Fun, Educational, Inspiring Seminars
and Workshops for Women
Let's face it. It's a jungle out there! It's no wonder so many women are confused, frustrated or just plain overwhelmed when it comes to creating a personal look they love. Dress for success now goes well beyond looking appropriate in the workplace. It's about being true to who you are (no matter where you are… work, home, or social engagements), understanding who you are at a deep level and expressing that through your wardrobe and image choices.
Dress for success means juggling many obstacles:
- the expectation that women should know from birth how to put themselves together,
- too many choices in the stores,
- conflicting advice in magazines and TV,
- societal pressure to conform,
- knowing how to keep up with what's current without appearing too trendy,
- aging concerns,
- body image issues, and
- the natural desire to like the way you look!
Whew! These concerns often make it difficult for women to know what truly looks good on them. So, how do you sort through all that and begin to create a look you love?
That's easy! Invite Ginger to speak! With 20 years experience, she's engaging, entertaining, sensitive to women's concerns about their bodies and the connection to self-esteem, and she provides a wealth of information on how to create a confident look that speaks to who you are not who someone else thinks you should be!
Ginger speaks to:
- professional women's organizations,
- women's social groups,
- conferences, and
- any business where women want that extra boost of confidence and competitive edge in the corporate world.

What clients have to say:
- Fidelity Investments:
"Prior to my experiences with Ginger, I thought 'image consulting' would mean a loss of identity. Nothing can be further from the truth. In fact, I now have more identity within my corporate world because I choose to look my best. I am thrilled with the results of her consultations and encourage all my business associates to seek out her services. We even hired Ginger for our entire Corporate Real Estate group to define 'business casual.' Thank you, Ginger!"
—Jennifer W. Oliver, Sr. Director of Corporate Real Estate Planning, Fidelity Investments
- Bentley College

—Nicole Fernandez, Assistant Director, Office of Alumni Relations, Bentley College
- Andover Bank
"Excellent program at Andover Bank. As the Sales Officer, I always like to make a presence at training sessions so that I hear the information first hand. Your class had just the right amount of information as well as comfort level with all the members of the group. Your suggestions were terrific, and the before and after excerpts were full of impact. In my travels throughout the bank branches, I hear individuals remarking on how great it was."
—Brenda Tecce, Sales Officer, Andover Bank
- Andover Bank
"Our front line tellers and customer service representatives participated in a 2 hour workshop that highlighted the importance of professional attire, color, and hairstyle. Ginger's presentation was very interactive and she really made our employees feel comfortable asking questions. She also was wonderful at addressing the concerns of our younger employees. In particular, 'How to dress business-like without selecting clothes that make younger employees feel as if they are dressed like 'middle aged' women.' When Ginger finished her presentation, our employees had a much better understanding of what to shop for, where to shop, and how to determine what looks good on them. Our employees who attended Ginger's session have definitely polished their appearance."
—Sandy Saltamartini, Assistant Vice President/Manager of Training & Development, Andover Bank
- International Association of Administrative Professionals
"As a woman in the workplace, I found your seminar to be invaluable. In a surprisingly short amount of time, you provided me with rules and recommendations that helped me tremendously. Now, with the lessons you shared, clothing not only looks better on me, but I have a wardrobe and accessories that give me a feeling of confidence and security. Best of all, your tips inspired me to experiment on my own. The lessons truly enhanced the way I look at myself - and my new-found confidence has allowed others to see me differently, too! I truly feel and look my absolute best. Thank you!"
—Nicole Palombo, Nicole Palombo CPS/CAP, Certification Chair, IAAP Greater Boston Chapter
Individual “Dress for Success” for Corporate Clients:
Whether it's fair or not, politically incorrect or not, the fact remains that how we present ourselves can affect job offers, promotions and consideration for advancement. Being aware of this is critical if you're looking to move up the corporate ladder.
Knowledge is power! When designing a professional image, there are a number of critical components to consider. All of these are equally important in creating a successful look that enhances the image of the individual and reflects well on the company.
Image concerns are rarely the result of defiant behavior (particularly in senior staff members). They are more likely the product of limited time, knowledge, or interest in any aspect of image. The employee is typically not aware of how adversely her image is affecting her career or, if she is, she doesn't know how to change it. Support and guidance are often all that is needed.
That's where Total Image Consultants comes in. By focusing on the areas that need attention, we create a look that supports the individual and meets the needs of the company as well. This is not an overnight makeover. My goal, whenever possible, is to help the client understand how to implement and achieve these results over time by herself. It's a win-win!
The areas we cover are:
- Initial assessment consultation
- Choosing flattering and appropriate colors to wear
- Makeup application and instruction
- Hair cut, color and/or styling help, if needed
- Current wardrobe assessment
- Wardrobe shopping
Ideally, this involves approximately 14 hours of consulting. All services and fees are explained in detail on the “services” page.
For best results, I highly recommend doing a follow up wardrobe assessment and shopping the following season to be sure the acquired image is maintained. This usually involves between 5 and 7 hours of consulting.
Please note that all of this can be custom designed to meet your needs.
