What is Image Consulting?

Image Consulting is a service industry, a field of work wherein Image Consultants help clients to improve their appearance for personal or professional reasons.

Image Consulting is a professional field wherein clients hire an Image Consultant to evaluate, improve, enhance, update, or upgrade their appearance to ensure that their Image is consistent or congruent with their personal, social, and/or professional roles and goals—with what they want to accomplish in life.

Image Consulting is an art form. The Image Consultant is the artist. The canvas is the individual client. Our medium is clothing, grooming, and body language—an art form the client gets to wear time and time again.

Image Consulting is the active process of learning about the individual or group client, then passing Image information to the client, then applying that information to the client to achieve a positive visible change or transformation.

Image Consulting is the process of helping clients exercise greater control over the impressions they create and the perceptions they influence through the elements of Image—clothing, grooming, and body language, including etiquette.

Image Consulting is the process of empowering clients to reflect or project the confidence and competence that comes from an authentic, appropriate, and attractive appearance for any personal, social, or professional situation.

Image Consulting is a process entered into for the purpose of enabling clients to get out of a rut, get more confident, get more respect, get a date, get a job, get a promotion, get a child to listen, get a spouse to pay more attention, get off the couch, get out and get involved in the community—to get a life!

Image Consulting is the process of creating a positive visual Image. It can sometimes be a matter of appearance to impress, but more often is a matter of appearance to influence. Rather than appearance for success, it is about appearance for excellence and success will follow.

Full-service Image Consulting or Image Management Consulting includes individual counseling or coaching and group lecture, seminar, or workshop presentations—with content that ranges from makeup consultation and application to wardrobe evaluation and personal shopping: from self-branding and business etiquette to social networking and public speaking.

Image Consulting continues to be on the rise, while many industries are floundering due to economic recession. As more people learn about Image experts, they are seeking their services. More men are becoming interested in Image services, “creating more opportunities for those entering the Image Consulting field.”

Image Management Consulting is a fascinating profession wherein the Image Consultant can truly make a positive difference in people’s lives and in society as a whole. When clients look better, they feel better, they act better, and then others react better to them—life gets better! The world becomes a better place—it works!
