Why Professional Image and Etiquette Matter in Leadership
For a financial institution like AGRO Bank, leadership is not just about expertise—it’s also about how leaders present themselves. To support this goal, AGRO Bank partnered with Training Cube International to deliver a high-impact Professional Image Enhancement Seminar at Lexus Hibiscus Port Dickson for over 300 Managers, Senior Managers, and Heads of Departments.
The 2-hour session focused on strengthening executive presence, grooming, business etiquette, and communication—core leadership skills that reinforce AGRO Bank’s PATRIOT values: Professionalism, Accountability, Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Openness, and Trust. Each topic was designed to help leaders lead with credibility, clarity, and confidence across all levels of the organisation.
What This Executive Image Seminar Covered
The seminar began with a focused exploration of professional grooming and personal branding for leaders, emphasizing how appearance, behaviour, and communication shape first impressions and influence workplace credibility. The session also highlighted the importance of colour coordination in building a strong and confident executive image.
The next segment centered on modern business etiquette and the unspoken rules of professional conduct. Participants were guided on how to present themselves confidently in both internal and external interactions, covering essentials like executive dining etiquette, networking strategies, and appropriate corporate dress codes. The final module introduced participants to the four key workplace communication styles, equipping them with effective strategies to adapt their communication, improve collaboration, and strengthen their overall leadership presence.
An Interactive, High-Impact Session
Despite the large audience of 300 AGRO Bank participants, the seminar was delivered in an engaging and high-energy format that encouraged reflection, awareness, and immediate action. Visual examples, role-playing, and real-life scenarios made the learning experience practical and relevant for professionals in senior roles.
