WOMAN of ACTION™
Shannon Smith
“What I do now for others, I have done for myself.”
” We all have a story and I have mine. I would not be where I am now if I did not come from where I came from. I believe that there are no accidents in life…that we truly have our own path to walk…our own destiny. It’s been my experience that the individuals I coach do not understand their magnificence. We are all unique, and enter this realm with our own set of talents. We are born perfect…and if born in the likeness of our creator, the universe or whatever your belief…why would we be anything else..
More often than not, it’s not about the external image, although it plays a very important part in who we are right now and what we eventually become if we reach our Destiny.”
It’s ours to make the most of what we have in the short time we are here.

In North America and around the world, it is our experience that individuals and companies long for more elegance and style in life. They want to return to traditional lifestyles when proper etiquette and gracious manners ruled the day.
In business, there is a return to more conventional, conservative values. Casual work ethics and grooming, public rudeness, the lack of dining etiquette and social skills will no longer be tolerated. The signs are everywhere.
In America, the business suit has returned for both men and women. Executives and entrepreneurs who have neglected their personal image and manners now need to update their wardrobe and grooming, and become more sophisticated.
Company executives from China and around the world also want to learn social and etiquette and international protocol to do business in North America and Europe, and vice versa.
Afternoon tea, an old English tradition, has become one of the trendiest ways to meet and greet people and create relationships, personal or business.
North Americans are fascinated with Old World traditions and history. They are eager to find ways to meet European royal families and emulate their manners and lifestyles.
“Power Manners” – How to Use Your Personal Skills for Business and Social Success is available in Canada at Chapters and Indigo and through www.powermanners.com or www.premiereimageintl.com .
Take it from me – elegance is the new hallmark of being successful.
Personal Branding
It’s a known fact that companies hire and promote candidates who are obviously attractive. Attractiveness is more than good manners and grooming – it’s about conducting yourself with confidence and style too! That’s what we call your personal brand. Attractiveness is more than dressing and grooming.

What is Personal Brand Development?
It’s all about the impression you make in the first few seconds of meeting someone. Your wardrobe and grooming, the way you shake hands, your smile, your personal scent, your manner of speaking and voice quality – all these combine to establish your personal brand.
