Presence With A Purpose™

Teen Image & Fashion Workshops

High School girls are at risk. Many have poor or no role models to inform them on what the proper social norms are which are the pre-cursers for success. They suffer from low self esteem, lack confidence and look to their peers or the TV for guidance on how to act and dress. Unfortunately too often, this just worsens the problem. Young women need positive affirmation, knowledge and the tools to succeed. Information is a start. The more positive input that is fed to them, the more they become empowered and emboldened.

Workshop topics can include any of the following:

• Importance of first impressions
• The impact of image and why an effective and pulled together image = power and confidence
• The consequences of a negative image
• Image and self esteem
• The fundamentals of a young woman’s wardrobe
• Understanding and embracing different body types
• Dressing to flatter the body
• Key Wardrobe Don’ts for young women
• Establishing poise, presence and confidence
• Fashion Influencers: The Impact of them, Who they are, and whether they are appropriate role models
• Understanding how to wow with color
• Finishing touches: Accessories
• Dressing for Different Occasions: School/Social/ Casual/ Church/ Prom

"My day with Natalie learning about how the way I dress and carry myself is a day I will never forget. Being a senior in high school and still trying to figure out who I am is a journey, which is why it is important to dress the way I want others to perceive me. Natalie is such a sincere person but also told me what was good and what was bad, even if it wasn’t quite what I wanted to hear. (No purple prom dress for me) On the other hand, she worked with me to find the colors that don’t just make me look good, but make me look the best!
I can’t thank you enough for what you have taught me, not only about the colors I choose and the accessories I wear, but by showing confidence, you can go along way."

"Meeting with Natalie was great. Before, I didn't really pay much attention to fashion, but now when I'm in a store I can pick out things that are good for me. Also, I notice myself paying more attention to what other people are wearing, and realizing what colors do and don't look good on them, as well as with my self. Doing this program and spending time with Natalie has changed my whole outlook on fashion and colors."

"Natalie helped me find an amazing pair of jeans! Her workshop helped everyone in some way or another. It was good to learn about the different body types, even if it wasn't yours. The color portion helped with finding "your" color and colors for different seasons that worked for you. It was helpful to watch her on the color portion with the others. You could see what she was talking about on the other people. For example, when she held up a color swatch, you could she how that color changed that person's skin tone.
When Natalie was talking to you one on one, it was very easy to talk to her. She never made anyone feel uncomfortable or out of their element. She was an extremely warm and open person. Her compliments were very inspirational. After it was all over, she sent an e-mail to us and gave each one of us personal reminders. Natalie's workshop was a good experience along with her advice being very helpful."
