Image consulting helps you carve out your image the way you want people to see you. You are in control of yourself and you make others see, believe and act according to you. You make things predictable and in your favor. As children, we all desired to have a magic wand which would get us what we wanted. The fact is that we already have it since birth and it’s our own image.
Image consulting improves your performance in personal and professional front. Let me explain how only an image consultant can help you project a winning image in all aspects.
1) Identifying your roles & goals: An image consultant takes you through a process of lifestyle evaluation, identifying your roles and goals and then suggesting levels of dressing in different situations to create a communication necessary in terms of authority, stability, trustworthiness, and approachability.
2) Identifying your wow colors & dressing you as per your body shape : There are eight different body shapes and many variations within them. Most people are not aware of this. An image consultant is equipped to identify your body shape and suggest ways and means to counter negative variations and enhance positive ones to create an attractive image. So, if you have been categorized as too short, too fat, too tall a body type, don’t worry because with appropriate image management you can still have a stunning personality. You are given an array of colors suiting your skin tone which would act as a reckoner for you while shop new clothes and accessories. Your very personal image-report help you save time, energy and money.
3) Incorporating a personal style in your dressing: Very often people find themselves uncomfortable while dressing as per the advice of other related professionals. This happens because their personal style is not incorporated in the clothing solution. Every individual has a personal style which they are not aware of consciously. An image consultant has the knowledge and the tools to identify the personal style of an individual and therefore a clothing solution which incorporates your own style creates an authentic image.
4)Wardrobe analysis and smart shopping: When it comes to clothing, affordability is a big issue and people often buy on impulse and then regret their purchases. Also, many people suffer from the syndrome of buying lots of clothes and yet complaining about not having anything to wear for an important occasion or meeting. An image consultant guides a client on how to build their wardrobe to create variety in an affordable manner. After evaluating the client’s wardrobe and creating capsule plan sheets keeping in mind roles, goals, body shape and personal style, an image consultant may also accompany you to buy clothes and act as your personal shopper.
5) Appropriate body language and etiquette: Body language is one of the biggest factors in visual communication and an image consultant advises you on appropriate body language based on roles and occasions. Etiquette is a big part of creating an image. Correct etiquette in business and social situations goes a long way to create a powerful image. An image consultant takes you through appropriate etiquette, be it dining, corporate meetings or any other.
