Testimonials

Working with Sharron-Del and Michele from Absolutely Fabulous Colour & Style has been an absolute delight and of great value to our company. Their presentation provided our Store Managers with easy to understand information about their own style and visual image along with some great insights into choosing garments and outfits that flatter their customers’ body shapes. Their engaging and interactive presentation style ensured that everyone came away from the session feeling energised and motivated. Long standing managers commented that they “hadn’t felt this excited in a long time” and couldn’t wait to share the style advice with their teams and their customers.

Michele Gillett and Sharron-Del Wakely successfully delivered a series of Corporate Image Workshops nationally at TressCox Lawyers. As this topic is perceived to be a sensitive one, a considerable amount of time and thought went into the design and content of the workshops. The workshops were informative and were delivered in an entertaining but professional manner. Michele and Sharron-Del captured the audience’s attention and were able to successfully convey the message to a broad range of staff in a comfortable atmosphere,

NECA NSW engaged Absolutely Fabulous Colour and Style Image Consultancy to do a presentation at our partners lunch during the 2011 NECA Conference. I found Michele and Sharron-Del easy to work with and very professional. The feedback I received from those attending the presentation and lunch was very positive. They particularly enjoyed their interaction with them as well as finding the presentation to be very helpful and entertaining.

SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS

Formal teaching qualifications and extensive experience working with school aged young people, enables us to create dynamic, fun and interesting programs. They make an ideal ‘end of year interest elective’.

Our school programs are designed to:

  • Engage the students with creative and interactive activities.
  • Enhance self-esteem.
  • Develop positive attitudes around body image and personal appearance.

Drawing on our teaching background, Absolutely Fabulous creates workshops and presentations especially tailored to suit the needs of young people emerging into adulthood. Today it is difficult but necessary to cut through the complex marketing and media driven messages targeting our youth. They are often overwhelmed by conflicting information, misinformation and blatant advertising at a time when they are insecure and unsure of their emerging identities.

We cover topics such as:

  • body image,
  • fashion versus style
  • stereotypical dressing
  • understanding subliminal messages
  • dressing for work
  • interview strategies
  • body shapes
  • colour coding

Importantly, our programs are infused with a healthy dose of fun and more serious topics are presented in a light hearted but meaningful way. We cater for active student participation and include questionaires, quizzes and games to deliver the content.

We have prepared programs for:

  • senior primary holiday activities
  • disadvantaged youth seeking employment
  • school gender days
  • vocational education conferences
  • end year interest electives
  • school to work transition programs

Our clients have included:

  • Menai High School
  • Beverly Hills Girls High School
  • St George Girls High School
  • Queenwood Girls School
  • Business Education Networks, Miranda and Ryde.
