Would you like an image that represents NOT where you've been, BUT where you're going?


Are you .....

* An executive, business owner, coach, speaker, expert, or author who is successful in their field but realize that your current image does not reflect your success?

* Launching a new product, platform, or business and want your story, your visual message, to speak to where you’re going or a new audience?

* Feeling the need to reinvent your personal image and communicate more effectively your business or product’s message, because you know you are not getting the results that you should based on your skill or knowledge?

* AND do you feel completely LOST when it comes to what to wear, what hairstyle is most flattering, and how to apply your makeup?
I'm Visual Brand Strategist and Image Coach Brandi Mitchell, and I believe you DO have a unique visual brand - and your visual brand ties directly in to what you have to offer to the world.  But that signature image is often hidden, represents where you have BEEN and NOT where you're GOING, or functioning at a fraction of what it could actually become.

Great at what you do, but not getting paid what your worth? Maybe it's time to reevaluate your role and create a new story (and opportunities) leading to a life you love

Picture
Sometimes we can feel like although we love what we do, we are not getting paid what we are worth, or we can be completely off course from what are goals are. To get on course, it simply boils down to taking stock of where we are right now, seeing what we really want, and then recalibrating ourselves to READ MORE

If every day is an audition, would you make the cut?

Picture
Auditioning usually consists of an actor studying for a particular role in a production, and the actor gets cast in the role based on how much they literally become the character. The actor has to go before one person or a group of decision-makers, ranging from a casting agent to the director, who then decide if the actor fits the part and can embody the character in the production.

And just as actors can get their big break by landing the role of a lifetime, you can get your big break in the role you play on your job, in your business and on your own personal stage of life. It all starts with how prepared you are to get the role you want. 

Every time we get dressed and walk out the door to go to a meeting, Read More

Has Your Makeup Expired?

Picture
Make-up is made up of ingredients that like food, can expire. They have a 'used by' date and if you don't follow this it may irritate your skin. Especially with cosmetics that go around or on your eyes, it's important to look out for when your make-up expires. Each different item has a different expiry date, and each different item can either just go bad or cause damage to your skin. I'm a bit of a hoarder, so I never throw anything out! Look in your makeup bag, and if you can't remember the last time you bought it or used it, throw it away or recycle it.   Read More

5 Ways Juicing Can Improve Your Health

Picture
I got introduced to juicing over 11 years ago while I was pregnant with my son Kory. At the time, juicing fresh carrot, apple, and ginger every day was the only thing that gave me the energy to work long days on the job!

 My husband saw a commercial that talked about the benefits of juicing and got the idea to invest in a juicer after hearing one woman talk about it alleviating morning sickness.

In fact, years later, I was at the end of a multi-day juice fast when I completed my book The Blended Family Survival Guide! I had such an immense level of mental clarity  and READ MORE

Six ways to becoming excellent in whatever you do

Picture
Recently on facebook, a dear friend and sorority sister of mine , a writer in her own right, shared her experience of meeting Tuskegee Airman, 332nd fighter pilot, Mr. James Pryde.

Here's what she said:

"It was the only time I've ever been left speechless by an overwhelming feeling of respect and gratitude, larger than life itself.   "How can I honor and build on the legacy that you've left for me?" I asked.   He paused, adjusted his glasses and responded, "Every time you determine to do anything, be excellent." READ  MORE

Pursuing the "what if" in your life

Picture
It was over 20 years ago that I experienced my first of many monumental "what if" moments in my life. A junior in college at Florida A&M University, seemingly on the path to completing a degree in Psychology and prepping mentally for Grad school, I would be challenged by a friend to pursue a never considered option; beauty school!

You see it was a very observant friend of mine, whose Mom owned a cosmetology school back in my hometown of Detroit, and had experienced seeing hundreds of aspiring stylists come and go. She had learned how to identify who had "it", and who did not, by merely watching the students while finishing up her homework after school at her Mom's school. This same young friend would change my life forever when she said, "Brandi I know talent when I see it, you're good, and you need to go to school".

"Beauty School?" Not at all a thought that had ever crossed my mind. Business school, yes. Beauty school, never even considered it. But then I had a thought...(how many of you know great things start with a simple thought?) READ MORE HERE

6 Steps to Help You Spring Clean Your Wardrobe

Picture
It's time to get organized!

With spring on its way, find a moment to access and make the most of what you have-in your wardrobe so you can store what you're not wearing, and figure out exactly what you need to add. Here are 6 tips to aid you in being fresh for the Spring!
