“I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?” – Jean Kerr
If you haven’t yet hired a professional image consultant, now is definitely the time. Men, this goes for you too and can make the difference between getting promoted or not. If you don’t look the part for the job you want, you probably won’t get it.
One of the best things I’ve ever done was hire an image consultant. I interviewed three of the most highly recommended image consultants in New York City and then picked my favorite, who not only dressed beautifully, but also had a beautifully decorated apartment. I liked her style and her taste so I knew she’d be perfect for me (Carolyn Gustafson is her name, but she is has since moved to Charlotte, NC). Thanks to having a professional, I’ve saved a small fortune in clothes over the years. I can see, before even setting foot in a shop, if the colors are right or not. When your colors are right, you don’t have to worry about matching outfits as everything tends to work together well. You also need fewer clothes if everything you own fits perfectly.
If you’ve already worked with an image consultant, congratulations! Now take a look at other ways you can improve your image. One of my clients had his teeth cosmetically improved with veneers so that he now has an amazing smile. Another client hired a personal trainer to come to her office at lunch so she could squeeze in a work out and look better in her wardrobe by toning and firming. Another client had laser hair removal so she never had to shave her legs again. What is one thing you would like to do to enhance your appearance?
