20.01.2022 Luck is when opportunity meets preparation | We thrive on providing opportunities for our Pre-Professional students to continually learn and grow; not only as... performers but as confident and determined professionals striving to reach the top in this competitive industry. We are forever grateful to have @mradamwilliams present a special day workshop for us today: Dress Up, Turn Up, Step Up - The Power of First Impressions. As a hugely successful MC, TV Presenter, Performer and Model, in Australia and overseas including 9 seasons as co-host and mentor of Asia’s Next Top Model, Adam’s passion is to motivate and empower, passing on his knowledge and experience of succeeding in this sometimes cut-throat business. PLUS Adam snuck in a little cat walk session - it’s not every day our student’s experience a cat walk session with a sought after model for leading fashion labels such as Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton and Christian Louboutin! . . . #launchpac #firstimpressions #catwalk #weseeyou #opportunitymeetspreparation
