The process is simple. We ask you lots of questions about your team. We can come and see your team in action. We draw up a suggested list of contents and together, we agree on these contents. Prior to the masterclass we send a short on-line questionnaire to all of your trainees. This allows us to address their individual needs, even though it is a group session.
Finally, we deliver. Where there is an on-going project of delivery, we constantly review feedback to see if further tweaks are necessary.
Below are sample contents of the most popular content for 1 day and 2 day masterclasses. However your needs may be entirely different and the contents will reflect that.
One Day Presentation Skills Masterclass
On this masterclass we get your team on their feet several times throughout the day. We do this by spending less time on theory and more time on learning by doing.
Prior to the course, we send all the attendees a short on-line questionnaire. This means, even though it is a group course, we know the needs of each individual. Having this information helps the facilitator to coach each person on their own specific needs.
Who Would Benefit?
This highly impactful programme is for those who have to deliver presentations, contribute at meetings or who have to take part in conference calls and need to enhance their skills.
Number of Attendees
In order to allow time for personalised feedback we recommend a maximum of 6-8 attendees.
Sample Masterclass Objectives
(Customised for your group)
After this 1 day programme your group will be able to:
- Identify and enhance their own natural style
- Plan their presentations using a 3 step process
- Look and sound more confident
- Create rapport with any audience
- Add impact with body language
- Improve vocal technique
- Use the 3 S's of presenting
- Effectively facilitate a questions and answers session
- Use simple structures to answer questions with credibility
How Do We Do It?
This programme is highly interactive, fast-moving and will have each person in the group on their feet, at least 4 times throughout the day. While there is an overall atmosphere of fun there is also a serious amount of learning taking place.
Very early in the day they will deliver a short presentation which is videoed. After they have presented they receive brief one to one feedback, in a separate room. During the feedback we look at what is working well, but we will also highlight what specifically is detracting from the impact. Throughout the day, each attendee is being coached on their specific issues, while they are on their feet and off camera.
Towards the end of the day, they each present a second time to video and again receive 1 to 1 feedback. All the attendees receive copies of their training videos so they can review again and reinforce the learning.
Two Day Presentation Skills Masterclass
During this 2 day masterclass we get your team on their feet 5 times presenting to video. We spend less time on theory and more time on learning by doing.
This masterclass is high energy, high impact, and moves at a fast pace. We spend the minimum time on theory and the maximum time getting them on their feet, both on and off camera.
Before attending the masterclass, we send out a short on-line questionnaire. We use this questionnaire so that the attendees can self-assess their current skills and identify their own specific needs. This means that even though this is a group course, the facilitator will focus on the needs of each trainee as an individual.
Who Would Benefit?
This highly participative and challenging programme is for those with some presenting experience who want to boost their presenting skills to a significantly higher level.
Number of Attendees
In order to strike the best balance between personal attention and supportive group dynamics we limit workshop attendees to 8.
Sample Masterclass Objectives
(Customised for your group)
After this 2 day programme your group will be able to:
- Identify and enhance their own natural style
- Plan their presentations using a 3 part process
- Increase self-confidence and minimise nerves
- Tell a compelling story
- Open and close with purpose
- Add credibility to their key message
- Use more convincing evidence
- Employ the 3 S's of presenting
- Build and hold rapport with an audience
- Advance their vocal technique
- Add impact with body language
- Present to persuade
- Understand PowerPoint best practice
- Use props for added effect
- Effectively facilitate a questions and answers session
- Use simple structures to answers questions with credibility
How Do We Do It?
This masterclass is challenging, participatory, and will have your team on their feet frequently over the 2 days – both on and off camera. While there is an overall atmosphere of fun there is also a serious amount of learning taking place. They will be videoed briefly, 5 times over the 2 days. Every time they deliver a presentation to camera, they have the opportunity to practice a different presentation structure which they can re-use in their future presentations.
