Three Charismalab Case Studies
In 2004 Sue Raby, the Management Development Director at Arcadia Group, invited Charismalab to provide some advanced communication and presentation skills training to help their senior brand managers and high potential leadership candidates develop gravitas and charisma. The training has taken the form of both one to one coaching and group sessions on voice, body language, persona and personal energy management. Our relationship continues to be successful as Charismalab is now an integral part of the training and development programme at Arcadia.
We regularly deliver high impact, Charismalab programmes for the L'Oreal training Academy in London. The course is offered to L'Oreal's valued Salon clients and is called 'Developing the X Factor'. It is aimed at raising awareness around the issue of self presentation for stylists and Salon managers. Hairdressing is the business of 'Positive Transformation' and the creative stylist's potential to affect and influence clients self esteem and personal development is enormous. There is also an element of performance involved as the best stylists not only demonstrate their expertise in their work but also in the way the present themselves. Just like great performers on the stage and screen the star stylists create a positive and uplifting experience for their clients. L'Oreal are delighted with the unique and dynamic courses we deliver at the academy and also use Charismalab to coach their 'Matrix' touring teams that perform staged hairdressing and product demonstrations to large groups up and down the country.
We currently coach several senior executives at BP at an advanced level. This is both around communication and leadership skills. BP are a progressive and innovative company and this is reflected in the diverse and exciting personal and professional development opportunities they offer their people. We are absolutely delighted that Charismalab is part of their training and development programme.
