In 2002, Image Talks, LLC developed training programs for Dress For Success Oregon to help prepare volunteer shoppers to effectively wardrobe clients. Training was initially delivered in a traditional format relying on a rack of clothes to demonstrate key concepts. Responding to the need to create a more portable, effortless and streamlined approach, Image Talks, LLC created their first 3 PowerPoint presentations. Participants trained with the new materials were more actively engaged in the learning process, showed increased retention of key concepts and had more fun. They completed post training exercises in half the time and exhibited a greater grasp of the material. Preparing for and delivering the training became a more enjoyable process for us as well. These outstanding results cemented a commitment to the use of PowerPoint as an effective, creative training tool. In 2001 Rose and Sandy began documenting their image consulting work by creating a gallery of before and after photographs. The value of the photographs as a resource for effective, persuasive, engaging image management training soon became evident. It was the enthusiastic response of colleagues that encouraged them to make a collection of images available as a resource for other image professionals. Their commitment is to provide images that are fresh, regularly updated and pertinent to today's needs.
