In-Depth Course Description:
PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT
The building of one's self-image and confidence is the key of these sessions. Self-acceptance, positive thinking and increased self-confidence are cornerstones to the entire program experience. The use of creative visualizations as a reference tool is often used. Job interview workshops are also included as an aid in learning professional presentation.
SELF ESTEEM & CONFIDENCE
The Julie Nation Personal Development Program's most important purpose is to honor and assist each student's inner beauty and strength as an individual. In encouraging an attitude of believing in oneself, and loving oneself, we support each student's growth in knowing that personal goals and dreams can be achieved. The power of self-confidence is the philosophy followed in each class session. Although formal religion classes are not taught, we acknowledge the value of the students choosing a spiritual path meaningful to them.
VISUAL POISE WORKSHOPS
Posture and body language is taught for each student to apply to personal life as well as professional situations. In addition to creating healthy posture habits, effective body language communication is taught for job interviews, stage and sales presentations. Techniques are presented in keeping with current trends and include pivots and turns, arm and head movement, coat/accessory techniques, expressions, terminology, visual poise, and use of props.
COMMUNICATION & VOCAL EXPRESSION
Communication skills are emphasized as they apply to successful personal as well as professional self-expressions. The tools of good speech are studied; breathing techniques, pronunciation, inflection, gestures, facial expression, vocabulary choices and emotion projection are included. Students prepare a dramatic reading and their presentation is taped for self-evaluation along with the instructor's recommendations for improvement.
SOCIAL AWARENESS
This session focuses on the value of self-respect and consideration. Peer group pressure, establishing one's value system, confidence in being an individual, and making one's own decisions are topics also discussed.

Etiquette is very important in any business and in life. Your personality and manners are reviewed, that can help you excel in any career.
PERSONAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS
The attributes of developing and practicing leadership skills are identified and demonstrated in real-life social and employment situations. The pride of standing on one's own feet, and creating one's own unique path to achieve self-chosen goals, rather than following the crowd is emphasized. The obstacles present in our culture to personal success are also discusses, as well as how to overcome these obstacles.
PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDES & AGENCY PROCEDURES
The three P's: Professionalism, Pride, and Performance are reviewed. Students chart their own evaluations and goals, envisioning the picture of their ideal self attributes assigned to their personal vision. Also, to advance one's career in modeling, a thorough understanding of agency registration and procedures is needed. Model's release forms and contracts are reviewed. The composition of the resume is accomplished. Students in class perform mock agency interviews with an agency director.

These sessions are taught keeping job interviews, runway, and photography "looks" in mind.

Flexibility in look is stressed along with suitability for particular moods and fashion.
