Hotel Celeste Makati was abuzz with interest and enthusiasm as members of the Philippine Chapter Initiative of the Association of Image Consultants International and their guests trooped to the fourth floor function room to attend the much-awaited Third Image Forum.
Extra chairs had to be brought in to seat the blockbuster audience. Delby Bragais, the President, was beaming with pride and pleasure as she welcomed members and guests alike. Karen Agustin-Ostrea, the President-Elect, hosted the event and called on Abby Arenas-de Leon to introduce the main speaker, Dina H. Loomis.
Dina regaled the audience with her action-packed and fast-moving talk entitled “Multiply Your Income with Presentation Mastery.” She called on one of the guests, Julius Magno, to deliver an impromptu talk using the outline that she presented. Instant feedback and suggestions for improvement were given by Brooks Loomis. A great roar of delight came from the audience when they were treated to a fireworks display on the screen followed by a rain of confetti at the end of her presentation.
Karen introduced the second speaker, Toastmasters International Champion speaker, Orly Tugob, who spoke on the topic “Effective Negotiation Skills.” A quiz was given to everyone to determine each individual’s negotiation style. Orly’s talk elicited a flurry of questions and comments and a high level of excitement.
Delby quipped, “Dina and Orly you have both gained an instant fans club tonight.”
