Clover Henry-Gilroy
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Perception is Everything, Inc. was founded by Chief Executive Officer, Clover Henry-Gilroy, based upon her experience denying employment to skilled candidates who applied for an open position and/or appeared for an interview uninformed, unprepared and devoid of presentation. They were not aware of the social and professional requirements of the job search in today's very competitive market . Our goal is to guide low-income job seekers in obtaining the skills and information necessary for a successful job search. This is accomplished by engaging, empathising and gently correcting habits and speech patterns through an array of seminar worshops covering topics that are critical in seeking employment. These workshops are listed on our "Seminars" sub-page.

Working with Daniel Gilroy, Clover has been able to fulfill her dream by offering free seminar workshops and instructing candidates in areas where they lack information, preparation, articulation and presentation.
