Image Consultant - Sharon Kay Glickman
If your image isn't as polished as it could be, Sharon Kay Glickman removes the tarnish.
Glickman is a professional business and life coach who moved here from Washington, D.C. and brought her image sophistication business with her. “Even though I lived in Washington, D.C., and many other large cities," she says, "when I visited Greenville, I loved the more relaxed pace of life, the friendliness of the people and the amazing, rich culture available in a city of this size. I continued my business in Greenville and it’s a good base for expanding in the Southeast.”
What does a business executive do when he or she realizes its time for an image update? They take a crash course in improving their personal and business image, increasing their confidence and self esteem, mastering non-verbal communication and boosting their revenue. They hire Sharon Kay Glickman Associates.
Glickman promises to give individual attention to clients looking to make over their lives. She specializes, she says, in regularly “sparking transformations through which people look 20 years younger, discover a more integrated sense of personal style, or dramatically increase their organization’s revenues.”
An important area of her expertise, says Glickman, is working with companies and small businesses by giving seminars and coaching their executives in communication skills, nonverbal communication, and personal effectiveness and style,
“When I am coaching, I see the passion in people developing and evolving and (I) get so excited and thrilled at being part of it,” she says.
Glickman has received national attention for her lifestyle image makeovers, appearing on CBS Sunday Morning, in the Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
For us now, a quickie crash course – what mistake do men make most? “The biggest mistake,” asserts Glickman, “is that they don’t go shopping – their tailoring is neglected. They don’t have the correct color or posture and they lack the body language – all of which can be taught in less than an hour.”
And women? “Most women want to look taller, younger, richer, thinner and sexier. We need to talk about camouflage dressing, which is enhancing their best features.”
Think you could use some image help? Glickman is offering a workshop in Greenville on March 13th entitled, "A New Year - A New You: Optimizing your image and presence."
