Most of us have been at a stage in our lives where we froze because our mistakes came back to us with shocking clarity: a loud, nostalgic and haunting sound of our image of ourselves. This happens at the oddest of times: public speaking, interviews or just during a casual conversation with somebody you want to impress. We’ve all wished for an enviable presence, hoping the spotlight would turn the minute we enter a room and shine a little brighter because of our irresistible charisma. We look for solace everywhere, hoping to replicate the appeal of somebody we admire. And that is exactly why you need an image consultant in your life.

In all transparency, my practice as an Image Consultant compels me to tell you that we do not offer fluffy quotes and lucky charms that will turn you into Will Smith overnight. No, working on yourself is a long, demanding and tedious process and I will guide you through this process. Image Consultants help you unlearn everything you assume will work for you so that you can find your unique inner light. This is a reservoir of unexplored potential that will help you shine at optimal capacity. Together, we will groom your personality so that you will find out what it actually means to “be yourself”. Because let’s face it: we’ve heard it so many times in our lives that it has lost all meaning. However, it is overused because it is the one true way to live your best life.

Here are 8 reasons why you need an Image Consultant to live your ultimate truth:

1. Redefine Retail Therapy:

How many times have you ordered something online because you loved what it looked like on a 6 feet tall model who spends all her day in the gym? Fast forward to the time you look at the piece on your body and are horrified by how unflattering it looks? You end up hating your body for something that was solely an ignorant choice you made. Which brings me to my next point:

2. Understand (and love) your body: 

Impressions take seconds to form. However, the effect of that initial impression makes a huge impact on your long-term relationship with anybody. Whatever your relationship with your body is right now, an image consultant will help you better understand it and show you practices that will help you love and appreciate it. And love that begins on the inside shines through for the rest of the world to see!

3. Cultivate a wardrobe you love:

Instead of wearing the same pieces over and over because you’re not sure if you had been shopping on a sugar rush when you bought the rest, an Image Consultant will help you learn how you can make full use of your wardrobe in the most effective manner.

4. Make the best use of every piece you own:

Whatever your personal style is, right from ultra-bold to super-modest, an image consultant shows you how you can style a single piece in multiple ways so that you won’t have to wear the same outfit each time; even when it’s the same piece of clothing! Talk about resourcefulness.

5. Shine on you crazy diamond!

No, it’s not just a classic Pink Floyd song. As an Image Consultant, I aim to understand your essence and help you rediscover your true self: raw and unplugged. You will be taught how to accept who you are, annoying quirks and your many, many attributes and enjoy your originality thoroughly. Again, no fluffy quotes or lucky charms!

6. Communication is key!

Coming back to the beginning of this conversation, remember that one time you wanted to be a flawless conversationalist but you froze instead? There are tons of tips and tricks that can help you get over that fear and remain in the moment and helps you ace all of them so you will never be at a loss for words when the time comes!

7. Promote yourself:

Working on yourself pays off in a number of ways: right from monetary perks that are a direct result of your productivity (which in turn is a direct result of your confidence, thank you very much) to improved energy and performance levels. What can be better than waking up each morning in love of the company you’re most graced with: yourself!

8. Finding The Missing Piece with an Image Consultant:

Have you ever looked at somebody magnetic and wondered what their “it” factor was? What is that one thing that makes them so amiable? Everybody has something that sets them apart from the crowd. It’s just a matter of finding your voice and exercising it unapologetically.

For all these reasons and a lot more, Image Consultants can turn your life around and help you be the best version of yourself and live your best life.
