Elizabeth Kuhnke recommends Carol .......

Carol and I both presented at the Conference for Women in Science and Engineering at Cambridge University. Full of vitality and expertise, as one of the leading Image Consultants in the UK, she inspired the audience with her warm and practical approach with advice on the importance of looking good and presenting the best image in every situation. She emphasised the need to dress appropriately, whilst still taking care to express individual personality as part of their personal branding. Carol’s mission is for women to ‘Look Their Worth’ in the professional marketplace and she certainly delivered that message to them all, with her infectious enthusiasm and style.

An Evening with Carol Collins on Dating & Dining Etiquette - Maldon Young Farmers' Club

" We recently had a very captaviating talk by Carol Collins on: "The etiquette of Dating and Dining". As the organiser of this event, I must say that Carol really surpassed my already high expectations of her skills and knowledge within this field because the talk was so well suited and tailor-made to the group; she really took into account the ages, the attitudes and the formality of the meeting when planning her talk and kept good contact with myself prior to the meeting, making it her aim to follow my wishes for the format of the evening. Carol was such an engaging, confident and accessible speaker on the night, her talk was highly factual, yet laced with appropriate humour and broken up with interactivity from members of the group and visual aids. The Maldon Young Farmers thoroughly enjoyed Carol's talk and I have received nothing but positive feedback about it from them. The content of Carol's talk was so versatile; not just exploring interesting avenues of dress, image and colour as you would expect from her standing within the image profession, but it also explored themes of manners and personal tastes. I really cannot recommend Carol's services enough; a highly professional service is certainly offered from start to finish."

Feedback from 'Image Matters' at Essex University.....

“Carol's delivery was, precise, concise and inspiring. I never knew the importance of self-image and that we can change the way people see us without changing who we are."

“Carol Collins' Image Workshop was an eye opening and an extremely useful session on the importance and relevance of 'Personal Branding' especially in the Business World. Carol engages her audience in hands-on activities that bring Image Education to life. I thoroughly recommend Carol Collins.”

Max Newbiggin-Watts Philosophy, Politics and Economics 1st Year

"The event was surprisingly refreshing and got to the point fast. As a third year student about to join the work force I found the specific tips she gave immensely useful in preparation for interviews and understanding how to fit in with a company's culture. Carol did a great job of placing the subliminal meaning colours have to people in the context of the workplace which is what is particularly useful for people looking to create and refine their "image" at work so as to maximise their career prospects."

Carol Presents to Leading Russian Businesswomen

"Carol, thank you very much for investing your time in meeting the Russian group in London yesterday. The participating attendees were very pleased with your session, one of the highlights of their day.

A few had previously attended training courses on image improvement in Moscow, but liked you immensely as a person and found your guidance on appropriate business dress very helpful. The group also spoke highly of your respectful and enthusiastic presentation manner.

I hope that we can work together on future events and I will surely be in touch regarding in-company sessions in Moscow, Russia or Almaty, Kazakhstan."

To offer a new service to their new customers, M & S asked Carol to design a programme for their Customer Assistants, to give them that extra `edge` when helping customers with their wardrobe concerns.

Quote from Jayne Saunders,Store Manager, Victoria, London
The workshops were very popular as the customer assistants found that the CC Image coaching provided a new dimension to customer service. They practised their new skills with their clients, who were in turn delighted to have this wardrobe guidance, many asking for the same staff member on their return to the store.
