RELOOKING: Creating That Great First Impression


"You Don't Get A Second Chance To Make A First Impression" - Mc Kenna

Many people wonder what relooking is. We live in a society of image and appearance. We are often judged and categorized at first glance. One's self image is as important as the people looking at you. Therefore we need to be satisfied with our appearance.

The role of the Image Consultant is to help us when there is a problem. Micheline Tanguy's consultancy works with the elements of Self Image, Dress Codes, Behavior and Body Language and Interpersonal Relationships.. Visit: http://www.michelinetanguy.com/

Patricia writes on being an Expat :"... As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn't matter who you are or of what origin you are. You're either French (in your head and behavior), or not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French - but seeing life internationally - on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being an expat."

"Celebrating Life: Mandalas "


Creating Your Own Mandala


Interactive
.


About Mandalas:

Photos: Groups of Expats Chez Patricia

Mandalas are used in many spiritual traditions, most notably within Tibetan Buddhism but also within Native American traditions. Modern Jungian psychology also uses the mandala as a way of exploring the hidden recesses of self.

Mandalas are used in many spiritual traditions, most notably within Tibetan Buddhism but also within Native American traditions. Modern Jungian psychology also uses the mandala as a way of exploring the hidden recesses of self. Mandalas are one of the oldest art forms in existence. They have been used throughout the ages as a way of creating healing energy and inner peace. They are used to understand out life experiences and ourselves: a way of celebrating your life.

From Nancy Caldwell:
"Ever since I was a child, my dream was to wake up each morning and spend the day being creative. Then to share these creations in a way that would bring joy to others, and inspire them to create something themselves. You might call it a version of “pay it forward.”

Over the years I have been an award-winning artist, a clothes and jewelry designer, and currently creating paper art in the form of handmade journals. Writing is always a part of my creative process. As my life changes, I discover new ways to express myself creatively and believe to be a kind of centering, healing process for me. So when I witnessed Tibetan monks creating mandalas (an ancient art form) I was intrigued. After researching and studying this art form, I began to experiment on creating one for myself. I thought about creating personalized healing mandalas as a business, but that did not feel right to me. So in the spirit of my childhood dream, it occurred to me that I could teach others to create their own, something they would benefit from far more than me doing it for them." Nancy's website is:

Weds 3 October At 18h45.
Our Guest Of Honor:

Veronique Bessonat
Business Training Consultant
"SELLING: Selling Your Ideas. Selling Your Services. Selling Yourself."


Veronique Bessonat
began a career in sales in 1983, after studies at the Sorbonne in Economics, and has never stopped. She found sales to be the perfect way to sharpen her own business tools while teaching others to succeed. Helping others to succeed has always been one of her goals.
She has created seven portfolios of customers in the fields of banking, investments, commercial training and advertising.

From Veronique:

Companies: Usually I ask the manager how much turnover he expects after the training. We discuss the possibilities to get it. Then, I present a plan, saying that the budget must be “covered” at least 3 times by the new margin. It works. Recently, I had to make 10% more turnover in two months. We had 15% more in one month.

Individuals:
I ask: how much you want to earn with your activity. And we discuss the steps to get there, and how we can make it, taking into account their personality, customers, competitors and services. And this works too, mostly because people feel that I really back them up. They feel that I want them to succeed.

Paris Soirees Dinner Chez Patricia WALKS THROUGH LOST PARIS. PATRICIA BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION SUN 30 Sept At 18h45


Thank you for including your telephone number with your reservation. Really important.

(Having trouble opening Patricia's email links to rsvp? Just copy and paste the link into your non google, internet address browser.)


RENDEZ VOUS CHEZ PATRICIAThis Sunday 30 September At 18h30 - * Patricia's Birthday Celebration!Visit Patricia's website -
http://www.parissoirees.com

Our Guest of Honor:
Leonard Pitt Author
"Walks Through Lost Paris: A Journey Into the Heart Of Historic Paris."

Lost Paris: Between 1853 and 1870, Hundreds Of Streets disappeared in Paris. Nearly 20,000 buildings were demolished and 45,000 buildings constructed in their place. Much of the city's history was lost as Medieval and Renaissance quarters crumbled.

When Leonard Pitt discovered that the Parisian neighborhood in which he once lived was entirely rebuilt during this period, he plunged headfirst into archives to try to reconstruct the city that was demolished.

Walking through neighborhoods with 19th-century maps and photos in hand, he searched for lost places Leonard Pitt left a career in advertising in 1963 to study mime in Paris with Etienne Decroux. In 1970, he returned to the U.S. and directed a school of physical theater for eighteen years, attracting students from around the world. He has performed and taught throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He lives in Berkeley, California. Visit:
www.leonardpitt.com
*From Patricia: I am especially pleased that Leonard will speak for my Birthday celebration as the history of Paris is one of my favorite subjects and one of the approaches that I use most to understand living in Paris as an Expat. Leonard will also speak at Sun 14 October's dinner on another new book - not about Paris and in an entirely different vein: "A Small Moment Of Great Illumination : Searching for Valentine Greatrakes, the Master Healer. " (Patricia's actual birthday is 1 October)

Patricia writes on being an Expat:"... As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn't matter who you are or of what origin you are. You're either French (in your head and behavior), or not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French - but seeing life internationally - on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being an expat."

Our Guest of Honor:
Meredith Mullins
Photographer

"Getting In The Rhythm of Paris"

Paris photographer Meredith Mullins shows new images and talks about going below the surface to capture the rhythms of Paris. Where do you find the passion—tango dancers, fire eaters, late-night musicians, and the ordinary person doing something that makes you take notice.

Meredith is an internationally exhibited photographer, whose work is represented in museums and private collections throughout the U.S., as well as in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. She is the author of the award-wining book In A Paris Moment (published in 2005) and photographer for the Paris 2008 calendar (Browntrout Publishers).

Meredith's photos are featured regularly in the Eye Prefer Paris insider blog about Paris : http://www.eyepreferparis.com/
