Image and Confidence Workshop

Sharon Wilson and Lukas Kroulik are passionate about supporting people to get them back into employment by developing self-awareness, building confidence and creating the right image for job interviews and the work environment.

With unemployment at an all time high, it is important to be able to present yourself in the best possible way and create the right impression with future employees.

This practical two hour workshop will help participants to take charge of their own personal image.

Self-esteem

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right."

  --  Henry Ford

Self-esteem is a reflection of a person’s overall emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. Who we believe we are based on our own and others perceptions of us whether in a positive or negative form has an overall affect on our self-esteem.  It is our foundation or core, but if it has not been nurtured and positively reinforced from childhood it can weaken during life’s challenges.

If you believe that you can do something or will give it a good try, and learn from the experience, regardless of the outcome, then you probably have high self-esteem.  However, if you believe that you will fail at something before you even start because of past experiences or a lack of confidence then it could be a form of self-fulfilling prophecy.  Regardless, if you are prepared to not give into your negative thoughts and dig deep inside to find your inner courage and confidence you could turn the situation around.

Your self-esteem can be derived from a healthy mind, body and soul, so just like a healthy lifestyle you need to look after it, work hard to get the desired results and reward successes and milestones.  It can fluctuate from time to time but try to overcome negativity and do things that build it up if it has been knocked.  Confidence is closely linked to self esteem and if you build each of them up they will make a complimentary team and contribute to your overall happiness.

Low self esteem can have a negative affect on your body image and how you see yourself.

Think of your self-esteem and confidence as a set of weighing scales.  Try to keep them balanced and if you feel either of them getting low because of an experience that didn’t go too well or it triggered something negative from your past, try to do something new you like and enjoy, spend time with positive friends and family in order to build it up, so that it regains it’s balance.  The good thing about self-esteem and confidence is that now matter how low they get, they can be built up.  Even though your negative “inner critic” might rear its head from time to time, you will be in a stronger position to be able to challenge and overcome it and get pleasure from proving it wrong.  The more you do to strengthen your self-esteem the weaker your “inner critic” will become.

Image and Personal Coaching for Youth

With unemployment at an all time high, it is important that young adults can present themselves in the best possible way and create the right impression with future employees.

Young adults might spend the majority of their teenage years wearing similar clothes so that they “fit in” and do not draw attention to themselves but as they enter the job market it is important to have the right personal image and exude the confidence that enables them to stand out from the crowd.

Image and personal coaching can make a lasting difference to the lives of young people and can help them to develop self-awareness, personal growth, confidence & self-esteem.

As a result, they will also develop a better understanding of personal identity and its relationship to visual expression in order to feel and look better at:

• Important college events
• Job interviews
• Dates
• Family events

At Chrysalis Studios we will help them to increase their confidence by conducting mock interviews and giving them constructive feedback throughout. We will also explain the importance of body language, and show them how to create the right image for important events.

Finding Your Own Personal Style

We are all individuals, with different colourings, shapes and sizes and it is our many variances that make us interesting.

Our personal style and image makes a statement without having to use words. It expresses our creativity, personality and how we might be feeling at that time. At Chrysalis Studios we believe that your personal style is a combination of recognising who you are and then reflecting this in what you wear. Our personalised life coaching & image consulting sessions will take you through a journey of self-discovery and elicit your inner confidence.

With the spring weather and summer holidays on the horizon, here are some examples of casual, business and evening wear in line with this season’s colours. Our clients have fun by experimenting with different hairstyles, make-up and accessories and adapting them for the right occasion.
