Image Consulting vs. Image Curation: Unveiling Your True Potential

When preparing to level up your professional image, it's important to understand what you need to feel supported in showing up authentically. Image consulting and image curation may appear to be interchangeable, but they serve distinct purposes in shaping how you present yourself to the world. Understanding the differences between these two can help you make informed decisions about which experience aligns best with your needs.

Image Consulting: Crafting Your Personal Brand

What is Image Consulting?

Image consulting focuses on enhancing an individual’s overall appearance, behavior, and communication skills to align with their personal and professional goals. It’s a comprehensive approach that often includes color analysis, wardrobe analysis, makeup lessons, and communication coaching.

Key Elements of Image Consulting:

• Color Analysis: Determines the tones that best complement your skin, hair, and eyes.
• Wardrobe Analysis: Assesses your preferences for a new signature wardrobe by categorizing clothing in terms of complementary colors, flattering silhouettes and optimized fit.
• Makeup Lessons: Teaches the proper techniques and tones that support a naturally radiant and confidence-boosting signature look.
• Communication Coaching: Provides guidance on how to navigate discourse with intention, tact and assertive communication.

Benefits of Image Consulting:

• Boosts self-confidence and self-esteem.
• Enhances professional and social interactions.
• Helps in achieving personal and professional goals.
• Creates a cohesive and polished personal brand.

Image Curation: Telling Your Unique Story

What is Image Curation?

Image curation is the art of selecting and organizing visual elements that represent your personal style and identity. It goes beyond makeup, fashion and grooming to encompass a broader spectrum of visual storytelling, including expressing your intended balance of masculine and feminine energy.

Key Elements of Image Curation:

• Identity Discovery: Dismantles false expressions and redesigns your image in alignment with what is most true to you.‍
• Energy Discovery: Supports the discovery, acceptance and expression of your four dominant modes.‍
• Personal Style Development: Crafts a unique style that reflects your purpose, energy and desired intent for connections.‍
• Visual Storytelling: Creates a consistent and compelling narrative through your clothing, accessories, and overall appearance.
• Relational Awareness: Determines the kind of relationships and boundaries you need to support and protect your authentic expression.

Benefits of Image Curation:

• Builds a strong and authentic personal brand that creates impact.
• Enhances your confidence to present authentically online and offline.
• Provides opportunity for you to clarify and honor your needs.
• Reflects your unique identity and values.

Choosing the Right Path for You

Whether you choose image consulting or image curation depends on your specific needs and goals. If you’re looking to enhance your overall appearance and create a polished image, image consulting may be the right choice. On the other hand, if you’re focused on creating a unique and cohesive personal brand that embodies who you are, image curation may suit your needs best.
