Why you need to be here
Join our workshop to discover how photography, speaking skills and styling can elevate your presence and help you shine. Unleash your potential in a vibrant environment where creativity and confidence come together!
Join us for an unforgettable experience where creativity meets passion; generating insights around:
-
First impressions are hard to change: Your clothes begin shaping perception before you've had the chance to prove your expertise.
-
Polish isn't superficial... It's strategic: When your presence, your message, + how you speak reinforces who you are, people notice, trust and remember you.
-
Small details can have a big cost: An outdated headshot, the wrong visual message can quietly undermine credibility and opportunity.
An evening with a photographer, public speaking strategist and stylist
Meet the Team

​
You'll leave with practical strategies to strengthen your personal brand, elevate your executive presence and ensure your visual and verbal message reflects the leader you are.
Mahnaz
Photographer
Mahnaz is the camera-wielding friend you didn't know you needed. A portrait photographer in Orange County and a former architect, she builds every frame around structure and light, then spends the session making sure you forget the camera is there. Her portraits are for people ready to be seen as they actually are.
Itica
Communications Strategist
Itica is a 3x Emmy Award winning TV news anchor & reporter, for more than 20 years Itica was live on the air where there were no second chances to do it again. Today, she works with professionals like you, aligning their message, presence and delivery for maximum impact.
Vinnie
Personal Stylist
Vinnie believes your wardrobe should be your secret weapon, not a source of stress. Through closet curation and capsule wardrobes, he helps professionals dress with intention. His clients arrive saying they have nothing to wear and leave with a closet where everything works together.
