Yes! Image Matters!


Why has image consulting become such a foundation of my business? Or a more difficult question: How can I effectively help people market themselves without having their image come into play? If people realized (or were flat-out told!) they had to be marketed in order to sell themselves not only to prospective employers, but to the world at large (much like products are), the "packaging" would soon evolve.

As I reflect on the importance of image, a pivotal moment comes to mind. I read an article detailing a study where a group of individuals were shown photographs of several people. They were asked to describe, among other things, what the person did for a living and how much they earned at their job.

In reality, the only difference between the people in the photographs was their eyewear. The same individuals but different pairs of glasses.
