Mission Statement:
Our mission is to make accurate, practical, and valuable image information
available in an affordable, enjoyable, and instructional format
empowering people to simplify and manage their lives more effectively;
empowering people and organizations to significantly increase their
performance capability in order to achieve worthwhile purposes through
understanding and applying proven strategies of image management.
Why We Call Ourselves Image Management Professionals:
Judith Rasband, Conselle founder, is generally credited with
coining the phrase, Image Management Professional, which distinguishes
Conselle in the marketplace. This is an honorable and vital identity,
particularly in this day of instant gratification and casualization
in dress, grooming, and etiquette.
What sets us apart?
We do not advise clients to:
—focus on first impressions only.
—copy the dress of your superior.
—throw out anything not worn for 6 months or a year.
—buy into the look of the moment, the latest "must have."
—wear 3-inch heels and only 14K gold jewelry.
—avoid horizontal lines, prints and patterns.
—discover the secret of season.
. . . . . . . .and so on.
We do advocate the art and act of managing, using, or controlling
the use of clothing as a resource. This is a thought process
that requires strategies to be carried out skillfully, carefully.
There are no rote responses to clients. We recognize the impact
clothing has on you, not just on others. We work as a teacher and
a guide for dressing and grooming from the inside out–selecting
and coordinating what you wear according to your values, attitudes,
personality traits, lifestyle, roles, and goals. We invite you
to experience the difference. We make a difference.

Principles of Doing Business:
 Principle
#1
We start with the most accurate and time-tested information
from the fields of art and science, providing a strong foundation
on which to base our strategies, programs and materials. On this
we will not compromise.
Principle
#2
We do everything we can to make our strategies, programs and
materials better. We review, revise, and revamp as needed.
Principle
#3
We strive to create practical, usable concepts, techniques,
and strategies that are easy to understand and apply in everyday
life.
Principle
#4
We teach individuals the art and science of dressing well, in
ways that are authentic, appropriate, and attractive to the self
and to others. We call it dressing from the inside out–image
from the inside out.
Principle
#5
We know the "why" behind every "what" and
"how to". Whatever advice or recommendations are given,
they are never subject to mere opinion, but based on fact.
Principle
#6
Our preference is to work closely with clients so that a bond
of mutual respect and confidence is established over time. This
leads to a pleasant, efficient, and economical relationship.
Principle
#7
We custom-tailor every program and service to the needs of the
individual, the family, and/or organization. Initially, we ask you
lots of questions–more than may seem necessary to you. All
of this is done with one end in mind–to thoroughly understand
you and your situation, over both the short and the long term.
Principle
#8
We seek long-term involvement with our clients. We're not in
this for the short term. We believe that our client's success (and
the contribution we make toward that end) will be our success. We've
been successful in the business for more than 40 years.
Principle
#9
We believe there is no substitute for hard work. We jump in
with both feet and are usually up to our ears in the work. We thrive
on it!
