If I could do it for free I would (the operative word is “if” so don’t think I am doing it for free unless I hit the lottery)! I work with brilliant people from Moms to Executives to Professors all having different jobs and views of the world. My last client, a woman who has a PHD and is soon speaking in Washington DC, went shopping for her upcoming event. Later, after we were worn out from shopping, we had a drink and a great deal of discussion about my Image Consultant career and her career. She works with the science of saving the environment, internationally. We talked about how ALL jobs are important no matter your background and it all comes down to your intent.
What is interesting is that my diverse clients hire me for the same reason- to reinvent themselves in different ways. They come from different walks of life but the intent is the same-reinvention.
She had a scientific name for me, an “Epistemologist,” (hmmmm it sounds like the study of bugs or a pretty serious title for an Image Consultant)! Definition: the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of knowledge, its presuppositions and foundations, and its extent and validity.
I had no idea that I could be labeled in a scientific way.
I ask a lot of questions (ask my husband & kids) to understand who my client is and what they want. I want my clients to answer it from within rather than me deciding for them. I can offer suggestions and ask them to open up to new ideas, but they are the one in charge. I don’t make commission from clothing sales so I can be totally honest. I want the very best for my clients in their personal journey for reinvention.
