What do our clients say about us?
“Angèle Desgagné was a perfect fit for our Women Sales Manager’s Conference. The tips and tricks she presented on developing a personal brand were both effective and insightful, and this resonated with our audience. The advice she gave on creating a winning first impression was honest and heartfelt, and we now realize how perceptions play a critical role in determining career success.”
Organizing committee for the GMCC Women Sales Manager’s Conference / General Mills
“I would like to thank you for the very professional presentation you gave to our York graduate students this semester. It was very much appreciated by all the students. You have a very nice presentation style. Because they are entering into the business world at the MBA level, many of our students will assume management positions at the very beginning of their working careers. Image will play a major role in their personal and their career development. Your expert advice on personal style and grooming will serve them well in their transition and into their future growth.”

“I must thank you for helping with a huge challenge I had to face in my teaching career. Finding an interesting presentation to enrich my 40 girls of 16 years of age is not an easy task. This is particularly difficult considering that keeping girls of this age interested for so many hours is virtually impossible. You accomplished it all, especially in such a limited space.
The girls in my class have limited French skills but I must congratulate you on presenting in French in such a manner that all the girls understood. Your presentation on image, makeup and etiquette was extraordinary. You varied the well-prepared activities with excellent pace. You were able to understand their level of needs and interests. You kept them involved by motivating them and allowed them to interact. You were able to help them by offering them personal tips with your expertise analysis.”
Heidi ~ French Instructor / St-Mildred’s-Lightbourn School, Oakville Ontario
“Dear Angèle … Thank you for coming to St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School to speak with my Co-op class regarding proper Image and Etiquette in the work place. Your presentation was excellent. Your enthusiasm, knowledge and creative presentation along with a nice sense of humour, kept the students very interested and they were able to come away with a wealth of information that will certainly assist them in the working world. I hope that you will, once again, share this knowledge with my other classes.”
