Impress: Image, balance and confidence for professional women

A woman who genuinely has her act together can be spotted a mile off.

Whether it’s at a ball, a business meeting or a barbeque she doesn’t worry about what to wear, how to stand or what to say.

It’s not just that she knows how to walk into a room and light it up - with neither neon flashing signs heralding her entrance, nor a need to slink awkwardly into a quiet corner while she gathers her wits...

It’s not just how deftly she juggles her glass with some canapés, a serviette, her organised handbag, a discreet conversation with the babysitter about her relaxed children, and some charming repartee with the CEO’s dignitaries about the company’s recovery from the Global Financial Crisis...

It’s not even that when you’re scrambling for a pen, she hands you one, or that while you’re stumbling through a too-long list of not-good-enough excuses, she’s already said ‘no’ with grace and ease...

When the straw has broken your own camel’s back, you’ll notice a camel standing nearby, in one piece, carrying exactly the right cargo for its journey – a load that is just challenging enough.

Secretly, we all want to be that woman. The one who not only looks the part and acts the part – but knows the part backwards. She has clear professional and personal direction. She has genuine confidence and firm ownership of the balance of her life. She’s fit. She’s healthy. She’s happy.

An exclusive group of participants will be let in on the secrets of how to become the kind of woman they admire at the inaugural Impress seminar for professional women on 20 November 2009.

In a first for Canberra, a diverse line-up of four niche presenters will provide participants with the specialist knowledge and skills that they need to plan their careers and personal lives, to achieve their goals, and to do this with confidence, clarity and contentment.

The unique concept brings together corporate image consultant, Carol Mitchell, from ckimage Consultancy and personal trainer, Bernie Dowling from Body to Burn, with ‘WorkLifeBliss’ specialist, Emma Grey, and executive career coach, Louise Carter, from Performance Partnership.

Professional women are adept at incorporating multiple challenges into their busy lives. The Impress seminar provides them with an opportunity to raise the bar across all of the areas that matter most – all in the one package. It’s the professional-development ‘me time’ they’ve been waiting for.

The Impress seminar will be held at the Wesley Music Centre, Forrest, ACT on 20 November 2009.  For additional information and a copy of the seminar flyer, please enquire here.