They receive one to one feedback on their presentations, in a separate room. Each time they receive feedback we look at their strengths and identify what specifically is detracting or distracting.
They each have opportunities to be coached on their specific challenges when they are on their feet and off camera. By this consistent coaching approach we build on their skills and turn them into high impact presenters.

Case of successful prosthetics of aortic arch in a patient with congenital deformation of aortic arch in severe hypothermia and circulatory arrest
Heading: cardiac surgery Article type: Case report
Authors: Bokeria L.A., Bokeria O.L., Arakelyan V.S., Koasary A.K.
Organization: Bakulev Center of Cardiovascular Surgery
Atresia of the aortic arch is a rare congenital disease, often accompanied by congenital heart defects. Isolated atresia of the aorta is rare and usually has a complex deformation with multiple aneurysms, bending of the aorta and its branches. This anatomy complicates the exposure and makes surgery technically complicated with conventional approaches. The aim of the work is the presentation of a case of successful prosthetics of aortic arch and a 5-year observation of a patient with congenital deformation of the aortic arch in severe hypothermia and circulatory arrest. The article presents the variant of surgical tactics in treatment of patients with this form of atresia of aortic arch.

This month marks three years since I actively began practicing yoga. It all started when I went to a free yoga seminar at Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2011. At the time I was living in Fort Wayne, Indiana and one of my friends mentioned the seminar as something that might be fun to check out. If recollection serves correct I believe I took three or four yoga classes that day as I began my yoga journey.
I left feeling totally relaxed and inspired. Why hadn't I already been doing this? Well I had, sort of. I purchased a yoga pass in college and practiced periodically at the student recreation center. I also owned a few yoga DVDs. But I hadn't fully committed and until that day-long seminar the only style of yoga I had practiced was hatha. Today I am more committed to my practice, but I still feel like I have a ways to go.
Yoga Journey

I have tried establishing an at home practice but to no avail – so far. I also do not practice daily. But I do practice regularly, usually attending one to two classes a week. And whenever I am need of a stretch (especially when working at a desk all day) I can now easily break out some yoga poses. I have tried many types of yoga now, including:
Bikram Yoga
Restorative Yoga
Yin Yoga
Hatha Yoga
Power / Vinyasa Yoga (still my favorite!)
Yoga Nidra (Gina offers a great class!)
Becoming a Yogi
Am I missing any? I know I have not tried ashtanga yoga yet. Yoga practice is not a spiritual experience for me, although I know many consider it that. For me it's really a physical practice – the more intense classes for a heart-pumping workout, the more relaxed classes to calm my mind and remove stress from my life. No matter the type of practice, I find myself coming back again and again.
I'm really thankful I've been able to enjoy yoga and hope to continue practicing for a very long time. I'm always amazed by the many ages of the yogis in my classes. I hope to be that old lady doing handstands someday. Now if I could only do a handstand at my younger age!

Esthetician Degrees
Salaries For Degrees in Esthetician
Those who majored in Esthetician can work in a variety of jobs. It is impossible to say what you personally will do with a degree in Esthetician, our survey panel picked the following jobs as likely options:
Students with a degree in Esthetician are considered well prepared for
becoming Skin care specialists.
The median salary for people with a degree in Esthetician is $28,124.12. The lifetime value of this degree is approximately $501,857.00.
Salaries are highly dependent on individual negotiating skill, experience, your employer, location, and more. The estimates we show on these pages are just that: estimates. Your individual experience will likely vary.
Where does this come from?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, a unit of the US government, classifies all workers into some 800-odd occupational categories. We paid a team of freelancers to solicit their opinion on what type of degree a holder of each type of job would likely have majored in. For pairs which had a high degree of consensus, we created a link between the degree and the job.
From this, we calculated the average salary for Esthetician degrees and converted it into a lifetime value. We then compared it against other degrees at the same level of schooling (such as online bachelors esthetician degrees or online masters esthetician degrees), so that you can make informed educational and employment decisions.
