wwwaiciorgAuthentic_Beauty

aiciglobalgmailcom

Vision the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom Our AICI founders had a vision of creating a world-class association for image professionals

Cecilia Stoeckicht our international VP of Conference had a vi-sion of reigniting our membersrsquo enthusiasm for Conference Riet de Vlieger our past VP of Chapter Relations had a vision of edu-cational bodies and associations having access to our world-class certification programs and I had a vision that AICI could become the ultimate voice in championing that we are all beautiful no mat-ter our shape size sex creed or color

For those of us who were lucky enough to attend the global conference in Washington DC we heard consistently from our incredible keynote speakers Dr Jennifer Baumgartner Howard Roberts Sue Donnelly and Sarah Brummitt that many individu-als companies and image professionals have given themselves the green light to change their vision in order to reflect the world we live in today We learned that having a vision helps us see first within ourselves and then allows us to share with others our big-gest ideas and tell our stories Itrsquos our stories that inspire our cli-ents and audiences Without vision itrsquos difficult for us to develop a good strategy or roadmap to move forward

Nelson Mandela so beautifully said ldquoAction without vision is only passing time vision without action is merely day dreaming But vision with action can change the worldrdquo Our founders did create a world-class association that now has the highest qualified im-age professionals in the world Cecilia Stoeckicht did reignite our enthusiasm for conference Riet de Vlieger has opened up our world-class certification program to over 3000 students and I will see our Authentic Beauty unCompromised program launched on International Image Consultants Day on November 23 2015 It all started with a vision

There is an abundance of vision to be shared with us all in the pages of this edition of our global magazine May the words within ignite a new vision within all of us as we each have the ability to change the world

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

ldquoACTION WITHOUT VISION IS ONLY PASSING TIME VISION WITHOUT ACTION IS MERELY DAY DREAMING BUT VISION WITH ACTION CAN CHANGE THE WORLDrdquo

ndashNELSON MANDELA


In their closing keynote session at the 2015 AICI Global Conference Sarah Brummitt AICI CIP and

Sue Donnelly AICI CIP challenged

us to re-imagine our work and the

way we do it They prompted us to

throw away ldquothe rulesrdquo and ldquodress

outside the boxrdquo In a presentation

rich with detail they offered five

strategies to put into practice in our

businesses and in our lives

STRATEGY ONE TELL YOUR STORY

Own it Your power lies in your ability to be real When you reveal yourself other people will start to recognize themselves in your stories

STRATEGY TWO FIND OUT WHATrsquoS REALLY IMPORTANT

The ldquoWHYrdquo of why yoursquore doing what yoursquore doing is what will

shape the ldquowhatrdquo and the ldquohowrdquo

As Donnelly put it ldquoSometimes you

get stuck in the mud and you donrsquot

know whatrsquos important People will

tell you lsquoYou need some MampMsrsquo or

lsquoYou need OREO cookies because

OREO cookies will give you the

boost you need on your websitersquo Or

lsquoRice milk Itrsquos the in thing Itrsquos the

thing of the futurersquo Or lsquoCelery How

can you go wrong with something

FIVE STRATEGIES FOR BECOMING REALBY SUSAN HESSELGRAVE AICI FLC

ldquoThatrsquos what real love amounts to mdash letting a person be what he really is Most people love you for who you pretend to be To keep their love you keep pretending mdash performing You get to love your pretense Itrsquos true wersquore locked in an image an act mdash and the sad thing is people get so used to their image they grow attached to their masks They love their chains They forget all about who they really arerdquomdashJIM MORRISON


thatrsquos been around foreverrsquo But nobody knows what you stand for If your Why was concentrated on health would you buy all these products No Fill your basket based on your Why This saves you money time clarity And it attracts the right clients because you share the same valuesrdquo

Think about what you might stop doing Think about all the things you do now to promote your business (networking webinars blogging etc) and make a list of the ones that donrsquot inspire you Take them out of your ldquobasketrdquo Brummitt and Donnelly stress that everything you do should fill you with passion If you dread network-ing you shouldnrsquot be doing that If yoursquore not a good writer why are you trying to do that

