you need a careful inspection of your reflection?

We are all really adept at setting our goals now. It will be an interesting start to the year to focus on how we can implement them with maximum success.