What Students Expect to Learn From Online Associate Esthetician Degrees?
An esthetician is a professional that specializes in improving and maintaining the health of the skin with the use of products and treatments. Estheticians are also trained in the art of makeup application are able to work in salons and spas that offer these services. However, before an esthetician is eligible to be hired, he or she must first complete a training program and obtain the correct license in order to begin their career.
Courses of Study During Esthetician Training:
The skin is the body's largest organ, which is why it is so important for estheticians to receive proper training before beginning to practice within their field. Depending on the state in which a student resides, he or she will be required to complete anywhere from 250 to 1,500 hours of training before becoming eligible to take the state boards.
During their training, estheticians are required to study a variety of subjects. They must understand the anatomy and physiology of the human body, including proper system functioning and how to support great overall health. Students must also understand how to identify and treat a number of conditions and diseases, especially those affecting the skin. Additionally, an esthetician must be able to identify conditions that they will not be equipped to treat and how to refer these clients to a physician, who will be able to treat them more effectively.
Estheticians will be trained in a number of facial and body treatments, massage techniques, and waxing services. They will learn how to correctly sanitize their tools and maintain a safe work environment. Students will also be taught how to properly analyze and understand each client's skin type, as to correctly choose products and treatment methods that will most effectively improve the health of their skin.
Students will also learn the art of makeup application. They will learn how to correctly apply makeup according to each client's skin type, coloring, age, and facial shape. Because of their knowledge in skin care, estheticians are highly qualified to give advice on cosmetics and help clients choose cosmetics that will improve, instead of damage their skin. Students will be expected to have a good understanding of concepts and have mastered treatment techniques upon completion of a reputable training program.
Licensing and Job Outlook:
Upon completing an accredited training program, estheticians will then be qualified to take their state licensing exam. These exams vary from state to state, but generally include a written and practical section. The written section will ensure that students understand state laws, general skin care concepts, and are knowledgeable in a variety of topics that were covered in their training.
The practical exam will ensure that students understand proper sanitation and have mastered the necessary treatment, makeup, and waxing techniques. After a student has passed this exam, he or she will then become a licensed esthetician and will be eligible for employment. However, it should also be noted that estheticians will also be required to maintain and renew their license throughout their career.
Licensed estheticians secure jobs in salons, spas, and health clinics. Currently, they earn around $33,000 a year, but do have the opportunity to earn more as they build their client base and gain experience. Also, in certain states, like Utah and Virginia, students have the option of continuing their schooling and earning their masters in esthetics, which will also increase their earning potential. Many estheticians also supplement their salary with freelance makeup application jobs or by becoming a sales representative of a chosen cosmetic or skin care brand.
Online Schools Offering Accredited Esthetician Degree Programs
Because esthetician training is very hands-on, there are not a lot of schools that offer esthetician degrees online. However, many schools do offer hybrid programs, which allow students to complete some courses online, while completing others on location. While this may not be as convenient as a program that is done completely at home, it does offer more flexibility that traditional schooling.
One example of a school that offers an online esthetics program is Stratford Career Institute. This college is one of the only schools that offer a degree in esthetics that can be earned completely online. Students will be able to study at their own pace, while being guided in an easy-to-follow manner. For students with children or a full time job, this college will offer the convenience that they need.
Top Colleges & Universities Offering Campus-based Esthetician Degrees
Before choosing a school, students need to determine in which state they plan to live after graduation. This is because each state requires that a student become licensed in their specific state and abide by their licensing policies. Therefore, a student that received 300 hours of training in Delaware, will not be qualified to take the state board in Georgia, as they require 1,000 hours of training. Fortunately, there are a variety of respected public and private esthetician schools across the United States, including:
- The Skin Science Institute: This Institute has two Utah locations, one in Salt Lake City the other in Lindon. Students may choose from a 600 hour basic degree or 1,200 masters program. Students also have the option of attending part-time, full-time, or even completing night classes.
