Have you got tired of the way you look and have often thought of a makeover? Have you thought of enhancing your professional career by brushing your etiquettes and your communication skills? Believe me, each one of us, at some point in our lives or career have often felt that maybe we should think of starting afresh like a complete personality makeover. A makeover definitely changes your personality and gives you a total new approach.
Power of an image consultant:
In case you are wondering what an image consultant can do, take a look:
Image consultants change the way people perceive us by changing our appearance according to our age, personality, tastes, comfort zones etc. It can also be the way we talk or our mannerisms or the way we dress and so on. A lot depends on the way we speak and conduct ourselves in the professional world, as our capability, abilities, career growth are all dependent on these factors and gets affected. For e.g. when you enter a conference room, a well groomed personality will generate a lot of interest among the listeners or when you are going for an interview, in spite of having a powerful resume, half the battle is won if you have a pleasing personality.
Become an image consultant in the following fields:-
Makeover consultants - they give you feedbacks/suggestions on how you can project your image differently and in a better way, in many cases instill confidence.
Wardrobe consultants - they give you advice on what will suit your personality, age, colors and so on. In many cases, a consultant working for a high profile clientele or a company personally goes shopping and selects fabrics, accessories and organizes the wardrobe or decides on the uniform codes.
Makeup consultants - they provide feedback on what makeup will suit your skin, hair, color etc.
Verbal communication consultant - these consultants provide feedback on a personal level or organize seminars and workshops to give guidance about grammar, speech, intonation, diction etc.
Non-verbal communication consultant - similarly these consultants work on the body language of the person like posture, eye contact, handshake etc.
Etiquette consultant - they provide valuable guidance on dinning, social or business etiquette.
What about a personal stylist?
A stylist is different from an image consultant just the way luxury is different from necessity. An image consultant enhances the way you are by analyzing your lifestyle, figure and so on whereas a stylist gives you an entirely different look and may not portray the real you, in the public eye.
While the approach of an image consultant is a long term one, the approach adopted by a stylist may just be limited to a ramp show, photo shoot etc.
For an image consultant:
One really does not need to have a formal degree in fashion but you need to have excellent interpersonal skills. Fashion degree is an added bonus. Then you have to decide in which area, you would like to specialize and work your way towards it. While to become a personal stylist, a formal degree in fashion is a must.
