Hi Sharlyn,

I attended ‘Building A Professional Image’ last Thursday at the York Hotel and I’ve been meaning to write to let you know what an impact you’ve made on me.

Throughout my career, I’ve always prided myself in my work and my thinking is that Senior Management will see that and recognise me accordingly.Up until last Thursday, my idea of ‘Professional Image’ is to wear whatever I like to work - often too casual, revealing and unappropriate.

And it was during your introduction of the ‘Contents’ of the course that I received the greatest enlightenment.  Your description of how a Professional Image gives a person a competitive edge and communicates a message of oneself that truly woke me up!  I am now acutely aware of the messages I am ‘silently’ communicating and it has given me a whole new perspective to how I view my own image, as well as that of others.

Throughout the day, you inspired me with many things you said.  I like the way you introduced yourself: your work, your role as a mother and your passion.  It speaks volumes of who you are as a person and I felt you presented it excellently.  I especially liked it when you said we are role models for our children.  I have 3 young children and I made a decision that since I learnt so many useful tips at your course, I shall impart them to my children by modelling the right behaviour for them.  Wish me luck!

And your perspective of ‘small talk’ as a way of getting to know people and being connected challenged my negative perceptions. I will now endeavour to make a game out of it and see it as an opportunity to learn something new and have fun doing it!

I sincerely feel that what you’re doing has a great impact on your participants, you’re changing the world – one person at a time!

Here’s a heartfelt ‘THANK YOU’ from an appreciative participant:
YOU are an EXCELLENT teacher and a truly INSPIRING person!

Have a great week, Sharlyn.
