Title: You Say What!!!
Workshop objective:
How to leave a lasting “First Impression”
When You walk down the street, into a room, in front of an audience two things happen:
You are noticed and an opinion is formed hence a “First Impression”.
Does your “First Impression” leave that “Impression” you want people to have of YOU?
Do You want your speeches to leave a “Lasting Impression” on your audience?
Why not drop in for a fast make over of “Your First Impression”.
In this workshop we will look at why...your introduction, your choice of clothes, and your
opening, are so important.
