A MESSAGE FROM MICHELLE T. STERLING, MEN'S FITNESS MAGAZINE STYLE EXPERT | CERTIFIED IMAGE CONSULTANT | PERSONAL SHOPPER | PERSONAL STYLIST, GLOBAL IMAGE GROUP
An image consultant can help you increase your self-confidence and self-esteem in your appearance and personal presentation skills. An image consultant's goal is to have you dress and present yourself consistently better by using clothing and behavior as communication tools to meet your needs and get the results you desire. An image consultant’s services will help you to think, feel and act more confident and consequently enable you to be more attractive to others. The end result is to leave a positive impact - appearing authentic, appropriate, appealing and polished to those you interact with.Impact begins by helping you discover your innate attractiveness and attributes beyond the ideals and standards of perfection. Being attractive goes beyond the surface and includes qualities such as confidence, strength, humility, attitude, intelligence, health and individual style. Long-term attractiveness begins with a self-awareness that goes beyond self-consciousness to self-acceptance. By learning to cherish how others see you on the outside, you will create opportunities for others to see your true attractiveness on the inside.
The value in discovering and articulating your true self is priceless. By allowing me to help you express yourself to be a unique and special individual, you will be giving yourself the opportunity to strengthen your interpersonal relationships, feel confident about your complete self-image and enhance your personal and professional life.
You have my word on that…
The first ever image research study from Central Michigan University, commissioned by the Association of Image Consultants International, shows image consulting services give people more than just a "superficial boost." The image services also raise peoples’ self-esteem.
The purpose of the in-depth international study was to measure the effectiveness of the work of image consultants and the gain experienced by clients from having participated in consultations. A total of 85 clients, representing 18 image consultants in 10 countries, participated in the study.
The research study design was comprised of four components. Volunteer image consultants administered a pre and post survey to measure their clients’ needs before and after the services. The survey approach allowed for collection of data relating to clients’ previous learning about image and personal style, their goal achievement, the perceived value of the consultation, their satisfaction with the consultation, 42 measures of their needs in the areas of appearance, self- image, personal and professional development, and relevant demographic information.
In addition, self-esteem measures were obtained using the Hartman Self Esteem Index®. Sixty-three percent experienced gains in their self-esteem scores, sometimes by an appreciable amount. Other components evaluated in the Index that showed appreciable changes were self-assessment, self-improvement, self-management and internal self-esteem.
In every single case, clients were extremely satisfied with their consultation experience, giving extremely high ratings to their image consultants in all areas queried. In addition, their perception of the value of the sessions to them, personally, was extremely high.
The information gathered from this study will be valuable on many counts. It will validate the work of image consultants as being important not only on a superficial level but also that it has a positive influence on a client’s ability to realize and appreciate his or her own self-worth.
The results of the study also demonstrate that image services have a significant impact on personal and professional development skills which relate to the areas people deem most important in life: self-confidence, career, promotion and performance and interpersonal relationships. It is now evident that the work of image consultants influences both the "inside", as well as the "outside" human element. As the industry grows in the future this will undoubtedly become the characteristic that most differentiates image consultants.
The study will help the general public realize that image consultants do not have to perform extreme makeovers or work with their clients for years to impact their self-confidence. The average number of sessions in this sample was 2.18 ranging from 1 to 12 hours maximum. They make a big difference in a small amount of time!
