Today’s business world is a fast paced global community. And, despite the ever-important need of technical acumen, the need for “softskills”has become even more apparent. Research conducted by Harvard University, The Carnegie Foundation and The Stanford Research Institute show that, in the hiring process, 85% of people hired are chosen because of their “soft skills”knowledge.

April Ripley, President and CEO of The Premiere Image, Inc., brings a wealth of expertise in the “soft” skills essential to those who desire to excel in the personal, social and business arenas. Ms. Ripley has learned that the greatest resource in life, and in any organization, is people. “People are the most costly and labor intensive investment within an organization. Their potential to add value to the organization is predicated on their successful integration of ‘soft’ and technical skills,” says Ms. Ripley. “These ‘soft’ skills are equally important in the individual’s other interactions with family, friends and/or relationships. People are the bottom line.”

The Premiere Image, Inc. provides the knowledge and training necessary for professionals, corporations, and others to develop, enhance and master personal, professional and social situations with confidence. We furnish the opportunity to enhance personal fulfillment, social confidence, positive self-perception, leadership development, productivity and profitability by fostering an exceptional personal and corporate image.

April Ripley is a Certified Corporate Etiquette and International Protocol Consultant with The Protocol School of Washington. She is a member of The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, The Fayette County Chamber of Commerce, and The American Society of Training and Development.
