Executive Coaching

Corporate Testimonials
“Sarah possesses a wealth of knowledge on executive presence topics and was able to assist us in our corporate rebranding strategy. She delivered a powerful message on visual impact, networking and non-verbal communications skills in an engaging manner. Our international sales force left the seminar inspired and ready to practice her visual and non-verbal techniques to build credibility. As a result of Sarah’s workshop we have noticed our team stepping up their professional image and improved client relationships. I highly recommend Sarah and hope to have her return again soon to assist us in strengthening our corporate brand presence”.
Brian Wholley – VP Global Sales, Genesis Biosciences
“Sarah Hathorn designed two international webinars for Teradata, covering how to elevate your professional presence, and corporate branding in your overall image to include appearance, behavior and communication skills. Sarah’s style and delivery was excellent. She made the presentation interactive and provided valuable content. The participants loved the question and answer time to solicit specific branding input from Sarah, which demonstrated her expertise. She created a webinar that was not only information-oriented, but the polling questions kept the audience engaged. I definitely recommend Sarah to international organizations who wish to offer professional development courses on image and brand management.”
Susan Baxley - Director of Community Relations, Teradata Corporation
“Sarah Hathorn, President of Illustra Image Consulting, gave a recent workshop at Home Depot for our Women’s Affinity group. I was impressed with how she engaged the audience in delivering the material and I found her to be very relevant and focused on business messaging through your professional image. She gave quite a few great examples (from photos and brave audience participants) to make her points. It was evident that she had done her research on our organization in advance and her homework paid off. Bottom line – if you are looking for an event – I would highly recommend Sarah.”
