It was one of the most useful trainings I’ve ever had. I was so excited to know all the things that we are able to do by
ourselves and generate incredible results in social media. All the tools that were presented are very easy to handle and free! She is able to teach everyone,
even out of the Image Consulting world. I would definitely recommend her to friends. She is very professional
and friendly, I felt very comfortable with her. I would day after day be
listening to what she has to say! She is inspiring. This training is totally worth
the investment. !FERNANDA LUCHESI

We had the pleasure of meeting Sylvie when she consulted with us on our
own business image and direction in the Fall of 2013. We also recently
attended Sylvie's workshop on Social Media Training for Image Consultants and found her instruction to be clear, concise, easy to understand, relatable
and very well organized. Her suggestions were effective and very applicable. Sylvie is one of the most
professional, knowledgeable, passionate and inspiring speakers with
whom we've had the pleasure of working. Her seminar was most helpful
and enjoyable. !REBECCA KLEIN & MARTINA
