In today’s fast paced business world, impressions regarding competence, intelligence and reliability are formed within seconds and are usually based on appearance. Knowing how to manage your personal presentation so that you are quickly seen as effective and confident is as critical as any business skill on a resume.
In the global business environment, knowing a lot about your area of expertise is not enough. The ability to get along with others, demonstrate good manners, and make others feel comfortable is becoming increasingly important to career success. Without these skills, you not only risk losing customers but also the support of colleagues and associates.
The aim of SA IMAGE Professional Corporate Workshops are to equip attendees with the information and skills necessary to ensure that their personal and professional image does not detract from the productiveness of their commercial efforts, or the image of their employer.
All presentations are image related, updated constantly, range from 2 hour sessions to full day seminars and are tailored to meet the specific needs of the client. Presentations are energised by the use of audience participation and a range of exciting visual aids including power point programs.

“With reference to the Corporate and Make-up workshop, I’d like to congratulate you on an outstanding presentation. I fully enjoyed it and can’t wait to apply what I’ve learnt in my daily life.
What you presented, is not like every other course or workshop. It truly helps a person to behave in the finest possible manner when dealing with clients, the public and co-workers. It also taught me how important it is to look presentable at all times, especially when in the corporate world.
I’d just like to thank you once again, for what you taught me, and the opportunities it is opening up for me!”
