Learn How Professional Polish Boosts Business Success at HBN's September Meeting

Join the Homebased Businesswomen’s Network, Inc. (HBN) at 7:00 PM, Thursday, September 9, 2010, at the Village Green Restaurant, Route #1-North, Newbury Street, Danvers, MA, to learn “How Professional Polish Boosts Business Success.” HBN invites members and guests to enjoy this informative evening program with networking opportunities.

Do you know how to “put your best face forward” to present a polished and self-confident image to the world? Professional polish matters, according to Kelly O’Connor, a Peabody, MA-based Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant, who notes that it can be to your business advantage to look your best. Studies show that in some cases, how you look is more important than what's on your resume or professional biography. If people feel comfortable with you and can see themselves enjoying working with you, then they are more likely to do business with you or recommend you.

At HBN’s September meeting, Kelly will explain how to bring out the best in your appearance, focusing on why it’s important to take care of your skin and how to do it. She’ll also share tips on applying makeup and using it to look younger. Self-confidence is a powerful business tool, and that self-confidence is influenced by how you feel and look. When you know that you look good, you carry yourself differently and present yourself to the world with confidence.
