WHAT CAN AN IMAGE CONSULTANT DO FOR ME?

An image consultant can make the difference in giving successful people that competitive edge. They are trained to evaluate your personal presentation and help you feel stylish and self confident using a variety of image consulting techniques.

Consider an image consultant as your partner in success — guiding you to present a uniquely personal and completely professional appearance, improve your business communications, and act appropriately with confidence in any situation.

BUILD CONFIDENCE AND CREDIBILITY

Image Consultants are specialists in visual appearance, verbal and nonverbal communications. Image Consultants act as personal stylists, wardrobe consultants and personal brand managers all rolled into one!

Working with individual clients, image consultants assist them in attaining authenticity, self-confidence and credibility. Business clients are taught to express their company’s goals by aligning appearance, behavior and communications, which can include etiquette and international protocol.

COACHING YOU TO BE YOUR BEST

As an independent professional, an image consultant guides you to present yourself to your best advantage and achieve your highest potential.

Whether you’re an individual or a corporation, an image consultant can teach you how to polish your professional image in three areas:

• Your physical appearance – Grooming, hair, make-up, color, wardrobe and personal shopping.
• Your behavior – Relationship-building, etiquette and protocol.
• Your communication skills – Body language, business correspondence, including email etiquette and telephone skills.

An image consultant utilizes the learning environment that you find most comfortable and convenient, whether it’s personal consultation in your office or home, a coaching session over the phone, a presentation to your executive team, a seminar for your employees or a workshop at your annual conference.
