Have you ever wished that you had a fairy godmother that would come and bless your life with glitter, money and Versace?
In the hyper competitive business world, we often only have 3-5 seconds to make a great first impression. Even if we don’t want it to be the case, the way we present ourselves can have a major impact on whether or not we get that job interview, business deal or media opportunity.
Our mothers have blocked us from casting any spells (AMEN) but we have been able to pull together an amazing collaboration to help you upgrade your style, confidence and business in one quick swoop!
We’re proud to introduce Presence and Poise, an exciting new makeover series to help improve the business skills and confidence of up and coming women in our community. In collaboration with global beauty giant Dark and Lovely in Africa, Presence and Poise will identify five women who are working hard to build a business but need coaching and support to get to that next level.
Selected participants will win a complimentary trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, business coaching from a seasoned expert and a beauty and style makeover by Dark and Lovely Haircare Experts. After the makeover they will also be introduced to potential business partners, mentors or investors who can help support their business moving forward.
To be considered for a makeover, follow these simple steps:
- Upload a video onto Instagram on why you deserve a business makeover and use the hashtag #PresencexPoise
- Include your City and Country in your caption
- Follow @DarkandLovelyAfrica and @SheLeadsAfrica
Applications close on 14 April 2017 at 11:59pm WAT.
After your makeover, you’ll be walking into your next meeting like this.
