Before founding her own consulting company, Patricia Stephenson worked as a successful professional model, appearing on local and national television, in magazines and on countless runways.
During her 15 year modeling career, she was state certified to teach personal development, poise, communication skills (verbal and nonverbal), and etiquette. She was invited to educate students in some of America's most prominent finishing schools. In addition, she was certified to train professional models - presenting extensively throughout the United States.
Her training classes included all aspects of:
Communication Skills - Body Language & Nonverbal Communication - Dining Etiquette - Wardrobe Planning - Poise & Polish - Fashion, Designers & Trends - Manners & Social Graces - Grooming - Posture & Walk - Preparing For The Camera - Runway Routines - Makeup & Skin Care - Hair Care & Styling...and much more!
It was a natural transition to go from training professional models to teaching executives how to "package" themselves for successful careers.
On a personal note…
Patricia served on the Board of Trustees and the Board of Directors of 'Win For The Kids', a non-profit organization of volunteers who have raised more than one million dollars for abused, neglected, developmentally disadvantaged and HIV positive children in Palm Beach County, Florida, in addition to serving on several boards and committees of other local charities.
A charter member, Patricia also served as Chairman of the National Nominating Committee for the Executive Women's Golf Association, an organization with over 80 chapters nationally, in addition to memberships in several other professional associations.
