Would you like to develop the confidence and polished social skills that will help you achieve your personal best? In this workshop for adults we will show you how to make memorable and positive first impressions wherever you go. Research shows that it takes less than 10 seconds of meeting someone, to form an opinion about that person. Statistics reveal that 55% of our first impression is based on the way we look, 38% on the way we present ourselves and only 7% is based on what we have to say. Equip yourself with the essential life skills that will allow you to shine in any social situation. Our workshops are fun, fast-paced, and highly interactive.
