BUILDING SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMS AND CURRICULUM

ICBI’s training programs bring a structured, scientific approach to the art of Image Consulting, Soft Skills Training, In-Store Styling, and Personal Shopping. The need for such an approach arose from the realization that while clients seek a cohesive strategy to enhance their image, communication, and personal style, traditional solutions were often fragmented, time-consuming, and ineffective.

To bridge this gap, ICBI built its comprehensive curriculum by integrating over 40 years of international expertise from Judith Rasband, a Certified Image Master and one of just ten in the world, along with the extensive technical expertise of Suman Agarwal, the most senior Image Consultant in the Indian Subcontinent. Additionally, the high-profile service industry experience of Rakesh Agarwal ensures real-world application and business impact.

This collaboration led to the creation of Business, Professional, and Certificate series programs in Image Consulting, Soft Skills Training, In-Store Styling, and Personal Shopping, equipping individuals with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to build confidence, enhance communication, and create powerful first impressions while delivering impactful client experiences.

UNIQUE BUSINESS APPROACH

ICBI also undertook the unique approach of offering extensive business enablement support that includes business training, updated training and consulting material, a specialized search engine listing for Image Consultants and Soft Skills Trainers, a backend lead management system, and ongoing comprehensive business coaching. This approach has empowered ICBI-trained professionals to establish highly respected Image Consulting and Soft Skills Training businesses. In the process, ICBI has opened up a world of opportunities for aspiring consultants, making its programs the most sought-after in the industry.

ICBI is proud to share that many of its Image Consultants and Soft Skills Trainers have gone on to become leading corporate, sales, retail, and personal consultants, helping individuals and organizations enhance their personal, professional, and social lives. ICBI remains committed to continuously evolving its programs and setting new benchmarks for excellence in Image Consulting and Soft Skills Training.
