Training Workshops
Jill Bremer offers training workshops that are customized to your particular company and industry. Depending on your needs and schedule, these workshops can last from one-half day to several days and include activities and exercises, as well as customized visuals and workbooks.
IMAGE INSIGHT®
Image Insight® workshops go a step beyond conventional programs: they not only teach the “how” of image development but the “why” as well. Image development is an essential business skill that can improve an individual’s effectiveness and productivity, as well as the company’s bottom line. Professionalism, social graces, and effective communication skills can be taught and they, in turn, set the climate for success. When each element of image has been analyzed and developed, confidence and success is the result.
SPEAKABILITIES®
The SpeakAbilities® program offers individuals and small groups the coaching and guidance they need to deliver superior presentations. Whether it’s a formal presentation, project report, technical demo, or motivational keynote, this program can help you take control, say it with confidence, and get the results you desire. All aspects of content development and delivery techniques are taught and coached in a supportive environment.
SERVING UP SUCCESS
Serving Up Success is a fun and highly interactive dining etiquette workshop which has been presented to corporations, associations, and graduate and undergraduate programs around the country.

CIVILITY IN THE WORKPLACE
Rudeness in the workplace has reached a crisis point! Civility in the Workplace helps participants build civility awareness, learn replacement strategies, and improve their communication skills and conflict resolution methods. Whether you’ve seen it, heard it, been a victim of it, or need to manage it, this groundbreaking class is for you.

“We hired Jill to develop and deliver new training for our Sales and Operations Development Programs in the areas of Corporate Image, Business Communications and Dining Etiquette. Jill did a fantastic job of customizing training for new entry-level hires making the transition from college to the corporate world. The feedback we have received about her training has been great and we believe her training has provided an excellent foundation for the trainees to build their careers upon.”

“Jill did an Image Workshop for our employees and it was a roaring success! Many of the staff came up to me after the workshop and thanked me for inviting Jill in because they felt they got so much out of the time she spent with us. Jill’s workshop was worth every penny spent, both for the information imparted and the change of attitude and awareness it created for our staff.”

“Your workshop, ’Business Communication Strategies’, hit the mark as evidenced by the positive survey feedback and the engaging discussions that were raised throughout the presentation. I have already started to experience the beneficial effects of the workshop at work across my team.”

Answers to Fall 2011 newsletter quiz:
1. MAYBE – In the workplace, deference is not based on gender, but on rank. So if the female entering the room outranks you, you (males and females both) should stand. However, if the female superior is someone you see on a regular basis, there is no need to jump to your feet. Save the standing for the superiors you interact with only occasionally.
2. MAYBE – Ideally, whoever reaches the door first should open it for those who follow. But to be proper, the lower-ranking person should open for the higher-ranks. A note to women – many men feel awkward when a woman holds the door for them and they will often take the lead with the door. Don’t argue with them, just say “thank you” and walk through!
3. FALSE – It’s only proper to use people’s first names if they’ve given permission to you to do so (“Oh please, call me John.”) or if you can surmise that you’re approximately the same age and rank as them. Otherwise, use an honorific (Mr., Ms, Dr, etc.) + last name.
