Does the thought of a Sixty Minutes’ reporter at your doorstep make you sweat? (It should!)

Do public speeches make you nervous?

What about the all important presentation to your shareholders?  (You have a few moments to make a convincing argument.  It’s do or die sometimes.)

How many times has an athlete or political candidate said something on camera that they wish they could retract?  (Hurry, get thee to an image coach!)

Did you know that from the time you enter a room, you have approximately ten seconds to make (what may turn out to be) a lasting impression! Ten seconds!

Your entrance is carefully observed.

Are you slumped over?  Are your shoes dull?  Are your eyes nervous and wandering?  Is your belly hanging out of your skirt or pants? Are you a wallfower? Is your nose suspended from the ceiling?

Your posture, your handshake, the placement of your name tag, your steady and interested eye gaze, all feed into how seriously you’re taken and yes, all factor into “moving up the corporate ladder”.

The positive manner in which you handle your email, speak on the telephone, manage dissension within your department, can all be learned tools that can enable you to more effectively mobilize your team.

Do you wanna know a dirty little secret? Shh….don’t tell, but many CEO’s use a wine list as a testing ground.
Yes, indeed.  Handing the wine list to you, they will carefully make observations about you . . . whether you’re honest or not (How, you ask? Something to think about.) and how you treat the service staff. Are you really the wine connoisseur that you have long professed to be?

They will observe you under pressure. But coaching can boost your confidence.

Confidence equals respect.  Respect equals power!

You don’t have to be a tall, imposing figure to command respect.  Your body language and mannerisms, the way you utilize the art of small talk, your style of dress, combined with a healthy knowledge of your company, product or service can catapult you to statuesque levels beyond a yardstick!

A few tweaks here and there can absolutely improve self-esteem, eliminate certain nuances, and turn around the way you’re accepted or perceived.

Accomplished business executives, professional athletes, award winning novelists, actors and winning political candidates all need (and the many successful ones, receive) media and image consulting.

Professional media/image coaches and consultants work to hone your speaking and presentation skills.  You will be the same person . . . only better!!

I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding image and media consulting.
