I am an ESL Instructor, Communications Specialist, Career Coach and Novice Writer specifically for your communication/ career goals, and establishing your brand. For over 11 years, I have led leadership/communication workshops (and now online sessions ) on developing leadership skills, enhancing creativity, creating a work/life balance, and many other subjects for the Toronto Board of Education, and in the non-profit and corporate sector. My approach teaches the vital importance of clear, motivational, yet caring communication. I have recently written a journaling workbook for my students/clients that contains weekly reflections with activities. It has been used by life coaches, career consultants and communications instructors.

More on Interviews.. the First Critical Minutes

e) Breath- I recommend my clients to always carry and use breath mints or breath spray. Don’t use gum to freshen your breath as you can forget you have it in your mouth.
f) Grooming- try to be impeccably turned out at all times
g) Tone of voice- watch that your voice is even tone- not harsh or anxious.
h) Posture- don’t hunch over or slouch. Don’t cross your legs. Your posture gives away your attitude and confidence level.
i) Confidence- remember that your stance is portrays how you feel about yourself.
j) Content- try to be articulate and not ramble on. Say what you have to in a concise manner.
k) Listening.- shut off your own noisy thoughts in your mind and focus on their words and issues of concern- not yours.
