Business Programs

and Seminars.

As Colour and Image Consultants our programmes become your framework for more competent, more confident staff today.

If communication is a core function in successfully obtaining business for your organisation, then image is a key issue for you and your people.

Business in the 21st Century means more than your degree.  People buy images before product and that includes the image of your company and the image of your people.

The IT industry brought with it casual business dealings and casual dress. With that, research shows, came sloppy business habits, casual language, reduced productivity, increased sexual harassment, and less respectful communications - inter-office, intra-office, and with clients.

While the IT industry is tidying itself up, its sales forces have adopted a more appropriate style of business dress (invariably the suit). Have you noticed that?  Many mainstream businesses are still in 'casual dress freefall', unaware that smart business is swinging back to more appropriate business dress for the serious business of pleasing clients.  You will hear it being referred to as 'relaxed business' or 'appropriate business' or 'business appropriate' rather than 'casual business'.

The business suit is easy to buy, easy to wear, easy to dress up or down, and its image easy to update.  It's message is 'professional'.  Suit styles change slowly and an investment in a suit is readily re-couped over a number of years.   It defines the physique, neatens the posture and contributes to the power of an individual's presence.   Not so with casual clothing!

Casual clothing, being more relaxed on the body sends a relaxed message.  Posture becomes relaxed, even sloppy.  Casual clothing speaks more about where you'd rather be than where you are.  It does not send "I'm all present and professional".  Casual business dress is causing stress and confusion.  Casual clothing dates quickly, is more memorable and proving to be more expensive for all concerned.  Expensive for the individual and expensive for the organisation.  A number of surveys report productivity to be down by 60% on casual Fridays.  Staff are ready for the weekend on Thursday night!
