INVESTMENT DRESSING® - Always Dress One Step Above Your Customer

Lisa teaches employees how to dress at work with her seminar on Investment Dressing - Professional Presence Through Attire®. This seminar covers the importance of a first impression; guidelines for building a work wardrobe that satisfies the requirements of your company's dress code; a demonstration of how to take 10-15 pieces of clothing and accessories and make over 40 outfits - always remembering Lisa's advice: "Never buy anything unless you have two things to go with it!"; how to make your investment last; and tips for presenting a professional image in the workplace. She also works with employees one-on-one as they are recommended for promotion and need to upgrade their attire to mirror a new management position, for instance. As Lisa always says, "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have."

"In recent years we have hired Lisa to help our company reach a higher standard of dress. Lisa held seminars for our entire company tailored to our specific dress code. We noticed a huge improvement in many of the areas with which we had struggled before. Lisa is full of energy and passion for her work and truly has made a positive impact on our company."

FASHION SHOWS FOR CHARITY

I have been producing the RE/MAX charitable fashion show at their annual international convention since 2006. I produce many fashion events around the country but it is always such a joy to work with RE/MAX and their charities. My business, Fashion Shows for Charity®, produces fun events and raises money for many local and national charities. Always open both your heart and your pocket book when it comes to helping those in need. Miracles happen every day - and you can be a part of them!

The RE/MAX International Annual Convention

The 2013 RE/MAX international annual convention was held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas this year. Once again Lisa produced the fashion show for the Komen Foundation. Beautiful clothing from Dillard's Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas was highlighted with all the zippy color trends this spring has to offer. Donations were strong for Komen and the Cure! Not only was the audience extremely generous with their money but 10% of all proceeds from the Dillard's boutique on site went to Komen, as well - a gracious offering from this magnificent retailer!

After the Dillard's fashion show four breast cancer survivors from within the RE/MAX network of independent realtors told their courageous stories and then walked the runway. They were such positive and inspiring examples of our ability to overcome all odds. These women remind us to never forget to have an attitude of gratitude - and always be expectant of miracles - they happen all around us, each and every day!

What's Lisa Up To?

Lisa is very busy these days presenting customer service seminars to a variety of resort communities and small business chains. She is called often to present her Art of Retailing® series teaching merchants about advertising and promotions, merchandising and visual display techniques, and designing and retaining a complete sales team. Her skills are often requested as a private consultant. All of this to say that she is willing and able to help your business succeed through challenging times. Lisa’s past career experience has enabled her to relate to both small and large businesses alike. She has personally donned the hat of a small business owner and has also managed many corporate work environments. Lisa is qualified on both fronts and therefore understands all facets of retailing. Should you need a new idea, a new direction, a new marketing plan, or motivation for the track you are on, give her a call. It would be her great honor to help with your success!

"On behalf of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals we express our sincere appreciation on a job well done! The fashion show was successful from several perspectives - the audience experienced a first-class show; we raised a substantial amount of money to support CMNH; and our special guest Marie Osmond was able to attend the show and inspired the audience with words of encouragement to continue their support of helping kids. We received compliments from all involved and really appreciate your professionalism, creativity and thoughtfulness. Thank you for the fantastic show!""

“You have a wonderful program and presentation in The Art of Retailing: A Peddler with Panache™. Your professionalism and knowledge of the retail industry really made this seminar series a great success. We hold many seminars and your presentation by far has been one of the best. Not only were buyers coming to listen to your seminar but once the word got around we had exhibitors as well as Dallas Market Center staff sitting in this series. Thank you for making the Dallas Market Center look so good. We look forward to working with you again!”

"In recent years we have hired Lisa to help our company reach a higher standard of dress. Lisa held seminars for our entire company tailored to our specific dress code. She then performed a spot check of all offices, to see how the employees were dressing, and provided a detailed report for all executives. We noticed a huge improvement in many of the areas with which we had struggled before. The next step was teaching our management team how to enforce the dress code. Again Lisa tailored a seminar specific to our needs whereby the managers could acquire the tools needed to help their employees maintain our high standard of dress. We will continue to work with Lisa as new employees are hired and refresher seminars are needed. She is full of energy and passion for her work and truly has made a positive impact on our company. We highly recommend Lisa to deliver quality service and engaging seminars. She is the consummate professional and we look forward to a long term working relationship with her."
