Be An Image Consultant To Individuals Or Groups

International Image Consultant Certification from The ImageMaker, Inc.:

What will this mean for you?  International Image Consultant Certification from The ImageMaker, Inc. will let you take full advantage of BOTH the exploding markets for image advice to individuals and to companies and groups about image and related topics.

The International Image Certification program is a 100 hour study-at-home course.  This program consists of both the Home Study Mentoring Program and the Certified Seminar Leader Program, so you are getting two certifications in one program.  It includes 8 modules and over 25 PowerPoint presentations.

Here is a detailed listing of all the vital skills you will learn about in the Home Study Mentoring Program from The ImageMaker, Inc. Dr. Knudsen will be available to answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.

You have about 90 seconds to make that all-important first impression. By utilizing your gift, the Personal Development Manual you will find out what it is like to "sit in the chair of your client" and only then that you will be ready to begin you career as a successful image consultant.

FASHION, IMAGE, AND STYLE will give your clients the information they need to look and feel their best. They will get a better understanding of fashion, color, and style and learn how to appreciate their own individual style. This module includes wardrobe capsule, elements of style, image check list and so much more.

FASHION WARDROBE FOR WOMEN is a module that will explain the fourteen point system, elements of a basic wardrobe, cool and warm colors, and petites.

FASHION WARDROBE FOR MEN is a module for men's success in social and business situations. It includes office and social dress, choosing suits, shirts patterns, and color for men, body types and styles, and business guidelines.

MAKE-UP AND SKIN CARE is a module that will teach you about skin needs, beauty burglars, what belongs in a make-up kit, how to apply makeup properly, and so much more.

COLOR ANALYSIS is a module that will teach you about color history, the three mainstays of color, color harmony, flow, and palettes. 60% of what people first see is color!

FIGURE ANALYSIS is a complete module designed to teach you about body and figure types, lines and silhouette, lifestyle dressing, and the do's and don'ts of dressing with proportions.

In order to have a successful business you must have "all your ducks in a row", meaning you can't open your doors for business unless you have prepared your business plan and be ready with all materials. Ignite your image business. Achieve financial success.

BUSINESS STRATEGIC PLANNING will enable you to not only assess yourself but also the people you are seeking to consult. This module will introduce you to personal assessment, A-Z of business success, how to plan and research your business, have a business checklist, and how to get customers.

BUSINESS CASUAL One of the reasons market researchers say that companies have moved toward casual business wear is that baby boomers, who grew up in jeans, never wanted to go toward the gray flannel suit. This did not work out the way it was planned. Learn the correct concept of what business should be.

BUSINESS ETIQUETTE will teach you about social and business etiquette, posture and poise, proper introductions and handshakes. Proper eye contact and presentation skills. It doesn't cost anything to be kind and understanding to others.

BUSINESS MARKETING will help you to get clients. Learn the 7 D's of Marketing, the types of Markets, what questions to consider, strategies for business success, and you are receiving a variety of "sample letters" to use for your business.

BUSINESS CONSULTING will help you to feel comfortable doing either one on one consulting with individuals or working in the corporate world. You will learn about preferences, the keys to proper listening, types of consultants, business variables and what skills are required to successfully consult with your clients.

SPEECH PRESENTATION is essential to working in the Image Field for you will be asked to speak and you need to know the format and basics to do this. This module will teach you about how to plan a speech, what you need to own, how to outline a speech, how to use handouts for visual aids and how to combine all aspects to create a successful presentation

SEMINAR PRODUCTION is different than giving a speech. In planning a seminar, you must know how to time yourself, know and understand the use of PowerPoint presentations and learn how to create an Interactive Environment for your participants.

COMMUNICATIONS is a module that includes both the verbal and nonverbal forms of communication. We "say" a lot to the world before we open our mouths. We also need to work on our voice quality and delivery when we communicate if we expect to have the receiver receive the message we intend them to get. This is often not the case.

VOICE & DICTION is a module that gives you the practice you need to "hear" yourself. You will learn about projection and pitch, how to do tongue twisters that you can use in your seminars and teach others how their voice affects their image.

Certification tells people that you have knowledge in a particular area. To obtain certification, you must complete the assignments listed in this packet, send in a Thank you letter on your stationary (or offer to do an audio message for my website!), complete the Image Final Paper.

For AICI CEU'S, you must complete a Time Sheet, Learning Outcomes, Evaluation Form and Verification Form so that I can send these to headquarters to get your credit for taking these programs.

RESOURCES will be updated as I receive more information. This includes book suggestions, valuable websites to look at and businesses that I have done business with and been satisfied with.

THIS PROGRAM comes with 1 complete slide show per module segment, not only for you to use during the learning process, but also for you to use in your own presentations.

CONGRATULATIONS! Once all of this has been accomplished, you will be an International Image Consultant and I will continue to mentor you for your business for as long as you need.

It combines the original Home Study Mentoring and Certified Seminar Leader programs, both of which are still available individually.

Be a seminar leader: It opens up a whole new world of opportunity, income and prestige for you as an image consultant.

As an image consultant -- whether you are one or plan to become one -- you help individuals improve their image. And that is one of today's most rewarding, high-prestige fields.

As a seminar leader, however, even greater opportunities are open for you -- opportunities in presenting seminars to help businesses teach their people what they need to know. Image is a big part of that, of course.

But there are huge and growing opportunities in image-related fields, such as communication, selling, relationships and customer service.

