2. ―First impression is the last impression‖ is an age old
saying. Research proves that within seconds, people make
observations and assumptions based on limited visual
information and these first impressions can become one‘s
identity.
Image is all that an individual projects consciously or
unconsciously—the way one looks, cares for, and carries
oneself, personal style, poise, and presence.
It is part of who one is on the inside, and is a reflection of
one‘s personality, values, attitudes, interests, abilities,
uniqueness, roles, and often goals. One‘s image leads to
perception which results in an impression in the minds of
others.
3. The process of managing one‘s Image is Image Management
Image Management is an ongoing, pro-active process of
evaluating and controlling the impact of one‘s appearance on self,
on others, and the achievement of one‘s goals.
Image management is creating an authentic, appropriate,
attractive, and affordable personal and professional image which
increases your confidence, credibility, capability, and productivity
while contributing to continuing success.
6. An Image Consultant is a professional who
works with clients as a counselor or coach to
evaluate, improve, enhance, update and
upgrade their self-presentation — the way in
which they present themselves in personal,
social and professional situations.
The consultant specializes in counseling
individuals and corporate clients on the 4
elements – clothing, grooming, body language
and etiquette and vocal communication.
The consultant also works with organizations
to project a strong first impression and brand
identity.