STRATEGY THREE RAISE YOUR VIBRATION

The core principle in this strategy is that we need to be inspired our-selves in order to inspire others We can increase our inspiration level by paying attention to both our inter-nal and external environments

bull Your Working Environment Clutter keeps you stuck

bull Your Companions Be discerning about the people you come into contact with Ditch the ldquodrainsrdquo people who suck you dry

bull Your Personal Presentation You need to think about the clothes that you wear and be inspired filled with joy and possibility

ldquoWe can dress too much by the rules This is a dictated way of living that is not empowering Celebrate how [your clients] look and challenge a few more rules We need to open our experiences to see why people are doing what they are doingrdquo Donnelly cautioned Donnelly shared a story of a client she had early in her practice The client was a redhead with warm coloring and she arrived wearing pastel pink ldquoI just love this colorrdquo the client told her Donnelly ex-plained that pink was not the most flattering color for the client and dressed her in colors ldquoappropriaterdquo to her coloration ldquoI thought Irsquod done my jobrdquo Donnelly recounted ldquobut I did that client a disservice I should have found out why that pink was so important to herrdquo

Brummitt stressed ldquoWhat we do is huge We transform peoplersquos lives We are not a fluffy lsquonice to haversquo We need to go into our work with a big big WHY Get the deepest connec-tion with your clients So ask your-self lsquohow can I make the deepest connection with my clients todayrsquordquo

STRATEGY FOUR FIND YOUR ZONE OF GENIUS

Finding your zone of genius will re-plenish your passion When yoursquore in

your zone the day just whizzes by To find our own personal zone we need to go within We need to create space to have conversations with ourselves where we ask the ques-tions and can listen to the answers For Donnelly journaling helps her find those answers ldquoI get it outrdquo she says so she can ldquolet it inrdquo Your in-tuition Brummitt adds is intimately connected to your body Pay atten-tion to your gut instinct

STRATEGY FIVE NEVER STAND STILL

Keep moving forward holding before you your higher purpose your vision Your personal calling is as unique to you as your personal fingerprint Brummitt and Donnelly closed the conference with a rallying cry ldquoFigure out what you love then find a way to serve others with what you love to dordquo

Executive Presence is neither exclusive nor elusiveTM

Patrick Chun is a man with a vision ldquoThe writing is on the wall Image consultants will be at the forefront of the next wave of company success

Companies that are forward-thinking will realize this It will be the softest of the soft skills mdash civility group communications and business ethics mdash that will make all the difference in company performancerdquo

Chun believes the image industry should be prepared to take a leading role He cites a recent study con-ducted by the Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California (FORTUNE June 10 2015) that concluded that develop-ing cultural competence and empathy across all levels of their organization were among the top priorities of C-suite executives

This is why he has developed the nonprofit Institute of Image Training and Testing International IITTI (pro-nounced ldquoETrdquo) For Chun people skills are paramount ldquoI came from the ranks of engineering in hi-tech Itrsquos a very different culture Management can be very insen-sitive I remember this was way back in the mid-80s when a co-worker just came into the office one day after years at that company and turned his desk upside down and then left I was right there People were re-

ally moved shocked He was a nice person very steady And then one day he couldnrsquot take it The frustration overwhelmed him The thing is technology may have changed but fundamentally we are still human beings That hasnrsquot changedrdquo

Considering his 20+ years running his own highly successful software company one might think Patrick Chun was the last person to spearhead an initiative that stresses the importance of ldquosoft skillsrdquo the ldquoBrdquo (behav-ior) and ldquoCrdquo (communication) of image to the future success of companies worldwide But he is convinced by his own experience ldquoMy company Greenwood Canada had a very low attrition rate That was because of our company culture People werenrsquot lsquoplug and playrsquo Programmers signed off on each piece of code with their name hellipThe Fortune 500 companies are winning because of their long history of corporate culture Soft

skills are not a sideshow not a lsquonice to haversquo Soft skills are directly tied to the bottom linerdquo

