Image and Communication

My background actually started in Corporate Communications - which might seem like a strange combination, but totally relates if you think about it. Image is the ultimate communication. My purpose is to help people project their best self, giving executives, job hunters, even those searching for a soulmate a competitive advantage to get their message across clearly in all five facets:  visual, verbal, kinesthetic, sociability and positioning.  My love of fashion and beauty is just one more dimension - but it all comes down to confidence and feeling good about yourself.

Another common theme is change.  In my corporate world, I help leaders communicate change to audiences - employees, shareholders, etc.  The goal is to help people move forward through uncertainty so that they are more productive and happier.  


My understanding of change and behavior is also hugely important in my image consulting. This is a big change for many people - which is why so many makeovers don't last!  If you don't pay attention to how much a person can change and push them too far, too fast, it won't work.  So, change is scary but necessary.  Managing change for my clients is a big part of my job and I take it seriously.  I want them to feel challenged, but comfortable - and for the change to occur, they have to trust me and know that I want the best for them.  I look past the fear, lack of confidence, or indecision about their image to see who they can be and I love helping bring that best self forward to shine!

Anyway, here's my 'corporate' resume that gives you a bigger picture of who I am and how I got here! ...
