A coaching session will typically take place as a conversation between the coach and the coachee (person being coached), and it focuses on helping the coachee discover answers for themselves. After all, people are much more likely to engage with solutions that they have come up with themselves, rather than those that are forced upon them.
Coaching is not … counseling or psychotherapy
Therapists or counsellor often look at the past to helps understand the present; they mentor individuals to replace or take on specific new behaviors. It’s a healing process for the wounds and pains of the past.
Coaching is a method to look towards the future. It is for people who desire to see improvement and beneficial change in their lives to move forward. It helps individuals move toward effective action by focusing on the present. A coach asks questions that provoke awareness, creating an environment for self-discovery.
Considering that India has become a complex work place with mounting pressures that affect personal and professional life, Life Coaching is a positive support that people can take up to feel more effective, efficient, successful and fulfilled.
Why you should see an Image and Nonverbal Coach
Our Image is our Visual Resume
Did you know that your visual appearance accounts for almost 93% of the impression we give to other people? We are a mental picture of what others think about us. This means our image is our visual resume and that knowing how to manage our personal presentation, such that we are quickly seen as effective and confident, is as critical as any business skill on a resume.
Dress for success to create impressive self-image
These days though, it is not just business attire we need to worry about, but also business casual. Many workplaces now have ‘casual Friday’ where employees can dress down a little. While this can be a lot of fun, it can also be a minefield, as often we are not very clear about the distinction between “Business formals” and “Business Casual”. A professional Image consultant assists you to understand these nuances and gets you ready to dress for success.
Professional image consultants know how to help one dress for success, and also how to use body language, business etiquette and color to our advantage, such that we always appear, behave and communicate appropriately, authentically and attractively.
An image consultant will be able to show us exactly which colors and styles of clothing and accessories best suit us and how to dress for success, whatever the occasion and no matter what size, age or shape we are.
It’s a process and hence it takes course over a period of time through sessions that are specially designed for the coachee.
A great time to see an image consultant is when we are looking to get a new job or have been recently hired for one. For fresh graduates, with barely any exposure to the corporate world, job interview is a very stressful time and a professional appearance with perfect business etiquette is of utmost importance to ace the interview. In today’s fast-paced world first impressions count, and our competence, intelligence and reliability is judged within seconds.
Change your Self Image, Change your life
So if we are interested in revamping our appearance for a new job or an interview, a new role we might have undertaken; professionally or personally, or a new relationship that we would like to start, we may want to think about using the services of an image consultant, to explore and understand ourselves better.
From professional image to personal image, a qualified image consultant can not only help us find the perfect wardrobe for the image of success that we want to portray, but also teach us how to behave and conduct yourself with perfect business etiquette from boardroom to a bar room, from birthdays to weddings to funerals, teaching us the art of conversation to gifting to lifestyle hobbies, assisting the clients in always putting our best foot forward and creating lasting self-impressions to achieve life’s goals and ambitions.
Another reason to see an image consultant is simply that we want to understand ourselves better, and showcase the inner strengths and skills to the outer world, so that we can experience richer, more fulfilling and happier lives. As we can see, there are a number of reasons why we may want to turn to a professional image consultant, but the important question to ask here is; “Do we want to be an image of success?”
