THE IMPORTANCE OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION and IMAGE for PEAK PERFORMANCE

Learn how to use “image” to your advantage and use its potential as one of the strongest forms of non-verbal communication.

Professional dress is rather like a uniform. We can learn how to use rank in different situations to achieve the correct response, e.g. the difference between giving a seminar or brainstorming with colleagues.

Because men’s image is defined by history, it has rules and regulations. However, women’s image is not defined so care must be taken to adapt these rules to find the appropriate feminine alternative.

Objectives:

• Encourage the participants to open their mind, change their attitude and develop their visual perception.
• Inspire the participants to continue to improve their personal and professional image.
• A written action plan for the immediate future and short/long term, making a commitment to improve their professional image to reflect the status of the company or organisation.

Understanding how visual communication works will benefit the participants by giving them the ability to:

• Create a more positive first impression.
• Improve professional credibility therefore increasing self-confidence.
• Receive more respect.
• Be the best visual aid when giving a seminar or presentation.
• Save time and money as well as looking more attractive.
• Avoid running the risk of antagonistic forms of dress.
• Avoid “contaminating” our messages.

The knowledge that you look good allows you to concentrate 100% on business.
