September 14, 2010 Speaker Series: Image Consulting
Gwin Event

\"\"

It’s not always easy to assess our own projected image.  Without professional advice and direction, all we can do is try our best—and, even then, there isn’t likely to be any professional, dependable feedback!

Understanding how we come across to others makes good business sense!  We can consciously learn to put our “best foot forward”, and put others at ease through developing awareness of our personal image.

KCR provides simple guidelines to compliment your natural abilities and personality, to create the look you require.  By learning to project the right visual image of ourselves, we create positive reaction from others in our business and personal environments.

Participants will immediately be more effective in daily situations. Benefit from increased self-esteem, self-confidence and credibility: improved performance and productivity; better able to reflect authority, ability and sensitivity to others, reaping the success that a professional image brings.

Workshop Objectives: By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

* Evaluate and assess their current personal image

* Identify valuable and little know image facts

* Identify and create their own personal style

* Apply subtle image and style techniques to create intended impressions

* Identify the links between projected personality and perception

* Explain the importance of verbal and non-verbal communications

October 5, 2010 Speaker Series: Mind Mapping
Gwin Event

\"\"   

Mind Mapping is an organizational thinking tool developed by Mind Mapping guru - Tony Buzan.  Use his technique to plan, decide, organize, notetake, problem solve, think clearly, concentrate, recall, manage time, communicate and increase creative intelligence.  With this tool in hand, forgetfulness and disorganization can become past habits replaced by focus, clarity and order.

We all carry a huge library in our heads.  With Mind Mapping we provide ourselves a doorway into a phenomenal data retrieval and access system, tapping into its existing organization, storage and classification.  The larger the library the easier the retrieval as new information merges with previous knowledge, creating data expansion and adding additional access points.

Building our Creative Intelligence allows the formulation of new ideas and problem solving with originality.  A Mind Mapper will distinguish themselves in terms of their imagination, behaviour and productivity.  Latch onto this fascinating and immensely useful technique to empower all areas of your life.

Elaine Elias is an entrepreneur who sells the wellness product lines of Aromatherapy oils and Emu oil and has created a small business based on her lifelong interests in the benefit of plant and other oils. She is an author, enjoys photography, reading, traveling, the subjects of geology, astronomy and ecology, and is an avid learner. Lately, Elaine has delved into the multiple impacts of nutrition and societal factors on our long-term well-being.  For the past six years, she has derived much joy from teaching English to students in Europe and is currently a member of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce and the city\'s Toastmaster\'s club.

Along with Stefan, her husband, Elaine works on their farm raising organic greenhouse and garden vegetables, fruits and herbs, ultimately preserving these products for her pantry or sharing the bounty with family, friends and neighbours.
