Image and Communication | train-the-trainer Personal Branding, non-verbal communication | AICI accredited course

Probably you have seen professionals who present themselves in a way that does not honour them. They might think that it is enough to pay attention to the content only. That is what they are here for.

However, if we deal with professionals we like to experience them as professionals in all modalities: in how they speak, how they look, how they engage, how they perform, how they influence. If one of these aspects is neglected we loose our trust in that person.

That is where Image Styling comes in. With knowledge of image styling you can be relevant to anyone who wants to optimize their professional success, or who wants to increase his/her personal influence. By Imago Styling you help professionals to show up in a professional way, to profile themselves and to distinguish themselves from others.

In the course, that is accredited for 1.0 CEU's by AICI you will learn how to teach non-verbal techniques. You will learn how to use the Image Grid© to fine-tune your customer's appearance to the occasion. With the knowledge you gain you can provide training courses and workshops. As a participant, you do observation assignments between the training days.
