Image & Impact Training
 Testimonial:
John J Murphy, Senior Managing Consultant, IBM
Global Business Services (reproduced, with permission, from an internal
memo addressed to the course organiser) “Thank you for arranging
the image course, it was excellent. Helen White is a very informative
and straight-talking expert and I think we all found her advice
challenging and useful. This was probably one of the best things
the company has done to help me and my career. I would, therefore,
highly recommend the day to others and hope we put plenty more of
our sales and senior customer facing staff through it.”
Business Etiquette  Testimonial:
We have used the services of Public I for over
6 years, and have seen images transformed at all levels, from senior
managers to our front of house staff. Attendees return to the workplace
with far more confidence, equipped with the skills to excel in any
business or social situation. An excellent and enjoyable course, and
well worth the investment.Chris Paxford, Managing Director of pcm Limited Personal Impact Training  Testimonial:
Over the last two and a half years Sandy has worked in partnership
with MITIE Business Services to ensure that our customer-facing, frontline
and managerial people project themselves in the best possible light.
Sandy has achieved this and we can see the benefits that she has brought
to our organization; our people now appreciate the importance of portraying
the correct image and paying attention to the small details in the
context of providing first class business support services to head
office clients.Sandy has made an immediate and long-lasting connection with our people who have experienced her training events thanks to her professional yet friendly style and her obvious belief in her subject matter – I can personally vouch for this as an attendee of one of her seminars. Sandy displays the same professionalism and friendliness in our business dealings, resulting in a satisfied customer every time!’ Conference Presentation on Image Testimonial:
We asked Sandy to speak to a group of 80 litigation
lawyers at the end of a full training day, the theme of which was
presentation and interviewing skills. Her topic was personal impact;
“What is image? Why does it matter?”We wanted a talk that gave us a lift and to dynamically bridge the time between the end of the formal training elements and an evening dinner. We certainly got it! Sandy was both entertaining in terms of her delivery and content and also educational. Her subject of dress and personal presentation was delivered in a controversial manner in order to initiate debate, which meant that the subject was discussed throughout dinner and indeed many months later within the organisation. We are confident that it has had a positive impact on personal presentation. |
PresentationTestimonial:
Sandy Ruddock spoke at a farming conference (Pasture To Profit) in
January 2005. Although the delegates at this conference would have been drawn from a very progressive section of the farming community, it was nevertheless unusual for someone dealing with Sandy’s areas of expertise to be invited to speak. It is a fine reflection on Sandy’s perception, capability and presentation skills that her talk was so well received. The number of questions and the level of interest shown in feedback both during and after the conference took many delegates and organisers by surprise. Most of the delegates would be involved in small discussion groups around the country, and I believe that many have invited Sandy to talk at these meetings to further pursue these areas of expertise in a more intimate setting. Personal Management, Time Management and Presentation Skills are becoming important areas of development in a progressive agricultural industry, and Sandy can take the credit for introducing these skills to many farmers. Executive Top to Toe Package Testimonial:
“We have used the services of Public i to assist our clients
over an extended period. The flexibility of Helen and Sandy to address
individual issues of self-confidence and impact, as well as the more
general aspects of appearance has been important in overcoming some
career transition hurdles. All our clients have been very satisfied
with the session and have enjoyed the experience. A few were transformed.”Programme of Workshops on Personal Impact Testimonial:
I first met Sandy when she spoke at a dinner presentation at a London
investment management house, where she spoke on the subject of Image.Whilst I may have imagined that a presentation on image would be very light weight, and Sandy's presentation was certainly engaging, it was also well researched and thought provoking, and she made some extremely good business points. A colleague and I were so impressed that we asked Sandy to come and speak to senior members of our organisation. Abacus Financial Services Group (now part of Royal Bank of Canada Global Private Banking) is a wealth management business and it is important that our clients trust us, value our skills, and can communicate freely with us. We regularly invite speakers to address our senior people on a range of subjects, but these are mostly technical or general business subjects in the more conventional sense. The objective is to provide ongoing training for our people to help them keep up to date and to deal with their clients more effectively by understanding and achieving their objectives. The purpose of inviting Sandy to speak was to highlight the importance of non verbal communication. Sandy's talk had a record attendance, and feedback following the event showed that attendees found it enjoyable, interesting and stimulating. There were also changes of behaviour, which have continued. I have no hesitation in providing this testimonial for Sandy. |
