Fall Series
It's All About You!
When was the last time you focused on yourself? As a professional, it's easy to neglect your needs and devote your energy and resources to advancing your career. But, your health and the health of your business go hand in hand.
At WBCS, we're taking a holistic approach this fall with the Table Topics theme "It's All About You!" Attend the September 9 session to learn how to support your message through the use of color. On October 7, retrain your brain using positive psychology, and on November 11, discover ways to navigate through a major life shift and re-engineer your tomorrow.
September Topic:
Supporting Your Message
Successfully Communicating with Color
Presented by
Cathrine Hatcher, President of Personas ID
Did you know that colors can create feelings that can support or detract from your message? Our human response to color is psychological. Learn more about communicating non-verbally while supporting your message through the use of color with your wardrobe choices and in your professional branding.
