About Monochrome
Who We Are
After decades in the financial services industry, we noticed a common gap: many seasoned professionals and executives lacked the style, polish, and communication skills to lead with true impact. Drawing on decades of formal and informal coaching experience, we saw a clear need for the uniquely practical, lived guidance we could offer. Today, we’re on a mission to help our peers become the most confident, compelling versions of themselves.
Our Philosophy
What happens to your career when you don’t feel like the powerful, polished professional you need to be? When you’re unsure how you’re showing up – or worse, when your look or communication style is holding you back – it shows. We help you define where you’re going, and what needs to shift to get you there. We’re not your traditional image consultants – we're your peers. With over four decades of combined experience in high-stakes, high-pressure corporate environments, we’ve been where you are. We understand the culture, the politics, the pressure – and what it takes to rise.
Unlike many image consultants, who focus primarily on personal styling, we take a Total Image approach, incorporating all key aspects of your personal brand: Styling & Grooming, Executive Presence, and Effective Communication.
Our approach blends real talk with real results: honest introspection, a full-picture view of your career, and education-focused sessions that target your growth areas. We bring method, insight, and style – so you can show up with confidence and lead with impact.
The Monochrome Method
We take a full-scale, holistic view of your life and career goals. Before we understand the next steps, we understand YOU. This enables us to customize a matrixed plan that meets your specific needs and aspirations.
This tailored approach helps us craft the best version of you
in four steps.

THE MONOCHROME DIFFERENCE
While many image consultants stop at personal styling, we believe true
transformation comes from the whole picture. Our Total Image approach
integrates style, presence, and communication—empowering you to show
up with authenticity, confidence, and impact in every space you step into.
Styling & Grooming
Communication & Presentation
Styling & Grooming
We help you define a personal style that reflects both your individuality and your professional aspirations. Rather than chasing trends, we teach you how to dress with intention—for your body, your environment, and your goals—so you can confidently curate your own wardrobe moving forward. Our approach ensures your style becomes an authentic extension of your professional identity, empowering you to stand out with polish, purpose, and presence.
Presence Coaching
Communication & Presentation
Styling & Grooming
True presence extends beyond what you wear. It is how you carry yourself, communicate under pressure, and project confidence in every interaction. Through a holistic audit of your personal brand—including nonverbal cues, communication habits, and mindset—we help you align how you are perceived with the impact you want to make. Confidence is the cornerstone of executive presence, and our coaching guides you to unlock the clarity, composure, and influence that distinguish exceptional leaders.
Communication & Presentation
Communication & Presentation
Communication & Presentation
Your ability to communicate with clarity and conviction defines how others perceive your leadership. Whether you are delivering a keynote, leading a meeting, joining a panel, or networking one-on-one, we equip you with tools to speak with authority, engage diverse audiences, and leave a lasting impression. Our coaching elevates your storytelling, presence, and delivery, ensuring that every word and gesture strengthens your credibility and influence.
