Why Be an Image Consultant

What Is Image Consultancy & What Does An Image Consultant Do?

"Image" is derived from the Latin word, "Imago". It is defined as a dent or an impression made upon a particular surface. In human terms, this means to make an impression on a person's perception of themselves or of another based on the playing of physical, motor and emotional senses that ultimately leads them to have a mental picture of themselves or of another person. This impression or picture can be either positive or negative.

 

Image Consultants work with a person or entity's appearance, their behaviour and communication to empower them with the skills needed to

create a positive impression of themselves first by instilling self-confidence and self assurance which then transmits itself to others that they come into contact and interact with be it in a personal or professional capacity. 

 

Getting up in the morning and getting paid to help others look good and feel better about themselves, giving them a road to self esteem is a rewarding career.
