Every Journey Begins with a Single Step
Successful people with strong personal trademarks are not just born, they are created.
At Powerful Impressions™ we are passionate about human potential and have developed one-of-a-kind programs to help individuals build their personal trademarks and inspire them to deliver on their trademark promise in a way that is authentic to them.
The Powerful Impressions™ program empowers individuals with skills, strategies and tools to shape their public profile.
Today, Personal Trademarking is being used by anyone who wants to take charge of their career or excel in their profession.
Think trademarking is only for celebrities and elite athletes? Think again.
It doesn’t matter if you are unemployed, self-employed, work within a corporate structure or a budding entrepreneur – the guiding principles are the same.
In today’s world, a strong personal trademark is even more important when job security is a thing of the past, when online reputations travel in the stroke of a key thanks to Google and when social media plays such an important role in both our personal lives and businesses.
All of these factors make it critically important to take control of your personal and professional image.
Developing your trademark will help drive your name onto the radar of industry leaders and advance your career faster than you ever thought possible.
The team at Powerful Impressions™ understands the importance of innovation and our social and professional development programs have been designed to motivate, inspire and engage all participants.
The Powerful Impressions modules are available as workshops, private tuition and both corporate and customised programs. The interactive, hands on presentations empowers people with the ability to stand out from the crowd, a factor frequently deemed more important for success today than how clever or capable you are.