How important are soft skills to the success of a com-pany Chun provides a standout example with the online company Zapposcom ldquoThey went from zero to over a billion dollars in revenue in ten years ndash a blink of an eye How did they do that By a commitment to the company culture and brand values Zappos understands they are a customer-service company You know how they hire people They give them seven weeks of paid training Seven weeks Thatrsquos kind of unheard of these days And then at the end of that training they tell them lsquoIf you donrsquot want to work here wersquoll pay you not torsquo Because they donrsquot want money to be the reason people hire on Zappos understands that people who donrsquot believe in the culture will hurt the bottom linerdquo And what is Zapposrsquo tagline a company only made pos-sible by the evolution of internet technology Powered by servicereg (For a more detailed look at Zappos see the post at Corporate Culture Revolution)

Chun pays attention to soft skills at home too His two daughters a 6th grader and a sophomore in high school just like many youth today interact with their smartphones a lot ldquoI donrsquot like it how it tends to take over I encourage them to think independently Our youth are constantly bombarded by messages some almost subliminalrdquo He knows what works for his family in terms of ldquounpluggingrdquo and having real-time conver-sations ldquoI take them camping in places where there is no WiFi The week before the AICI Conference we went camping and swimming near Whistler Itrsquos our tradition to go camping every summer We have a great timerdquo The best place to get away from it all Out in the middle of nowhere with no cell service

According to Chun the image industry will be the next big thing in providing companies with a competi-tive advantage ldquoSomeday soon there will be a CPO in every company A Chief People Officer This person will provide a synthesis of HR [human resources] and image skills Right now HR is a second-class citizen That will change The CPO will be someone either an internal po-sition or an outsourced consultant who will for instance go to all the important meetings and listen not to the content of the meeting but the feel of the meeting Body language Interactions Non-verbal cues How people are feeling after the meetingrdquo Image professionals will become the go-to experts in this arena and their skill set will expand and deepen to encompass aspects such as business ethics and group communications ldquoImage con-sultants wonrsquot be coming in for a one-time training on appearance These will be long-term positions or partner-ships with the corporationrdquo

For more information on how IITTIorg can partner with image consultants visit the Education resources on the AICI website By the end of the year Chun plans to offer a series of videos and white papers that can be used by AICI members to educate and engage corporate decision makers

When was the last time you walked into a retail out-let restaurant or office

only to be turned off by a carelessly dressed untrained or disengaged member of staff Disappointing to say the least

Is this also happening to customers in your business Chances are you never really know Research shows that customers simply take business elsewhere Worse still they may complain on social media

Inconsistent service not only impacts bottom line profits today it erodes the companyrsquos future business And the problem is even bigger Not only do front-line teams

fail to deliver the brandrsquos promise the same is true all the way up the corporate ladder to leaders

While managers may think the problem lies in who HR is hiring how theyrsquore interviewing prospects or even internal training strategies the problem is often rooted deeper

To consistently deliver brand experiences that keep customers coming back for more start by observing and asking three crucial questions before suggesting ad hoc ldquoimagerdquo improvements to front-line employees

1 Are the companyrsquos internal emails memos and oral communications

ldquobrand-worthyrdquo Would they stand up to being put on a billboard with your brandrsquos name as the author

2 Do employee training benefits and advancement opportunities epitomize the brandrsquos qualities Does the company treat its employ-ees the way it wants its customers to be treated Are they missing a key brand message like excellence respect fun or safety

3 Finally does management believe in the brand promise How do they demonstrate their commitment to this in the appearance behavior and communication of employees representing the brand throughout the ranks of the organization

SO YOUrsquoRE HAVING AN EMPLOYEE PRESENTATION PROBLEMBY CHRISTINA ONG AICI CIM

MASTER INSIGHTS


If any of these three questions resulted in a ldquonordquo or ldquomaybe notrdquo then the problem doesnrsquot begin and end with your customer-facing employees That is simply where itrsquos showing up today because the branding through your people process has failed

An expert image consultant is someone who can help leaders in this corporate dilemma They are equipped to identify where and how to remedy the root causes of a brand culture that sprouts issues in morale customer service and public relations

