Elaine Stoltz standing to my left is the lady who saved my sanity when I was in my mid-30s looking to make a career pivot (or 180!). She has been training men and women to be image consultants for many years, and she trained me 19 years ago, giving me a path forward to a new, more fulfilling career. I am forever grateful to her. If I have made a lasting impact on you and your style, you have Elaine to thank. ❤️😊
Alyse Parsons, seated wearing the black and gold, is one of the pioneers of our industry (along with Elaine and others). I will link her book in the comments. She, too, has tirelessly shared her mastery in image consulting, molding many of us “baby” image consultants. 🖤
What a joy to be with both at the recent Hue & Stripe conference in Dallas. Both ladies taught courses at the conference, continuing to educate so many of us. What a wonderful example they set to follow. Keep learning, keep teaching, keep growing.
