Testimonials

“As a Senior Executive, I was moving into a new, exciting and demanding era of my working life and wanted to update my image both in the workplace and personally.
Image Impact, have provided a comprehensive insight into me as a person, quickly identifying issues and concerns, turning the negatives into positives and then translating these characteristics into the image I wanted to project.
I found it refreshing to find a company that sincerely dedicated their time and skills to me as an individual and had a genuine interest in ensuring that the time spent was achieving my expectations.
As an experienced manager of people I would highly recommend the use of these services, which can only lead to improved business performance.”
- Anne Shute, Vice President, Global Sales North America, Accord Hotels and Resorts.

“The day crystallised things I knew about myself and what I do. It clarified them and made them easier to walk round them and gave me things to think about going forward. It helped me to think through and clarify what the organisation, my role within the organisation and my work is about and how this reflected in my values and my image. I would recommend this to knowledge workers - male and female - everywhere. If the commodity you are "selling" is your own credibility, this is for you.”
- D. W. P, Director Friends Provident Charitable Foundation

“Very professional & practical workshop - presenter was very credible & established good rapport with delegates.”
- Joseph Rowntree Foundation Delegate

“I found it empowering, as it really helped me understand how I've been approaching presentation and image, and why I've been thinking things need to change but in a way that is still 'me’. Thought Fi was great at this.”
- Joseph Rowntree Foundation Delegate

“I was impressed at the way she got to know us as individuals and did not try to impose her own style or preferences at all. I was left with lots of food for thought.”
- Joseph Rowntree Foundation Delegate

“Fi has recently worked closely with some senior JRF staff to enhance their image, particularly when dealing with key external customers. Even the initially more sceptical staff enthused after the course that they feel more confident about adapting their style and will be making alterations to the way they look. Following the workshop Fi's professional help was sought by one of our Deputy Directors who was meeting the Prime Minister. Fi provided practical, specific advice at very short notice, resulting in the Director buying new clothes that enhanced her confidence when meeting the P.M. and resulted in favourable comments from colleagues.”
- Des Johnson, Training Officer, Joseph Rowntree Foundation

“I booked Fi for a ‘Personal Branding’ day as I had reached a point in my career where I needed to reassess what line of business I wanted to follow, especially looking at job satisfaction. I was also struggling with ‘business’ style and image as I was very uncomfortable with the type of clothes I was wearing in business and was struggling to make the right choices to fit the diverse cultures of our market place.
Fi was empathetic, logical and professional. She made me feel very relaxed asked me questions to find out all about me and used different approaches
Fi then assessed my colour and we talked through my image – both personal and work. In both areas Fi completely surprised and delighted me by solving my image problems – she patiently worked through the process, asking me questions and was quite inspired in her final solutions!
With the approach to my career, Fi used a fascinating ‘card’ assessment, which was highly accurate, very interesting and again has made a great impact on my career choices. I can now plan out my career progression, knowing that I am only going to choose the types and style of work that I will gain the most satisfaction from.
I am really grateful to Fi for her insightfulness, her knowledge and her warm personality; I really enjoyed my ‘Personal Branding’ day.”
- Anon, Business Owner, Herts

“I learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed my day I think it is a great integration process, i.e. taking the nuts and bolts – science of scale and colour – and integrating that with the personal lifestyle of the individual.”
- Pat Nathan, VP Diversity Dell Computers (EMEA)

“This day was so helpful as it gave me renewed confidence. For me the day was about putting the finishing touches to my most valuable asset – me. This is about being able to sell myself to best effect and the consultation has certainly helped me to achieve that. My day with you has paid massive dividends in my job search. Everyone has commented how good I look and people who know me think I have lost lots of weight so it just goes to show how the right colours and styles really make a difference.“
- Rachael Hunter MBA student, Cranfield

“Wow! What a useful day! So much information covered is such a relatively short time. I cannot begin to tell you how useful the whole experience has proved to be. It has saved me money. I can really recommend your skilled, conscientious and friendly approach and advice. Thank you.”
- Lynda Taylor, local manager for a national charity

“She has increased my confidence and made my decision making easier. I add the confidence of how I look to a high level of confidence in my personal approach and the two complement one another. I would recommend the process and Fi’s gift of sensitivity to what I needed in order to move on in this aspect of my personal and professional presentations.”
- Lea Jamieson, Independent Educational Consultant

“As a freelancer I found the process useful for helping me define my own brand image – corporates have their own. The session was important for confidence building, winning business – does my look say I’m good, professional, competent? – I’m more confident about my work and more relaxed and so I know I’ll get what I want. It’s given me confidence in myself as a woman.”
- S. Shelley, Independent Clinical Trialist

“She is very intuitive and facilitates each coaching session beautifully. Her desire to help comes shining through.”
- S. R. Director of Life Coaching UK College of Life Coaching

“The coaching process gave me more clarity in areas of my own thoughts. You asked me questions that I would never have asked myself. I’ve always felt able to articulate my own thoughts and feelings re. my circumstances but you don’t know what you don’t know and it was really useful to have someone outside of your own situation/ thought processes to jog your mind and ask questions, getting you to think in a way you wouldn’t normally think.”
- A.W. Head of Fundraising for a National Charity

“The session identified the best way forward for me. It cleared a challenging and exciting route through the jungle that seemed frustratingly impenetrable and saved me hours of scrabbling about in the dark.”
- R.W.

“Happy in many areas of my like, I felt pessimistic about my working life and ability to change career in a new country. I didn’t know where to begin to tackle this issue and felt quite lost. I wanted to tackle my lack of self-confidence in my work skills and my ability to make a new change in my life ‘happen’ for me. As a result of being coached by Fi I am now positive and optimistic about what I can offer a potential employer and feel confident about selling myself into a chosen role. My self-confidence is higher, my belief in my skills and abilities have improved.”
