  • "Initially, my feelings toward taking a course were mixed -- how many people want to admit that they need to be better "groomed"? However, taking your "Confidence Tools" workshop made me realize how important presentation, manners, and confidence can be in a professional setting. First impressions set the foundation of a professional relationship and for those in a client-facing position, this needs to be perfected. I am more confident around clients, colleagues, and even my boss."

  • "My new store opening kicked butt! Your simple advice to serve wine and light refreshments changed the mood of the event from an "everybody come and check out my new business" to something more social and intimate. People actually paid more attention to the clothing because they were not being forced to do it."
