Presence With A Purpose™

Client Testimonials

The image consultation exceeded my expectations. I wanted a complete makeover and to understand myself better, which I now do. I discovered lots of things about myself I never knew.

You covered absolutely everything I wanted to know: color, proportion, shape, clothing, etc. Then you gave me suggestions for improvement. I am a much more aware shopper now. You were very thorough, knowledgeable and comprehensive and the materials you gave me were very professionally prepared. I will be very likely to recommend Élan Image Management to others—I feel everyone needs an image consultation.

When I decided to reach out to someone to help me improve my professional image, I truly got more than I bargained for with Elan Image Management. Not only did I find out what looks best on me from the outside, I also discovered that I had so much on the inside that I was able bring out through the process, which then made my outside (image) more effective, credible and authentic. People have definitely noticed the difference in me and I really do feel the difference too. I came away from the consultation feeling so good and prepared for anything.

Every person is different, and that is exactly how I was treated—like the unique individual I am with advice customized to me. The time was well spent on who I am and what I wanted to achieve and HOW to achieve them, with guidance and advice tailored to me and my professional and social goals.

So, if you are ready to do the work and listen to the experts, you are ready for Elan Image Management. It's a great experience. I will be returning for more!!

The consultation covered a wide range of topics through pre-meeting exercises covering clothing needs, perceptions of self image and messages this communicates, personal style preferences etc. Most importantly, these topics forces the participant to consider what their personal style is, what style they are moving towards and what they value. The preparation forms the groundwork for an intensely informative session with Natalie.

Natalie equips her clients to make informative decisions about the garments they wear that fit their body shape best. I understand my body better, and can exercise discretion in terms of what garments/colors/accessories compliments my figure and lifestyle. In addition to helping me set important image priorities, the session exposed me to different ways of thinking and reasoning about my personal/professional style. I gained insight into how to dress more femininely yet professionally.

At the end, the image statement was outstanding as it encapsulated how I want to and will articulate myself. Most importantly I came away with a solid understanding of what steps to take to get to my goals and I just have more confidence to make wise decisions.

Natalie just has a great personality and working with her was just a pleasure. She was a great listener and understood where I was coming from and through that she suggested items that complimented me. The charts and materials were very helpful. I can use the charts to find the right piece of clothing since I have a picture of it. I learned SO MUCH that I always knew but did not know how to address. I am recommending Elan’s services to all my good girlfriends who need help with their image. Continue doing what you are doing!

I was impressed with Natalie’s professionalism and obvious knowledge of her craft. I wanted to find a way to reduce my frustration when shopping for clothing. Natalie did a good job of explaining the reasons why some of the clothing choices I have been making were not the most flattering choices I could have made. She allowed me to pass by many pieces of clothing that I would have spent time trying on previously. I valued everything in our consultation.

I was very impressed with Natalie in general. Natalie gave me a great descriptions of what to expect before the consultation and I received what she promised. She is very personable and enthusiastic. Natalie made excellent recommendations to assist me in improving my personal and professional image. I was impressed with the techniques that she used in assessing my personal style and diagnosing my challenges and the ease at which she was able to provide workable solutions.

Natalie is excellent. She knows her stuff and communicates it very well. I highly recommend her services and hope to use her consulting services again in the future.

Vice President, Financial Services

Richmond, Virginia

It has been amazing. Everyone on the job was very impressed. My current supervisor was speechless. Some people, who I had not seen for a while, walked by and then doubled back to give me a “thumbs up”. My former supervisor (vice-president on campus), is a tall, slender fashionista and former nun of 27 years, says she “absolutely loves it” and wanted to know “who did this?” I told her all about you and she wanted to know the whole story. Then she asked if I could stop by her office (2 blocks away) because she wanted to do a special reveal there and sent out this email to the ladies in her area “Be sure to see Alvette when she comes by at 1:00 today for her OEA 'reveal.' She has a great story of her makeover!” Several of the directors here have asked for your information as well.

I received “I love your look” comments from people I pass on the street and ride the elevator with. I tell them my image consultant showed me how and immediately they want to know more and say this is something they would definitely like to do for themselves.

I wanted to let you know that I bought a "tomato" colored cardigan (of course you know I'm semi color blind so you may call it something different) and got RAVE reviews. People were like, "that looks so fantastic on you!" I knew it was simply because you helped me find what colors work best for me!

I just want to thank you so much for the outstanding styling/image consulting service you provided for my recent photo shoot. I must say that, initially, I did not think I needed input on pulling together outfits for my photo shoot since I, too, have a delicious passion for fashion. Then I thought --that I'm getting my hair, my nails and my makeup done for the shoot. Why not pay a professional who has knowledge and an eye for the correct color and style -- to assist me with presenting my best stylish self to the world by way of the Internet.

It was fantastic! In addition to having a great time with you sorting through my closet and drawers, I had so much fun at the photo shoot giving the different looks you suggested --- from professional to playful. The pictures look great! And guess what??? The red and black outfit that I was so resistant about turned out to be my favorite after all. Thank you again. I will tell the world about Élan!

