Powered Up Professional Presence

Overview

Employees represent the organization's image. An organization's members advertently and inadvertently display behavior, which in time influence how a company is perceived by others.

In business, you are what you say and do. Following this principle, the first few seconds are critical in establishing a positive and lasting impression. One must be perceived as a professional to win the trust of others, and facets that create this image are business etiquette and a professional personality to match. Developing these foundations are critical if staff are to be seen as professional, empathetic, trustworthy and credible.

Effective personality development programs focus on developing a positive win-win mindset that influence attitude. This forms the foundation for positive and professional behavior. Enhancing one's ability to manage visual impressions, vocal impressions and choice of words is required if consistency is to be met. Being mindful of etiquette completes the foundation as it enables an individual to model behavior that is deemed proper in various social and business situations.
