You can relax when you meet Joanna Parris.
She’s a certified expert in Image, Etiquette and Lifestyle Management. Joanna has the skills to handle any situation and wants to share the empowering knowledge of those skills with you.

Since 1995, her award-winning work has transformed people from all walks of life, nationally and internationally. She has worked with the Centre for International Private Enterprise in Washington DC conducting workshops in Women’s Leadership Development in Botswana, Africa; taught Modeling & Personal Improvement at The Barbizon School in New York; and given seminars to organizations all across Ontario, the Caribbean and several US states. She holds workshops and coaches one-on-one through BOSS, the learning centre she founded in Toronto, Canada in 2003.

Joanna is keenly motivated to help men, women and young people to rise to the next level by giving them the tools of interpersonal skills and techniques, the knowledge of protocol and personal image management.

You'll understand why when you hear her own story: From awkward beginnings as a shy schoolteacher, she took a leap into fashion modeling. International assignments gave her the opportunity to observe highly successful people and codify their behavior into distinct skill tools. Using these powerful tools enabled her to evolve to corporate managerial status with prestigious organizations such as The McGill Club and Women’s Business Owners of Canada; and to rise up the success ladder -- sitting on governing boards and chairing civic events like Caribana and the Harry Jerome Awards. Now, she teaches these empowering tools with enthusiasm, wit and awareness.

Joanna is a motivational speaker, trainer/mentor, workshop leader and personal consultant. Her extensive charitable work has included her own foundation. She is past president of AICA Toronto (Association of Image Consultants International) and writes articles and books on image enhancement and personal development.
