Face it: first impressions matter. When you’re
due for your job interview, what your future employer sees and gauges won’t be your
curriculum vitae in paper, but more
importantly, the way you present and carry yourself. In essence, you are your
own resumé; putting your best face and attitude forward can make the
difference.
Talent management and events company Brand
Ambassadors Circle, in cooperation with AMPR Publicity and Communications Inc.,
is staging a combat field to hone one's own personality. The event is named: "Elevate:
Discovering the New Shades of You!" a fun, engaging, and holistic
personality development seminar for aspiring models, talents and even
individuals seeking to improve their internal and external personality aspects.

Powerhouses in the self-image and development
industry are the main guest speakers for this workshop. Self-enrichment
consultant and trainer Marina Benipayo and industry-acclaimed stylist Jear De
Mc Cuttac are at the helm to share their personal experiences and vast insights. They will teach practical ways on topics that
include modeling, speech and communications, personal styling, and image
building.
Marina is both a familiar face and a formidable
force in Philippine fashion for more than two decades, from gracing the pages
and covers of premium glossy to dominating the runway. Marina admits that it
wasn’t as easy getting to the top; as she had to compete with her contemporaries
who possessed the oft-demanded mestiza-look. Marina’s chinita features - chinky, doe-like
eyes, and a lovely pear-shape face, made her unique in the industry that
ultimately changed the game.
"I must admit that competing with them was
impossible––beauty-wise,” Marisa reveals. “There was a standard of beauty back
then. But I tried to do something that they were not used to. How I did it? There's
really no secret: it’s something that everyone knows yet keeps forgetting:
That when we're on the stage, we should think of the audience and what
they would like to see.”
By undergoing personality development
programs, she overcame her stage fright. This allowed her to reinvent
herself, and catapult her to stardom. Her credentials is a long, illustrious
career: victories in modeling competitions; being chosen to represent the
Philippines as Miss World; being part of a major campaign in the promoting the
country’s tourism, among many others.
But above all, she has acquired unique wisdom
that allowed her to reach out and mentor people seeking self-improvement through
behavior management, human dynamics, and other aspects of self-development.
"My talks are mainly based on personality
development,” she emphasizes, “you develop the personality that you have as an
individual, discover your strengths, weaknesses, capabilities and limitations,
and then you work on that.”
Attending this one-day course is like
"hitting two birds with one stone.” Participants also get to be trained by
her equally eloquent and talented instructor Jear, particularly on the
importance of image enhancement and styling in order to stand out and enter a
class of their own in a highly competitive environment.
Set to unfold at the SMX Convention Center
on October 11, 2014, luminaries and attendees from various industries, such
as advertising, entertainment, event management and media, will converge in
this self-enriching seminar. Amidst a spirit of fun, flowing food, and
freebies, a select pool of speakers led by Marina will reveal the unique
journey of uplifting and empowering one’s authentic self. Are you ready to take
the step forward?
