Any training that does not take into account the emotions, thought process and body, is incomplete. Image Coaching is so much more than what you wear.
I'm not just a trainer, I am an active Image Coach and am incredibly passionate about what I do. This gives me a huge insight into the world of image, the needs & wants of clients' today.

And so much more besides
When I was a little girl I wanted to be a famous ballerina (well it’s was every girls dream, before X factor &
I then discovered swimming, talk about a fish in water I was never out of it! I became very good at it and developed a skill for long distance events, reeling in my fellow competitors was what I particularly enjoyed even if I consistently gave my coach a coronary in every competition, doing so. I learnt about how mindset can affect your performance and when I didn’t achieve the result I wanted in an event then I needed to change how I saw failure, putting it in the right context not beating myself up. I would not appreciate until much later in life how having the ability to control my mindset would help me as I faced a massive challenge.
On the 31st December 1990 at 1.45pm my life changed forever when I was involved in a serious, life changing car accident. Having to learn to live with those injuries was a major challenge; for five years it was a constant round of consultants, scans, medication, physio’s, a roller coaster of emotions. This is where my positive mindset kicked in, people live with much worse than me, and I could and would cope. I decided that my injuries would fit into my life, not the other way around.
Fast forward many years and in that time I opened my day nursery which I absolutely loved. I increased the capacity of the nursery 3 times which involved moving premises, employing more staff (24) which was pretty scary but hey I survived the experiences and I was ready for each change in level. Feeling a little apprehensive (okay a lot sometimes) is a good thing because it means you are not going in feeling complacent. But I was ready to grow with my business and when you step up it is a fantastic experience.
Eventually that business was sold as I was truly ready for something new. I returned to being employed as an area manager but within weeks was called into my boss’s office and was made redundant simply because my joining the company had put a huge financial strain on his business. The warning signs were there from the start but it hit me hard but after a short holiday to get over it I dusted myself down and joined the retail management world, a very different experience. I loved working in retail and gained valuable experience in how it all works but alas I realised that working for others wasn’t a right ‘fit’ for me. I need freedom to do my own thing and I’m the best boss in the world to work for.
So I entered the world of Image Consultancy in 2002 and this is the best career move I have ever made. I’m often asked why I didn’t enter it sooner but my answer is simple, I wasn’t ready for it. But I do so much more than image. Image is so much more than what you wear and my business has changed from level to level, when I was ready for the next step up. It is so exciting as your business evolves, where you start is just a starting point, when you tap into your intuition and are guided by it your business fully explodes into life.
I've also realised that most Image Consultants live in a very restricted world as they are surrounded by 'limited visionaries' in other words people whose thinking is traditional which boxes you in. I've always known that I came into the world of image consulting to transform it; now when that thought first came into my head I thought what a stupid thing to think, but it did make me think. Now some of you may find this spooky....I was doing the ironing one day and singing rather badly to the radio (as you do) when suddenly I received the following message...how would you like to have your own training company answerable to no-one? Yes please I replied how can I do I do that? I immediately abandoned the ironing and got to work, I was so inspired. Three months later I had my first trainee. WOW I was blown away.
Now I realised that I have a deep connection to my intuition & Team Sue as I call it. I've come to realise that if I connect with my inner core and engage Team Sue I receive guidance on where I should be headed and it enables me to connect at a deep level with my ideal clients and to guide them in their new businesses.
I suppose I better explain who Team Sue is. A few years ago I watched the film the secret which at the time was very popular; now there are cynical people who think this concept is a load of rubbish but for me that way of thinking resonates with me and it has opened up the world for me. If I tap into my inner source and Team Sue (who are actually my beloved grandparents) I am guided to where I need to be for me. I am truely amazed at how they inspire me to act on the ideas presented. At times the ideas seemed daunting but I would just say, how can I do that and the way is shown.
Now what's important here is that every idea presented must be acted on, you are never given an idea that wouldn't work for you. This is a different way of thinking and I love it. I've never liked being boxed in and I found that many of the tradtional methods of consulting and training keep you boxed in, meaning you have a limited business and that isn't for me. I want a limitless business doing the things that are right for me.
Are you a limited or limitless person? How do you want your business to be limited or lots of opportunities?
So if my way of thinking and training resonates with you and you’re ready, lets connect and get your new business exploding too in the way which is a right ‘fit’ for you.
We train you to work with clients from the inside out. Too much emphasis is put on fitting clients into boxes, it's where they should be history has stated. We believe that is an incorrect concept that is well past its sell by date; we concentrate on getting to your clients' inner thoughts & feelings the ones that block them from moving forward. We teach you to develop your skills using our techniques which will enable you to do so. It is this whole wrap around approach to styling clients that we believe in. On a personal note I know how it feels to start a business in the image industry; I know how fears can set in that block you and I teach you ways to unblock those fears; I understand how thoughts such as...will the phone ever ring, will anyone book a consultation with me. This is why I offer on-going mentoring & support, a supporting hand which I feel is as essential as the training itself.
The course is personally delivered by Sue Cocks, the founder and chief stylist at the QCIC Academy. As a practising image coach Sue understands what clients are looking for and it gives her great in-depth knowledge & expertise into the industry.
All courses are interactive thereby giving you the best learning experience. We take you out into the real world for practical assignments, we do not believe in the concept of just classroom based training.
The courses are broken down into manageable sizes so that you are not overloaded.
Mentoring & support is genuinely given following the training.
You are invited to attend masterclass teleseminars/webinars with industry leading professionals from time to time to add/build on your expertise.

Trainees comments
I trained with Sue 2009-2010 The training was fun and informative and Sue was very willing to share her skills and experience. On our last day things came together and it has given me confidence to move forward and set up my own business. The fact that Sue is prepared to continue to offer support and advice is invaluable.
Thanks very much Sue!

I decided to call Sue and have a chat about my training needs and I'm so glad that I did. I felt comfortable with her right away and what was really great was that she just listened, answered my questions and there was no pushy sales spiel. Having spoken to several companies I was very surprised at how pushy most of them are and I felt that they just wanted bums on seats, they weren't interested in me, just my money. Sue gave me some things to think over which really helped me to make my decision to train with her. The training is a great mix of interactive and theory, the perfect balance. Her systems are so easy to learn and understand and how Sue develops your thinking about you and your business is so refreshing. The contemporary approach was just the method I was looking for. As a trainer Sue is wonderful, an inspiration to everyone, and a constant source in creative energy. (Izzy)
I am not an intimidating pushy saleswoman but a very helpful, happy to talk through your training options with no obligation whatsoever on either side. Call me on 0845 408 1664 with your questions or send an email.
