Rebecca House from Holistic House of Health, will be speaking on: Does your appearance represent your business and why it matters…?!

Are you aware that it takes 90 seconds to make a first impression and only 5% of that is down to the impact of what you’re actually saying. The visual aspect is nearly 70% so it REALLY matters how you look.

If you want all your meetings in life, business or otherwise to be more successful then consider the following:

  1. Are your clothes an acceptable reflection of who you are as a person?
  2. What do they say about you?
  3. What would you want them to say about you?

Rebecca combines her passion for health and well-being with her knowledge of colour and style to give you practical tips on how to look well and feel even better. 

Using the considerable teaching experience she has gained from working in higher education for nearly 20 years and her extensive work as a therapist she now delivers small group interactive workshops teaching people basic techniques that are easy to learn and simple to use and that give you the power to change your life.
