"In today's fast-faced world, more and more people are calling upon image consultants to help achieve the best version of themselves. In the financial industry, first impressions matter and how you present yourself can make or break your career. Nicola Landau of The Imagine Consultancy was fantastic -- she helped us to understand that the key to style and image is having a clear understanding of our own individual colouring and body shape, and dressing to complement it. Nicola also helped us to understand that the way we present ourselves, through the clothes we wear and the effort we put into our make-up, says a lot to people about who we are.
In the financial industry, it is essential that we present ourselves well and make sure our image fits in with that of the company we represent. Nicola worked through concepts such as personal branding and how we send out a strong message through our appearance about who we are and what our core values are. Her workshop was invaluable."

"I have known Nicola for many years and have always thought that she had great style and dressed well. I decided that I would like her to give me an image consultation as I have always worn a lot of black and not much colour and I really wanted a change. Nicola explained what colours and shades of those colours would compliment my skin tone and what cut, fabric and finish of clothing would best flatter my figure. She showed me examples of clothes that would look good on me and also pointed out pieces to avoid. I now go shopping with Nicola’s advice in mind and feel more confident in my choice of clothing and make-up. Nicola explained in detail that was easy to understand and remember, she was very approachable and the image ‘makeover’ was very interesting. I often ask Nicola to accompany me to stores whether I am looking for casual clothes or something special for a highbrow occasion. She has a great eye and I trust her advice completely."

"In today’s hard market, Nicola has made me realize that it is more important than ever to have my sales team looking at their best. As I was having a branding consultation for myself, it became clear that as important as my product and price were, the presentation of my sales team was even more fundamental. The sales team is on the front line of my business, they had to look impressive in their overall presentation and demeanour as their look was, in truth part of my business’ packaging. I am ever so grateful and will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nicola’s unique style and approach to any person or company."

"I had been out of the workplace for several years with young children and felt I needed a bit of guidance and help in getting my image together again before I started looking for a new job. My sessions with Nicola were really informative, relaxed and good fun. I left feeling that I had the tools to go back into work looking good and feeling confident. Having had my style and colour consultation, I was able to update my look and create a good working wardrobe with flattering hair and make up. I can’t recommend Nicola highly enough."

"I knew I was not making the best of myself. Having just got divorced and beginning a new chapter of my life, I really wanted to feel that I looked good. My confidence was low and I had not really given much thought to my physical presentation for some time. Nicola’s sessions really helped me to re-focus mentally on myself and gear up to make some positive changes in my life. I now look great (if I say so myself!). I am told I look ten years younger than previously. I look sophisticated but still feel relaxed and myself. I am now eagerly anticipating the future with confidence."

"I had been working in a large law firm for sometime and I was hoping for partnership. I never felt like I was well put together and sophisticated and I was worried that this would impede my chances of becoming a partner. I went to Nicola in the hope that I could learn to dress in a way that looked well groomed and professional. Thankfully my time and investment with her paid off. I look very different now at work and it has been noticed. I am now a partner and I think it is fair to see that is in some part, due to the knowledge gained from my image consultation."

"Two years ago my daughter was getting married and I really wanted to look good at the wedding. I do not have a perfect figure but I still wanted to feel confident and glamorous. I hesitated before spending the money on an image consultant but Nicola was recommended to me and it was the best money I ever spent. I had many compliments at the wedding which was wonderful but more importantly I am now much more confident when choosing clothes. I look younger and slimmer and do not waste money on clothes that sit at the back of my wardrobe, never worn."