- Aveda Institues: The Aveda Institutes currently offer esthetician training programs in 22 states, as well as British Columbia and Australia. These schools are both highly respected and offer cutting edge training to their students. The specific programs vary by state, but students can be sure that they will be receiving some of the best training available.
- Marinello Spa Academy: There are currently 43 Marinello Spa Academies located in Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Oregon. These schools were first opened in 1905 and have over 100 years of experience in teaching students the conceptual and practical aspects of esthetics.
- Empire Beauty Schools: These schools are located in 22 states across the United States and have been in business for over 75 years. The Empire Beauty Schools are dedicated to helping students receive the best training possible and secure a rewarding career upon completing their program.
Leading Estheticians Today:
One of the world's most famous estheticians is a woman by the name of Erica Miller. Erica Miller completed her training in 1972, at the Christine Shaw School of Beauty (pictured right), located in London. She then went on to work in Tokyo, Japan, which was one of the first countries to respect esthetics as a true profession. She soon became one of the most respected estheticians in her field and was invited to speak at a variety of events and conferences, including the 29th Comite' International d'Esthetique et de Cosmetologie, held in Greece.
Erica Miller is one of the main women responsible for bringing the world of esthetics to the United States and has written various textbooks, guides, and articles discussing important skin care techniques and issues. Ms. Miller currently lectures at national and international beauty related shows, including conventions hosted by the National Cosmetology Association, and will be forever regarded as a pioneer in the art of esthetics.

Personal marketing makes you money
Wednesday, January 24, 2018
How much you earn in 2018 may have less to do with your industry expertise than your marketing skill.
Many of the most financially successful business professionals are less knowledgeable about their industry than competitors who earn considerably less. They're just better marketers.
Many of these higher income individuals have worked fewer years than their competitors. Many haven't won awards, some don't have degrees in their industry, and a good many don't even work in major markets. Fact is, they may be better at marketing than they are at their trade.
That's because they work on as well as at their business, developing and polishing their promotion skills in the process. They learn to excel at marketing themselves, in addition to their products and services. And, unlike the others, they "get" it. They understand that it doesn't matter how good they are if the right people don't know.
Why is it that some highly-gifted, multi-skilled business professionals still struggle financially? It's because they struggle with the idea of marketing. They neglect to, or choose not to promote themselves.
Show me a talented entrepreneur who doesn't market himself, and I'll show you 10 others with half his talent earning twice his income. The reason? They promote themselves. He doesn't.
Want to boost your income? Then, boost your marketing. Begin the process by developing a database of those you need to connect with in your industry. Set a goal of contacting 10 of these individuals a day. Block out a minimum of an hour a day for this and other marketing activities.
Establish your expertise in your field, and communicate your credibility through videos, blog posts, articles and social media commentary. Use these platforms to address challenges, changes and trends within your industry. Include information wherever and whenever possible about your industry experience and accomplishments.
Expand one of your posts or articles into a short report with a catchy name (something like: "How to Sell Twice the Real Estate in Half the Time.") Grow your database by offering the report online at no cost to those who provide you with their contact information. Share your report with industry bloggers and the trade media, and offer to help out them out the next time they're looking for an industry expert to consult or quote.
Target organizations whose members you seek to influence, and offer to speak on these same topics. Meeting planners for industry associations and other groups are always on the lookout for speakers to present seminars, classes and other educational programs.
Beware of the "paralysis of analysis" that prevents some business professionals from moving ahead with their marketing. Don't wait until you've come up with the perfect marketing plan. There is no such thing.
Promoting yourself — now — in small, simple ways is preferable than not promoting yourself at all. Try adding a marketing message to your voicemail, or to your email signature.
Whether you own your own business or work for someone else's business, think of yourself in the marketing business. Consider yourself the marketing director of your own personal corporation.
Polish your promotion skills. Your income in 2018 and beyond will depend on those skills.
