It was a life lesson, but Capital FM's self-empowerment workshop was also rip-roaring fun.

WHEN she walks, she commands attention. Wearing a pretty top, black pencil skirt and high heels, her head is held high. She carries herself well and doesn't shy away from eye contact. Instead, she sends out a smile that brightens up her face and is enhanced by the rosy glow on her cheeks.

First impressions count. Creating a lasting effect is very important in today's competitive environment, where everyone is trying to stand out, hoping to create opportunities and achieve their goals which will ultimately lead to a successful career and happy life.

Capital FM's listeners were invited to their first workshop last Saturday, themed Life Class: How To Brand And Market Yourself. Only 40 listeners were invited to attend this exclusive workshop. Held at Paradox Art Café, in Petaling Jaya, the ladies were welcomed by Capital FM announcers Joanne Kam, Xandria Ooi, Deborah Raj, Non, Sheela and Priscillia Seelan.

Workshop attendees learned how to create a winning lasting impression. During the four-hour workshop, Zarina Zainal, the resident life coach on Capital FM, offered tips on how to let a person's image speak their brand.

Jynn Looi, from Benefit cosmetics, demonstrated on a listener how to create a stunning and simple day look. Zarina explained it was more than just clothing or a look. Personality has to shine through the clothes and the makeup. It's about the way women carry themselves and how they engage people, prioritising the message that needs to be sent out.

At the end of the session, the ladies were served a delicious lunch, topped with sweet treats and live music playing in the background. Each participant walked away feeling empowered and with a bag full of goodies. Melanie Lai, who attended the workshop, had this to say: "I learnt how to take it to the next level, so I can be a strong woman inside and out." Eevon Lai, another inspired listener, said, "I love the way the workshop was conducted. I soaked up every bit of fun and information. "

Fret not if you missed out on this workshop. This is only the first of many to come.
