Dress to Impress: Putting it All Together
A Members Only Conversation Over Coffee

We’ve heard it before:
First impressions are everything.
First impressions are made within the first 3-5 seconds of meeting someone.
First impressions are paramount to your success.
But has your company relaxed its dress code? Are you wondering how to go from board room to networking event?
This seminar offers sound guidance on what is appropriate dress in the business environment, what your body language is communicating to others and how, coupled together, you can create your personal “power pose” when you enter a room.
Our presenters will highlight practical ideas for dressing the part and will discuss how to make your outward appearance leave a lasting and memorable impression.
In addition to the presentations, there will be a professional photographer on hand to take your photo for self promotion. Corporate headshots provided by Brad D'Amico Photography.
Each participant will receive a high resolution corporate headshot, a Nordstrom’s gift bag and a chance to win a $50 Nordstrom gift card.
