IMAGE CONSULTING

Do you want to . . .

Did you know that when meeting someone for the first time, that person has already decided within the first three seconds whether they like us or not?

It's said that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. When viewing a rack of paperbacks, how do we decide which book to pick up and consider? We do it by the cover!

Our visual impact on others determines how well we are treated. This fact has been researched and documented by numerous well-known image consultants. By looking and acting successful, worthy and deserving, we will attract more money and abundance into our lives.

For example, according to those in the know, airline personnel choose which coach passengers to upgrade to business or first class by how well they are dressed! Headwaiters and table servers have a trained eye for spotting class . . . and their service reflects it. 

Appropriate dressing for a job interview alone might not get you that job that you want . . . but it sure can go a long way toward your being considered. In addition, you can be sure of being instantly disqualified by the interviewer if your appearance is inappropriate for the level of position you are seeking.

The following list of books will give you valuable resources for quickly building your fashion savvy where it counts the most.

In addition, please feel free to contact me for more information on personal growth and prosperity coaching and holistic counseling on how you too can look and feel like a million dollars! :o)