HERE IS WHAT TO SEEK OUT WHEN ENGAGING AN IMAGE CON-SULTANT BEST SUITED TO YOUR ORGANIZATIONrsquoS NEEDS

1 INTERNATIONAL EXPERTISE LOCAL RELEVANCE

While the world has become a global marketplace an image con-sultant with firsthand experience of the region and culture where

your business operates brings richer insights that will make all the difference Local relevance im-pacts change because it brings to life what matters to people such as specific values attached to service excellence

2 ACCREDITATION

Excellence is best measured through industry benchmarking Inquire about the consultantrsquos credentials with professional bodies such as the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) The resource directory on AICIrsquos website will also help you locate professionally certified image consultants in your area

3 PROVEN PROCESS

Every brand is unique Thatrsquos why leading image consultants work with their clients in close partner-ship to ensure sustainable results over timemdashfrom customizing their proven branding process around

your organization to fostering team

engagement delivering solutions

and engaging in post-training

follow-up measures

Following these guidelines or-

ganizations can launch an image

management program with clear

internal objectives Your people

can turn every service touch point

into an opportunity to build a brand

culture of excellence Bridging the

gap between lofty corporate brand

promises and tangible service excel-

lence through your people adds the

polish that builds profits

TEN TOP TIPS FROM AN INTERNATIONAL RECRUITER BY CHRISTINE GREENEISEN

MASTER INSIGHTS

CHRISTINE GREENEISEN is the founder and president of Search Plus International serving corporate clients in the automotive aerospace biomedical and high tech industries Here she offers insights from her 30+ years in recruiting on how hiring managers can improve the interview process so they attract and employ the best candidates

When confirming the interview appoint-ment include the appropriate dress code for that interview

Why Different venues industries or even days of the week can make a difference as to what dress is appropriate

As the Interviewer you are the face of the organization How you dress communicate and conduct yourself sets the tone and plays a major factor in recruiting best talent

Make sure you review the candidatesrsquo resumes ahead of time making notes on their resumes pertaining to questions you may have This sends a signal to candidates as to the importance and seriousness of filling the position with the right person

Be prompt There may be time constraints (flights other scheduled interviewer participants etc) If you find you are running late or have an unexpected conflict have another member of your interview team exchange herhis time slot with you Or have a company representative take the candidate to another

room (conference room etc) offering refreshments and company materials with an apology for the delay


Remember that the candidates are interviewing you as much as you are interviewing them Treat them as a guest with a friendly smile and in a profes-sional courteous manner Even if the candidate does not fit the role you want them to go away thinking ldquoWhat a great company I would like to work thererdquo Candidates

talk They can be your best advertising tool or not

Most candidates are a little apprehensive or nervous at first so take this opportunity to put them at ease Ask them about their driveflight to the company give them an overview of the companyposition begin the interview by asking about the candidatersquos first employer

Be a good listener When asking questions donrsquot lead the answers ndash pause and al-low them to answer

Be current on the legal-ity of questions you can ask

Keep the interview on track Going off the subject matter or too much story-telling will weaken your ability to assess the personrsquos abilities and cut into other participantsrsquo scheduled time

In concluding the interview thank them for coming in offer a strong handshake and walk them to the exit or the next interviewerrsquos office (And be sure to show them where the restrooms are located)


Prepping for an in-person interview can be

overwhelming With technology itrsquos even more difficult because companies can now research

YOU online before the interview

ENSURE THAT THE FIRST IMPRESSION YOU GIVE IS YOU AT YOUR BEST

DO YOUR HOMEWORK Educate yourself about the work and the culture of the company There is a lot of information available online Read press releases and search for photos and articles

OPTIMIZE YOUR ONLINE ldquoBRANDrdquo Make sure your online presence matches who you are at your best not your complaints about the world or your colorful social life

ENSURE YOUR INTERVIEW SUCCESSBY ANNA SOO WILDERMUTH AICI CIMWRITTEN BY THEA WOOD AICI FLC

MASTER INSIGHTS


DRESS APPROPRIATELY You might go by the build-ing and see how everyone is dressing as they leave the building after work Or ask your company contact what they expect for interview attire

WEARING A JACKET IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT This applies to both women and men Outside of North America this will be a full suit for men and a skirt suit for women Particular to the United States and Canada if it is a very casual and relaxed organiza-tion men may wear a jacket with a companion pair of pants and women can pair a skirt dress or pants with a jacket

