Image Management

Dress codes for work can often be misinterpreted. How "casual" should business casual be? What is the protocol for jewellery and cologne in the workplace? What colours and styles fit best for your line of work.

Our image management workshop delivers the essential knowledge required to make a strong and lasting impression with external clients, internal colleagues, managers and everyone else.

Our extensive connections and knowledge in the area of image management includes:

• A close association with some of North America's premier clothing and image consultants, including Holt Renfrew.
• Expert input from brand consultants including from The Sculich School of Business at York University.
• Expert knowledge from the business fashion press, trough our association with Prelude Magazine.
• Expert knowledge from the executive success track, through our active production and involvement in CEO TV.
