While trying to figure out my Quarter-Life Crisis I discovered there was no such thing in my life. I have taken the necessary steps to ensure a good future and have been working hard to establish myself as an Image Consultant. Lucky for me, I have done that while still in college! One of the aspects that really works in my favor is my degree in progress, Communication and Rhetorical Studies. Think about it, image consulting is all about instilling confidence in other individuals by guiding them to make the right choices about their personal appearance and forms of non-verbal communication. In our program we are taught the essentials of non-verbal communication and all about communication ideas. So where does this whole Bahama mama fiasco come in...RIGHT NOW!
This past weekend I was working on location in fabulous Nassau, Bahamas with one of my clients. Her name is Anastagia Pierre and she is competing for the title of Miss Bahamas 2010. Where do I come in? I am in charge of her wardrobe selection process, as well as the image she is supposed to convey as an aspiring titleholder. I also train her through the interview process, so that she can communicate effectively. This is where my degree comes into place... and CRS 181: Concepts and Perspectives in Communication Studies (Thank you Prof. Grimes). In this class (which I took Freshman year) I was taught all about the process of communicating and conveying ideas... and lucky for me I had the opportunity to pay it forward. My job as an image consultant for Anastagia really depends on the perspectives of communication... and I absolutely love it!
So while in the Bahamas I didn't go to the beach or to some fancy resort... instead I worked hard on developing my career and making connections that are worth while... never mix work with leisure, because there is a time for everything. However, one of my favorite hobbies is following beauty pageants, so than again... my work is fun! So you can only imagine... meeting Miss Universe was an awesome and fun experience, plus... as an image consultant, I get to go to all these fancy press parties and mix and mingle with the famous... LIFE IS GOOD!
I will always keep you guys posted.
Simply,
Terrance