MIND THE DETAILS Men wear a tie Women avoid a low-cut neckline Jewelry must not be distracting

GROOMING IS CRITICAL Make sure your clothing is in the best of condition immaculate and well-fitting Hairstyles should be conservative and for men no facial hair (unless you are interviewing in an art or technology field) Downplay makeup for women And universally wear a minimum of scented products (cologne after-shave etc)

CONNECT Offer a smile and a solid handshake and introduce yourself with direct eye contact ldquoHello Irsquom Jane Doe Irsquom so pleased to meet yourdquo

DURING YOUR INTERVIEW

KNOW WHAT YOU WANT What is your goal in apply-ing for this position How does this position match who you are and what you want to achieve

KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER Increasing rev-enues managing large projects to completion solving marketing problems etc

SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE Match the interviewerrsquos choice of words

AFFIRM YOUR INTEREST Ask if you can follow up with a call or email within a specific timeframe

AFTER YOUR INTERVIEW

ALWAYS SEND A THANK YOU NOTE IMMEDIATELY A handwritten note is best if possible However if you have poor handwriting type the note and sign it by hand (If the company first contacted you by email an emailed thank you may be appropriate)

IMAGE UPGRADE YIELDS BIG RETURNSldquolsquoKarenrsquo came to me through a client referral Karen is a personal banker who handles indi-viduals with $3 to $4 million portfolios She worked in a Chicago suburb and transferred to the downtown location under a new manager The new manager was not happy with her appearance or how she interacted with senior leadership Karen and I worked on all image related issues from hair to clothing facial expressions and body language She also took an assessment to determine her communica-tion style and help her navigate styles different from hers ldquo

Karen and I worked together for about 20 hours The change was dramatic Everyone was pleased and Karenrsquos career soared At a lunch I hosted for Karen and her business coach one year later I found out she was the yearrsquos top producer (the year previous she had been about to be fired) ldquo

FEATURE

In the past few years we have seen a gradual shift in the media as to how people are portrayed

Dove launched its Real Beauty campaign Macyrsquos has started to use curvier models in their catalogues and cosmetic companies are using the mature woman as their face of a product

I admire and support this change in the media But as an image profes-sional I can also recognize that as much as the media may put this more diverse woman in front of the camera they are not the ones who actually work with real people on a daily basis They are not the ones who stand in front of a mirror with a woman who has lost her confi-dence because of what she sees in the reflection or the teenager who thinks she sees something ugly or the gentleman who has lost his self-esteemmdashall because the media has convinced them that their reflection is not one of beauty

It is we image professionals who pick up the pieces and take our clients by the hand leading them to see themselves differently It is the combination of our expertise in understanding body shapes and proportions our ability to identify style personalities and our capac-ity to combine all of this with every clientrsquos unique lifestyle that makes us experts in expressing true beautymdashthe unique beauty of the individualOurs is the field of Authentic Beauty unCompromised

There is no one more qualified than The Association of Image Consul-tants International (AICI) to be-come the voice of Authentic Beauty unCompromised as AICI represents the highest qualified image pro-fessionals in the world The pur-pose of the AICI Authentic Beauty unCompromised initiative is to use our global influence to promote projects products and messages that reflect that every personmdashno

DIVERSITY CHAMPIONED ON THE RUNWAY

Formerly a plus-size model for Ford and editor at plus-size mag-azine Mode Catherine Schuller AICI CIP has been an outspo-ken advocate of plus-size fashion But she doesnrsquot intend to

stop there Schullerrsquos goal is to create an inclusive fashion environ-ment for all ldquoEveryone from toddlers to trannies We started with plus wersquore now going for embracing diversityrdquo

And the fashion shows and media are paying attention

Executive Editor and Co-Founder of NYFW Plus (September 9-13 2015) Brandee Joyner told Manik Mag a lifestyle magazine for the curvaceous woman ldquoItrsquos time for plus-size fashion to be mainstreamed Therersquos no reason why more plus-size celebrities shouldnrsquot be rocking the latest from plus-size designersrdquo

