I didn’t know what to expect from the workshop since this was my first-time hosting anything like this. I must say I was blown away by the content you provided and your professionalism and demeanor, both of which I believe will have a lasting impact on the students (and myself because I learned a lot too!). I hope to do a similar event next year and will certainly keep you in mind. In the meantime, I have already circulated your name to some departments who I think could use your expertise and will continue to do so around Georgia State.

Peggy is an absolute joy. She became a part of our team for one day in helping them to have a better understanding of etiquette, manners and social norms. She presented this with humor, patience and determination. I highly recommend Peggy and the services she can bring to a team. Thanks Peggy!

Peggy customized training for our organization that fit perfectly with the messages we were trying to convey to our employees. She is a dynamic speaker that uses personal stories to help educate and entertain her audience. I would be pleased to work with Peggy again!
~Jennifer Caraballo, Senior Director of Human Resources at Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, Inc.
Peggy prepared and delivered an impactful presentation to a women’s professional organization for which I sit on the board, addressing topics such as business and tech etiquette, professional appearance and impressions, and strategies for working a room to win business. Peggy exudes confidence in her delivery, peppered with humor, and was well received by the group. Her direct approach was effective, and everyone left the presentation more comfortable in one aspect or another of business etiquette and professionalism. I endorse Peggy without reservation and would welcome the opportunity to work with and learn from her again.

Peggy was kind enough to take time to speak at the November 2014 Technology Association of Georgia Young Professional event on Business Etiquette. Peggy was very interactive with the crowd and provided great insight into various business etiquette topics. Peggy provided the crowd with several helpful tips and reminders on imaging and personal brand. We received nothing but positive feedback from the over 70 individuals in attendance at the event. While our event may have not been what Peggy would typically be asked to present at, I found that she was able to effectively tailor her presentation to her time-frame and the level of the audience. I would strongly recommend Peggy Parks to anyone looking for image and professional training rather it be for a large crowd or an individual session.

The Jabian team truly enjoyed Peggy Parks’ training seminar, “Edge Out Your Competition,” related to personal branding and image. Her interactive and thought-provoking style was very beneficial and entertaining for our group. Peggy was very generous with her time and was a pleasure to work with during the planning of the event. Her tips and supporting documentation were also valuable to us and have been used as references on multiple occasions. The comments regarding the seminar from our consultants were extremely positive and we are working on additional topics for Peggy to present to our organization in the future.

Peggy taught several classes on Customer Relations and Professionalism to our sales organization. Peggy provided us many great ideas and reminders on personal image, support of our brand and on customer communication. She kept the class engaged every time and did an exceptional job with customizing the class for our team. I would strongly recommend Peggy Parks for image and professionalism training.

Thank you, Peggy, for reminding us that first impressions are vital to beginning positive relationships. My entire legal staff is now on board with representing my firm’s brand at all times because of your outstanding presentation. Whether choosing appropriate attire, hosting a business lunch, or communicating clearly, we are prepared for any situation. My 15-year old daughter is also more confident and mindful. I am so glad I brought her along to the workshop. I will be recommending you to others in the future.

Peggy M. Parks offers and presents a captivating polished program of appeal to a wide variety of audiences, including those across many generations. Peggy presented a version of her “Edge Out Your Competition” program tailored to our accounting managers and partners about both business etiquette and personal presentation as part of our ongoing business development education. She exudes a high degree of knowledge and confidence in her delivery thus she motivated our audience to adopt new and traditional modes of behavior.
~Cindy Stanton, Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer, Gifford, Hillegass & Ingwersen, LLP
From the first moment I saw Peggy M. Parks at a joint AAM/LMA meeting, I knew she was a woman to remember. Interestingly, later that morning she introduced herself to the group of professional services marketers as “Peggy Parks – you never have a second chance to make a GREAT first impression!” She made a GREAT impression on me – so great that we hired Peggy to teach the women of our office how to portray similar professional images.
~Laura A. Snyder, Director of Marketing, Porter Keadle Moore, LLP
Thank you for your refreshing insight into the world of professional image. Our leadership development participants, as well as myself, really enjoyed the workshop and left determined to follow several of your suggestions!
