Up Coming Live Programs:
The Art of Non-verbal Communication – December 3, 2009 – 12:00 Noon (EDT)
Because 93% of communication is non-verbal, it’s important to understand the ABCs of body language. You’ll want to know what others are saying through their eye-movement, facial expressions, gestures and other tell-tale indicators, and how to manage your own messages. Can you spot a person who is trustworthy and sincere? How about when someone isn’t being honest? More often than not, subconscious signals reveal the truth.

Your Personal Brand – December 17, 2009 – 12:00 Noon (EDT)
It’s not just your firm that has a brand to tout – you do as well. A personal brand is how we communicate our effectiveness to others. The way we dress is the “packaging,” and the way we communicate is our “marketing campaign.” Are the messages your dress and behavior send in alignment with your personal brand? Listen to see what, if any, gaps exist for you.

Dressing to Impress (Men) – February 18, 2010 – 12:00 Noon
Our non-verbal signals to others start with what we are wearing. Like it or not, first impressions are based in large part on clothing and grooming within a blink of an eye, and in this economy, no professional can afford to send this signal: “I’m comfortable and couldn’t care less what you think of me.” We’ll cover appropriate dress for business casual and more formal office environments, what to wear to a client meeting, and review some grooming basics.
