Professional Image and Performance Networking Skills program for The Hamdy Smith Group, a Scotia Wealth Management team, at Toronto’s National Club

/in , , , , , /by

Lynne was pleased to present her Professional Image and Performance Networking Skills program for The Hamdy Smith Group, a Scotia Wealth Management team, at Toronto’s National Club.

This group of successful wealth professionals are no strangers to the competitive demands of their profession. And they clearly appreciate the nuances of presenting themselves both in appearance and behavior to their best advantage. It’s always great to interact with professionals at this level…simply because they really understand the impact the little things can make.

Our time together, albeit short, was educational and supportive. We explored, discussed and practiced,

  • Creating a positive emotional connection with those we meet at professional/social functions
  • How our appearance enhances, or undermines, our credibility in the eyes of others (we even did colours!)
  • The nuances of meeting clients in different settings: office/home, galas, sporting events, etc.
  • Social protocols and dining etiquette with a mind to focus on the client and opportunity rather than our own behaviors

Our professional lives are busy and full of competing demands. It’s important that we are professionally knowledgeable, tech savvy, excellent communicators, emotionally intelligent, caring and committed, etc., etc. Our hope, and goal, at Mackay Byrne Group is to give professionals the skills to be comfortable and confident within themselves as a foundation to flourish in their careers.

Professional Image: The Psychology of Perception

A universal perceptual tendency is to “judge a book by its cover”. We form lasting opinions based on what we see. In fact, over half of the impression you convey to others is based on appearance. The look of credibility, composure and professionalism must accompany the message for an audience or client to accept it. You must be believed to be heard, and we believe what we see.

Be sure to send the full message by visually presenting your professional credibility. This seminar is about attaining a professional presence that in all circumstances speaks well of you. Learn how your body language, dress and personal style impact the decisions others make of you and your ideas.
Image:
• The impact of appearance on client perceptions
• Powerful first impressions
• How to create the “look” of professional credibility
• The power of colour on visual communication
• Clothing signals and how to dress to gain respect
• Clothes you should never wear, and the clothes you must have
• Why it is critical to appear current (not trendy) with your appearance
• The distinctions between professional and business casual dress
• How to dress for clients and situations, urban/rural etc.
• Select and coordinate the appropriate design elements in business casual clothing
• Use appropriate colour coordination techniques when combining separates
• Choose the correct footwear, jewelry, outerwear, and accessories to complete their
business casual wardrobe
• How to look your best with minimal effort
• How to build a professional wardrobe on your budget

This seminar can be focused primarily on both Business Professional and Casual Dress. The workshop incorporates short lecture, clothing samples current to the season, a PowerPoint presentation, and interactive experiences to create an outstanding learning environment.

Personal Colour Analysis
An individual colour reading service will be provided for each person. This reading will also include an analysis of individual colour characteristics. A colour wallet is provided tailored to their skin tones and unique features. This provides a reference on how to correctly coordinate colour within one’s personal wardrobe.

Lynne will provide each person recommendations on clothing/accessories, makeup, eyewear (optional), and hair colour suited to their personal needs.