Even the ultimate New York media insider The New Yorker ex-hibits an evolving attitude ldquoFor anyone accustomed to navigating the anxious crowds at uptown Fashion Week Full Figured Fashion Week can feel like passing from a land of famine into one of plenty The guests are more racially diversemdashthere were plenty of white people but much of the crowd was African-American and Latinomdashand they come in every shape and size short women with slim waists and enormous breasts tall women with narrow shoulders and thick torsos round women pear-shaped women and a few mesmerized men The atmosphere is celebratory rather than cut-throatrdquo (The New Yorker Sept 22 2014 ldquoThe Plus Siderdquo by Lizzie Widdicombe)

ldquoOnly 5 of all designs are created with plus size in mindrdquo

The innovative company Alvanon specializing

in scanning technology to improve garment fit for the fashion industry has now developed a dress form based on thousands of scans of women and pro-portioned for sizes 16 and above This will provide designers with a key tool that allows them to design specifically for the larger figure

ldquoI thought the research behind the forms into body shapes was very interest-ing The forms have the womenrsquos curves in all the right places and the way the garments fall on this form is very close to how they would fall on a real bodyrdquo

I see AICI becoming predominantly international because certification is a high priority in the international world Hopefully we will have 10000 members in ten years Then we will have lots of interest in our services The biggest challenge is marketing our industry throughout the world As entrepreneurs we need to join forces as a large group to invest in a major marketing campaign mdash ELAINE STOLTZ AICI CIM

Only a few times in life do you have the opportunity to learn so much in such a short time This was the case at the AICI International

Conference First because of the knowledge and experiences shared by attendees from around the world but even more important due to the example of simplicity humility and wisdom about life displayed by the team who led this event

I met people who have achieved remarkable success and are recognized as gurus in their respective markets However they have not let success and fame distract them from their primary mission to GIVE They give people the tools and guidance to improve their image helping them to become better people and professionals and to project an image in perfect harmony with their values and goals

BY CAROLINA D TAN AICI FLC

270 PARTICIPANTS FROM 32COUNTRIES this is a united nations conference of image professionals

For me the warm welcome began days before the conference formally opened As I was exploring the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel I was greeted by the President of the AICI Washington DC Chapter the beautiful Cindy Ann Peterson AICI FLC

The next two days we toured the US Capitol and then explored the National Gallery of Art with Carla Mathis AICI CIM co-author of the image industry classic The Triumph of Individual Style I enjoyed meeting new friends some of whom I was already connected with online

Dr Jennifer Baumgartner opened the conference with a presentation that was inspiring and that challenged ldquofast-fashionrdquo

Howard Robertsrsquo animated and entertaining delivery of his ldquoBrand Your Inspiration to Create Your Own Brandrdquo used the entertainer Madonna as an example of a music icon who has sustained the magic for decades by having a strong brand

I was asked to participate in the ldquoAICI Walks the Runwayrdquo fashion show a new event at the conference Being a former model helped boost my confidence It was fantastic to wear the original creation of one of AICIrsquos talented designers Delby Bragais AICI CIP whose SpringSummer 2016 Collection was to be showcased at the inaugural Style Fashion Week in New York City on September 10

The CIM Round Table discussions inspired us as we moved from table to table absorbing a rapid flow of valuable information Thank you to all of our Certified Image Masters and Founders as they shared generously from the heart


The evening gala was a real showcase of achievements elegance beauty and dancing

Lastly if you think for a moment that momentum slowed on the last day yoursquore wrong the four-hour session with Sarah Hathorn AICI CIM was powerful I emerged committed to reviewing analyzing and applying her principles in my consulting business

Sarah Brummitt AICI CIP and Sue Donnelly AICI CIP brought the conference to a brilliant close with their thought-provoking ldquoInspiring Change Making Over the Image Industryrdquo We were asked to clarify the ldquowhyrdquo in our image business instead of just the ldquohowrdquo and ldquowhatrdquo