The Certified Seminar Leader program presented by The ImageMaker Inc. will open up those great new opportunities to you quickly and easily.

A seminar leader for training that the business world wants and needs is what you will become when you train with this program, developed by Dr. Joyce Knudsen, PhD, Certified Image Master.

Everyone from small business entrepreneurs to corporate managers, supervisors and human resource people are potential clients for you.

Your presentations can help them educate their people in the full scope of image and self-development as well as in such key business functions as communication, customer service and appreciation to help grow and develop their businesses.

The Certified Seminar Leader program teaches you how to make presentations on these and many more subjects . . . and gives you the materials you need to get started right away.

Examples that you can use to create your own presentations.

Training Made Easy

The instruction and materials you receive are approved by both the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) and the International Association For Continuing Education Training (IACET).  That means you can be assured of their quality.

As a seminar leader certified by The ImageMaker, Inc., presenting informative, professionally-designed presentations, your customers can also be assured about your knowledge and expertise.

The pre-packaged seminars are contained in four modules.

Each comes with a professional PowerPoint® presentation and workbook.

Training Ready-Made For You To Present

Helping build business is every employee's job, and this module provides the means to train and motivate employees to do just that. It includes sections on Relationship Coach, Customer Appreciation and Positioning Yourself For Success.

RELATIONSHIP COACHING is an interactive program for developing your individual employee positioning module, ready for immediate implementation.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION will give your clients the information they need to create great customer service by giving participants a better understanding of customer needs.

POSITIONING YOURSELF FOR SUCCESS is a based on the proven theory that, if employees feel good about themselves, they will be more productive in the company. It stresses positive attitudes, self-esteem, change and personal development.

STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS gives the entrepreneur or those wanting to be one the key information they should have. Segments: Business Readiness, Hobby Factor, Business Points, Steps To Excellence, Analysis, Research and Pricing.

TOTAL IMAGE is a seminar that powerfully communicates the importance of, not only the external image and the self-image, but also the individual's feeling of wellness -- because each can affect the performance of both the individual and the organization in a major way.

Segments include Combining Facets of Image, Self-Esteem and Self-Image, Communication, De-Sensitizing Yourself To Stress, Boosting Mental Energy and Lifestyle Development.

WARDROBE AND COLOR is a seminar that offers important insight into aspects of color and clothing -- aspects that can have a real impact on image and the way people are seen by others.

Segments include: Beauty of Color, History of Color (warm/cool), Color Effects, Dressing With Color, Personal Color Analysis, Clothing Basics/Capsule Dressing, Grouping Clothes, Color Style, Closet Organization, Wardrobe Worksheet, Image Dynamics, 10 Must-Haves, Shopping For Proportion, Your Clothing Personality, Types Of Clothing . . . and much more.

Communication is a central factor in the way people perceive others -- the image they have of them. It largely determines whether they rust them, whether they feel the other person cares about them and wants to help them.

That communication (verbal or nonverbal) can make all the difference in succeeding in sales -- and in everyday living. So, this module covers both areas in two separate seminars -- a Sales Seminar and a Communications Seminar.

SALES SEMINAR. This deals with sales from the standpoint of the relationships you create with your communication -- whether the prospect feels you are earning his trust, whether you are addressing his real concerns, along with such things as selling principles, buying personalities and handling objections.

COMMUNICATIONS SEMINAR. This covers communications broadly, both verbal language and paralanguage, as well as the communication of your appearance, the respect you show to others and the empathy you show.

Presentations skills are key to success in the business world and this seminar will enable you to equip your client learners with the knowledge and expertise they need.

There are two related programs, each packed with the "how-to" information they will need.

SEMINAR PRODUCTION. Many people in the business world will find themselves in the position of having to put on seminars themselves. This program will equip you to tell your client learners all they need to know about organizing, structuring, setting up and conducting a seminar.

SPEECH PRESENTATION. The need to make presentations before groups is a "given" in today's business world -- and this program will let you guide your client learners in how to do it well.  It equips you with sound, practical advice on everything from voice tone, pitch and volume to gestures, eye contact and appropriate dress for a presentation.

THIS PROGRAM comes with 10 PowerPoint presentations (one complete slide show for each module segment), for you to use during the learning process.

When you complete the Certified Seminar Leader program, you will receive your Certified Seminar Leader certification from The ImageMaker, Inc., plus the above materials -- which will equip you to go into the training seminar business immediately.

You can purchase the program separately or combine it (and save) with our great Home Study Mentoring program, enabling you to be BOTH an International Certified Image Consultant and a Certified Seminar Leader.

Read what a recent graduate of The International Image Certification Program had to say.

Dear Joyce,

Having just completed your dual program for image certification and certified seminar leader during six months of mentoring, I can't imagine choosing a 5, 10, or even 14 day course. There is so much valuable material within your course work and questions that needed to be answered. Your work was of the highest quality and you constantly sent me new information as it was developed. I found it so much more valuable to have someone of your caliber-- who truly cares enough to work one on one with me.

If anyone is reluctant to take your courses, or feels that there is not the same value as a onsite course, they simply do not know your heart, nor have they seen your exemplary work. Whenever I had questions, even though I live in Singapore, it seemed almost immediate that you were right there online ready to help in any way you could.

Your program and you got me prepared for the business world. And, if that weren't enough, you keep your word about being there for the life of my business. I feel very fortunate to have chosen you for my mentor. Thank you so much.

With gratitude,
--Aileen Lane, Nutri-Style, Singapore
