Dress for Success

Whether youve landed your first
office job or youre just at a point in
your career where you want to
rethink the impressions you make on
coworkers, dressing for success is not
a clich. Its a necessity.
What you wear to work matters a lot
when it comes to displaying a public
image.
From business attire to casual wear,
its important to look your best when
you go to work. After all, its a major reflection of your character and what you represent as an
employee.
Getting dressed for the office doesnt have to be hard work. You dont have to leave your personal
style behind just to look professional in front of your boss. Your goal is to project a professional and
confident image of yourself, regardless of your career level.

Lead Facilitator

Karen Espiritu
Lead Facilitator
Her love for Sales, Fashion and Training has brought her through extensive and diverse
experiences here and around the world. After earning a degree in Economics during her
University years, she immediately jumped into the band wagon of the corporate world not as
an Economist, but in various sales jobs ranging from the travel industry to publishing. These
experiences enriched her in more ways than one. However, the go-getter that she is did not
stop her from pursuing her desire to learn more. Last 2001, she left for New York and studied
Fashion Merchandising Management at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology wherein
she graduated Summa Cum Laude. Applying everything she learned in Sales and Fashion, she
once again excelled with Awards and Recognitions as she worked her way up the corporate
ladder in the streets of New York.
Her love for the Philippines and her countrymen was always embedded in her heart. As she has
seen the fulfillment of her dreams right before her eyes, she too has envisioned that one day,
she will be able to EMPOWER PEOPLE TO FULFILL THEIR DREAMS. These same experiences and
passion was what brought her back to the Philippines last 2007.
She initially started conducting workshops for students in various colleges around the Philippines
which paved the way for various speaking engagements. She also had the chance to work
with John Robert Powers as their curriculum director and taught various Marketing courses at
the famous International Fashion School -La Salle College International. She became the Sales
Director for Eastwear Manufacturing Inc. in which they exported knitwear for high end Fashion
Brands to various countries in Europe and the USA.
She believes that you should live a balanced life of both work and play. So during her free time,
she makes it a point to go out of town and muster her skills in Wakeboarding and Diving. She
also was a three time participant at the New York Central Park races and was the Marketing
Head for Purelife Womens conferences. She has traveled the world with 14 countries to her list
and counting. All these accomplishments have not been possible if it werent for her parents
that have always been a great support to her and the people she has met along the way that
have molded her to be the person she is today. Most importantly she gives all the credit to the
Almighty Father who has unconditionally loved her for who she is and who continually guides
and holds her hand.

EXEQSERVE & WORKPLACE LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE (WLP)

As we move forward to the new era, training & development is now evolving into what we call WLP or
Workplace Learning and Performance which is defined as the integrated use of learning and other
interventions for the purpose of improving individual and organizational performance. (Rothwell,
Sanders and Soper 1999) This means that the field goes beyond the traditionally singular focus on
individual knowledge, skill and attitudes (KSA) acquisition.
Why WLP? If you think about it, organizations invest time and resources for training and development in
the assumption that it will directly translate to improved business results. However, that is not always the
case. Trainers also realized that classroom training alone will not change behavior if the work
environment is not supportive of desired behaviors. WLP offers a holistic approach to training wherein,
they align the intervention to organizational goals.
The ultimate tests of success for the learning intervention are improved performance back in the
workplace and measurable business outcomes.
