How were they dressed? What type of handshake or greeting did they give you after the introduction? Did they make eye contact with you? Did you feel comfortable with them?
Now imagine that the last person you met just answered those questions about you. Do you know what they would say?
Why is image important?
It is a simple fact that people judge each other on their appearance. Within a few seconds of meeting someone, we will have decided if they think they are likable, trustworthy, or sincere among other things. This initial outer image is formed in personal and professional situations by everyone we encounter. Often it is not completely conscious but rather is expressed as a general "feeling" for the person. People create a more developed image during further interactions only if they are convinced to interact with the person again. They will have to have been left with a positive impression in order to do so. Being aware of what image we are projecting is of great advantage to everyone as it allows us to take more control of how people perceive us. Each of us also has a inner image, the way that we see ourselves. Often our inner image may not match with how other people see us.
What is Image Consulting?
Image Professionals help individuals project the image that they desire in order to meet their personal and professional goals. Image Consultants work with clients to develop a positive, targeted image through changes in appearance, communication skills, etiquette, grooming, and skincare. The goal of Image Consulting is not to follow a formula to make clients look the same, but rather it is to help them build their own individual style which suits their lifestyle and passions. Image Consulting also helps people build confidence as they incorporate the valuable lessons learned in their Image Consulting sessions.
Who hires an Image Consultant?
Anyone who is looking for a change in their lives might seek the counsel of an Image Consultant. Some reasons might be looking for a job or a promotion, seeking a new love interest, or a relocation. Others take advantage of the time saving services Image Consultants offer such as personal shopping and closet organization. Hollywood personalities have been using the services of personal stylists for many years. Today, it is possible for anyone to have access to these services and benefit from the knowledge of an Image Professional.