So why is the AICI Global Conference worth the cost and 37 hours of flying from Manila to attend the conference Thatrsquos easy to answer

bull Friendshipsbull Professional learning at the highest levelbull Valuable collaborationsbull The certification advantagebull The in-person experience of seeing feeling

being with and believing in each other and what we do

Irsquom truly proud to be part of AICI

CAROLINA D TAN AICI FLC is the founder and president of Enhance Your Image Training Consultancy A former model and television host she is also an alumna of John Robert Powers International and has been its active consultant at the school for 16 years She was recognized at the AICI Conference Awards Night for achieving her FLC certification in 2015

BY GIULIA SAMMARCO

The first time I heard about AICI was from a dear friend of mine Martha Risco who had been a member of the Association for several years by

this time

As a clinical psychologist with an MBA and a banking and finance background I started working as an image consultant almost by chance Corporations both Peruvian and international began asking me to speak about protocol etiquette and human relationships from a psychological perspective So it was through their books and articles that I first became acquainted with some AICI members

Realizing the importance of certification and talking with Martha I came to the conclusion that becoming an AICI certified member was the best way to grow as a professional image consultant

When we learned that this yearrsquos conference was in Washington DC and AICI would be celebrating

its 25th anniversary it took us less than a minute to decide we had to be a part of it

It turned out to be everything we expected it to be We had a chance to meet and share time and experiences with the BEST image professionals I had the opportunity to sit and talk with masters Carla Mathis AICI CIM Judith Rasband AICI CIM Elaine Stoltz AICI CIM and Dr Joyce Knudsen AICI CIM The AICI principles of being open generous and helping each other in everything we might need definitely proved to be true When I unfortunately became ill during the conference and needed a doctor I was accompanied by one of our Washington DC Chapter hosts chapter president Cindy Ann Peterson AICI FLC These ladies are so caring

Attending this conference opened my eyes to the significant difference we can make in other peoplersquos lives by helping them explore and express all the greatness they have inside

GIULIA SAMMARCO is a senior executive with experience managing institutional and public affairs corporate image communications corporate social responsibility and press strategies at an international level in finance telecom and banking She has a sincere interest in supporting the economic and social development of her homeland Peruacute

AICIrsquoS IMMIE BRAVO AWARD GOES TO NICKOLAY LAMMBY SUSAN HESSELGRAVE AICI FLC

ldquoI am without a doubt the worst-dressed person here tonightrdquo Nevertheless the

young man in denim and sneakers who stepped up to the podium to accept AICIrsquos Image Makers Merit of Industry Excellence Bravo Award (IMMIE Bravo) has made an impact on the development of positive self-image that will be felt by the entire image profession over the decades to come

Nickolay Lamm is a visionary in the truest sense of the word At age 26 he has already built a significant career as an artist and researcher creating thought-provoking vividly designed content on the internet

One of his passions is a concern with the negative impact on self-image of idealized media depictions of the human form That led to his asking this question in 2013 What if fashion dolls were made using standard human body proportions His project was discussed by HuffingtonPost Today Time LA

Times Good Morning America CNN CBS The Daily Beast and even Cosmopolitan

Then people started asking ldquoWhere can we buy these dollsrdquo

The visionary became an inventor On March 5 2014 Lamm launched a crowdfunding campaign to produce dolls with typical human body proportions More than 13621 backers preordered over 19000 dolls A mere eight months later Lammily was born A beautiful ldquoregularrdquo teenager she now has her own fans website and Lammily TV

Lamm says he created ldquoregular Barbierdquo for one reason ldquoI wanted to show that average is beautifulrdquo

SUSAN HESSELGRAVE AICI FLC is an independent image consultant based in Seattle Washington She serves as editor in chief for AICI Global and is currently writing a book exploring the intersection of values identity and personal style

AICI recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of image by persons or companies outside the association with the Image Makers Merit of Industry Excellence Bravo Award (IMMIE Bravo)

ldquoSome interpreted the crowdfunding campaign slogan ldquoAverage is Beautifulrdquo as a message of aspiring to mediocrity or creating a new societal standard However I see lsquoaveragersquo as inclusive of all of us not a standard which excludes I want to show that reality is beautiful that life is beautiful and there should be a line of dolls which reflects this factrdquomdashNICKOLAY LAMM ldquoTHE FUTURE OF LAMMILYrdquo
