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.

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. Our individual sense of responsibility towards daily habits that contribute to the well being of our environment and world-at-large is included. Etiquette is very important in any business and in life. Your personality and manners are reviewed, that can help you excel in any career.

ETTIQUETTE
The skills needed to be confident and present oneself in a wide variety of social situations are reviewed and demonstrated. This included dining out, self-introductions, parties for all age groups, etiquette for weddings, funerals and special events. Travel courtesies and world-side customs, and the diplomacy appreciated by citizens of other countries are taught. For age-appropriate students, dating etiquette is also taught.

SKIN CARE ANALYSIS
