WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT our Professional Development & Soft Skills Training

  • Working with Michelle is definitely an investment, but a good one.  She teaches you all about what colors look good on you, what works for your body type down to the prints and patterns that you should wear and what you project.  Plus, she teaches you about your style personality and the degrees of dress in corporate environments.  This was during our 2-hour Personal Style Analysis. However, the reason why I continue to work with her, is because I only get compliments when I’m wearing the outfits that SHE picks. It’s been 3 years since my first consultation with her and I scheduled a follow-up half-day personal shopping session with her because who doesn’t like compliments? I think I’ll schedule a virtual closet edit with her next.

  • Michelle is really great with colors. I definitely recommend getting a personal style analysis with her to review your colors. In fact she’s so good with color she help me defined the color scheme of my home, the color scheme of my business brand identity, as well as my best colors for my own personal brand. She put colors together in my wardrobe that I would’ve never put together, but it looks great! Plus I engaged her to create a custom mix and match color chart for my wardrobe.  Definitely recommend working with her.

  • Going through an online closet edit and virtual wardrobe styling session with Michelle was cathartic. She helped decide which items I should release to simplify my wardrobe and my life.  She created new outfits in my closet that I would have never thought of. Plus she even coached me on how to release my husband…I had a $2000 budget for clothes shopping, however we only spent $1350. Michelle was amazing about selecting stylish clothes that made me look current and put together within my budget.  At 50 I’m starting a new phase of my life and I feel great. Thanks so much, Michelle.

  • Michelle has been working with me since the pandemic through their virtual styling service. Since we couldn’t travel to New York at the time it was easier just to work with her through the Global Image Group shop, ship, style method. She’s been great about advising me on how to upgrade my style for on and off camera occasions – and generally just educating me on style and how to develop my own style. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to work with someone who is really knowledgeable about fashion, professional yet fun to work with. It will be one of the best investments you make in yourself. She knows her own client’s style so well that she already knows what’s in your wardrobe without sending you pictures. Now that’s impressive.

  • I’m a Corporate VP of a large medical device corporation and a working mother of 5 kids.  I don’t have time to shop and I hate shopping. I started working with Michelle T. Sterling over 10 plus years ago in San Francisco.  At the time I was living in Napa Valley so rather than have her come out to my home, I packed up my entire wardrobe and met her in her office. After 1 hour, she basically thought it was best for me to discard 80% of my wardrobe and start fresh for my role and the image I wanted to project. I agreed. Working with her to rebuild my wardrobe was easy, efficient, and effective. She makes shopping seem simple and fun. Read More…

  • I’ve been working with Michelle T. Sterling for over the last 10 years and I definitely plan on continuing to work with her because she’s an expert in men’s fashion and style. I had my first full-day consultation with her 10 years ago in L.A and I continued to wear the things she selected for me for the next 8 years. During those 8 years, I would try to shop online myself with no luck. Wasting hours and hours searching for items that didn’t turn out to be the right color, fit, or quality that I wanted.  Read More…
