“Joseph
has presented to
the NRL team and
also our junior elite
squad.
The
first occasion was
to work with our
elite juniors and
deliver a program
of etiquette training,
and more importantly,
how to present themselves
in a more professional
manner. The session
helped our players
recognise some general
etiquette rules and
to present confidently.
The
second occasion was
a networking skills
seminar for our NRL
players. During the
course of their playing
careers our athletes
come into contact
with a lot of corporate
partners. The session
was designed to help
them understand some
business etiquette
rules and how to
build a relationship
with corporate partners.
The session was also
designed to help
them recognise and
take advantage of
opportunities that
occur as a result
of that relationship.
The
feedback from the
players has been
very positive – surprising
when you consider
the normal stereotyping
associated with Rugby
League players.
In
both instances I
have found Joseph’s
sessions to be relevant
and professional
in their delivery
and would not hesitate
in recommending his
company to anyone
who was interested.”

“I
thought I knew everything
there was to know
about how to dress
professionally in
a business environment.
In hindsight the
books I had studied
and magazines I had
read on the subject
were mostly too generic
and not appropriate
for my work environment.
Dealing
with senior management
and sales professionals,
it is vital to create
the right first impression.
In the competitive
corporate world I
believe having the
right image is comparable
to good branding.
When
I met Joseph I asked
him to objectively
critique my dress
and appearance. I
was impressed by
his articulate manner,
depth of knowledge
and practical suggestions.
As I was in the market
for a new car at
the time he even
suggested the brand
and model vehicle
to complement the
overall image.
In
my opinion Joseph
Alegre would be one
of the most competent
image consultants
in Australia and
I have no hesitation
in recommending his
services particularly
for those in the
business sector.”

“I
have employed Joseph
as a Style Consultant.
He
made me very aware
of what style is
and how to put colours
together. This gave
me the confidence
to know that when
I’m in front
of people speaking,
I present well and
more importantly,
my dress is congruent
with my message.
I
thoroughly recommend
Joseph’s services
to anyone. I only
wish I could have
done this work with
him years ago.”

“Joseph’s
image presentation
was entertaining
and valuable, but
what really captured
my attention were
the effective methods
he used to convey
his message. He was
also flexible in
his approach, able
to tailor the advice
to the particular
interests of the
people present. My
staff regularly comments
on how valuable the
experience was.”

“Joseph
made a presentation
at a Chamber of Commerce
members' breakfast.
The presentation
covered a lot more
ground than was expected.
His training certainly
goes a lot deeper
than just providing
fashion tips!
After
the presentation
Joseph’s top
ten tips for smartening
up your business
image were included
on our website, and
his article received
more hits than any
other such story
on our site, ever!”

“During
my short time with
Joseph, I found him
to be a well presented
and professional
individual with an
engaging style.”
Bernie
Rorke
Business Coach
Action International
“Joseph’s
expertise in the
area of presenting
a professional image
and his understanding
of life skills in
general has grown
my image and confidence
in my own ability.
As a business coach
I need to perform
consistently at the
highest levels to
achieve my dreams
and goals and those
of my clients. His
coaching and mentoring
has enabled me to
already achieve goals
and set me well on
the path of achieving
the potential I desire.”
Guy
Saayman
Adviser Service Manager
Advance Asset Management
“Joseph
presented to our
Sales Team as part
of our annual conference.
His presentation
was humorous as well
as raising some interesting
issues regarding
personal grooming
and presentation.
One
comment made was
regarding “outlandish” ties.
This made a few people
squirm, including
myself. I have always
been proud of my
distasteful collection
of ties.
The
presentation was
professional whilst
maintaining humility.
Joseph was also aware
of people’s
feelings and was
selective in the
language used.
I
would not hesitate
in recommending
Joseph and his
team. The concepts
introduced are
tangible and
pertinent. The
fundamentals
teach you to
be aware of your
client base and
considerate of
how you carry
yourself. First
impressions are
hard to change.”
