<strong>AICI</strong> Certification forms<br />

an integral part of my<br />

personal branding strategy<br />

and distinguishes me from<br />

others, especially in an era<br />

of “self-declared” image<br />

consultants.<br />

I would find myself wondering why I was wasting<br />

my time and money on something that I loved but<br />

unfortunately could not pay the bills! Perhaps image<br />

consulting only works as a viable source of income in<br />

the western world I thought to myself that whoever<br />

said “Do what you love and the money will follow”<br />

must be crazy!<br />

Today, my speaking engagements and workshops<br />

are paid at international rates and could favorably<br />

compare to what a bankable and experienced image<br />

consultant in the western world would be earning.<br />

What changed I made a whole-hearted decision to<br />

make image consulting a “real” business and to be<br />

successful in it! Part of my arsenal of tools to help<br />

build my credibility and persuade individuals and<br />

corporations that I am capable of helping them in the<br />

pursuit of their goals is <strong>AICI</strong> Certification. This forms<br />

an integral part of my personal branding strategy and<br />

distinguishes me from others, especially in an era of<br />

“self-declared” image consultants.<br />