I am so excited!! I got the color swatches you prepared for me and they are wonderful!! I used them last week while shopping and even the sales clerks were wowed! Thank you for all of your efforts in putting this together for me. I am thrilled with the color swatches and with all of your professional assistance and ideas. I have given several of your cards out already so don’t be surprised if you hear from one or more of my friends. Your biggest fan!

I cannot thank you enough. Your session has served as an eye opener and will help me make better choices later. For the past 4 days I’ve been wearing new clothes and new style of shawl. Every day I get compliments; people say I look slimmer and taller. I enjoy it. I feel so good and delighted with my changes. The last time I felt good about my look must have been many, many years ago. I’m so happy with these changes and the remarks that I get. Thanks a lot for your advice and motivation. I cannot describe to you how these new images make me feel. Now, I think I’m more confident to dress up. I feel I can go shopping and I have a clearer understanding of what accessories can do for my image.

I hired Natalie as my image consultant. I truly had no idea what to expect. I spent a full day with her learning about how to dress. She went over colors, (I was only wearing black), as well as the style and fit that complimented my figure the best. Armed with all of this wonderful information I went shopping for an upcoming business trip.

At the business conference people who I had previously met did not even recognize me. They did not believe I was the same person they had met only 3 months before. I received untold compliments on how great I looked. Best of all I had a new confidence. I felt more radiant, attractive and outgoing.

Thank you Natalie. For your advice and true desire to see me succeed in my new life and adventures.

Thank you so much for doing what you do! On Saturday I sat by some women in class who were debating about calling you. I felt it a privilege to be able to brag about your services. I had a personal testimony that I took what you had taught, wore a teal color shirt from my chart with the right bra size and had so many compliments on something I hadn't worn in years. I promise you that I will use what you have taught me. I have told everyone NOT to let me buy anything BROWN (smile). Again I said thank you, thank you, thank you.

I did not realize that my image assessment and recommendations would incorporate my own personality so much! The consultation was very thorough and I felt Natalie really took her time to get to know what she could about me and my lifestyle. The consult covered more details than I expected and was really tailored to my needs. Natalie is personable, down to earth, practical and attentive. I am working my way down my “action items” and definitely have a solid foundation from which to continue to refine my image. The whole experience was very positive for me.

I’m passing your site onto friends and family. I ordered a part of BKEs from the Buckle that I found on Zafu and honest-to-God they are best fitting jeans I’ve ever worn. I wore them out with friends on Friday night and got three compliments. I never would have picked them out in the store (I would have thought that brand was too young looking for me) but somehow they work. I’m a true believer of Zafu (and I’ve always been a believer of Natalie!).

I’ve known Natalie for the past 10 years and we immediately connected. She has a unique skill of being able to see the whole picture while also appreciating the details.

Personally, I have relied on Natalie because I respect her opinion and admire her insight. She takes an analytical, consultative approach in all that she does. She listens to her clients but also has the confidence to tell them when she sees a different approach. She is responsive, client-focused and is uncompromising in her standards. You can count on Natalie to give you the attention you deserve while providing her unique brand of guidance.

I have known Natalie Jobity on a personal level for over 8 years and can attest to her appreciation for fashion and her capability to keep abreast of what is in vogue. Natalie has a keen sense of her own personal style. So, I decided to take a chance and see how her interpretation of style would work on me.

I was pleased with my fashion consultation and found that Natalie was equally capable of translating my own self-image into a style that was more fashionably conscious, but still maintained my sense of my own individuality. She inspired me to try outfits that I never before anticipated would look good on me and I still find myself exploring different styles as a result of Natalie's initial consultation over two years ago.

I highly recommend Natalie Jobity as an image consultant. She made me feel very comfortable during the consultation. She was very insightful, personable and professional. She is passionate and excited about letting people's best selves show through their appearance. She honed in on my personal style and image and made recommendations for accessories that complimented the shape of my face and that I felt comfortable wearing. Moreover, she broadened the range of blouses and shirts I am able to wear by showing me what styles compliment my figure.

I am very happy with the services she provided and I recommend her highly. I plan on working with Natalie again in the near future.

Traci Nagy

Research Director

New York, New York

Natalie, at Élan Image Management, has been working with me since July of 2004. Since that time, I have seen many radical, positive, changes in my personal appearance and fashion sense. Because of the intrinsic dullness of my job, I had the tendency to not pay much attention to my personal style. As long as my clothes were properly laundered, my ties were looped correctly, and my shoes were polished; I was happy. My life was one continuous cycle of blue and white shirts and bland ties. This total lack of personality in my work dress, also manifested itself in unproductive ways in my personal, non-work attire. My personal sense of style was slowly been leached out of me, one outfit at a time. I had to make a change so I decided to seek the help of an image consultant.

After my initial consultation with Natalie and our subsequent shopping trips; my personal style and wardrobe options have improved remarkably. With Natalie’s help I am able to stretch beyond my comfort zone, and choose clothing that is now more representative of who I am, and the image that I want to show to the world (professionally and on also personal level). I am very pleased with the process and outcome and happy I invested the time and money to enhance my image using Élan Image Management’s services.
