Event Details

When making a major purchase, a satisfied consumer expects a flawless product and a smooth buying experience. Yet when preparing for a job interview, too often a hurried schedule, limited time frame, or old habits interfere with the preparation for this very important opportunity. Ask yourself: “Do I exude self-confidence and professionalism when I enter a room?” “Do I look the part?” “Do I have a pre-conceived goal for how I want to be perceived?” If your answer is “no” or “unsure” to any of these questions, this workshop is a must.
The ability to walk into a room and make yourself known, to show confidence as you engage in conversation with a wide range of people, and to put others at ease ─ are all critical business skills. It is this social intelligence factor that identifies individuals with above average people skills and determines who will make the best hire. This dynamic communication skill starts with the greeting and progresses throughout the interaction.
The overall objective of this workshop is:
- to develop communication skills that start with your first impression
- to help you master the components of a confident greeting and polished interaction.
- to give you the skill sets needed to take you from the job hunt to being hired.
When one’s approach, posture, attire, and eye contact inspire trust, one is perceived as more confident and self-assured. These attributes provide an added advantage in a competitive job market.
Gloria Petersen, (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/gloria-petersen/0/19/7a5), Speaker and Seminar Leader at Global Business Protocol, Inc. (http://globalbusinessprotocol.com/wordpress/), will facilitate this workshop.
