(April 14, 2010) Human Factor International Managing Director and Executive Coach Jeffrey Jones achieved his First Level Certification from the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) on March 2, 2010 as part of HFI's continued commitment to provide clients with access to global best-practices and industry thought-leaders in executive and organizational development. HFI incorporates Image & Personal Branding into client work as part of its comprehensive approach to coaching executives. Jeffrey is a coach on the faculty of both the London Image Institute and Academy of Image Mastery, where he coaches graduates from the program around business building and entrepreneurship. He is a member of the AICI Hong Kong Chapter and a Pioneer Gold Circle sponsor to the AICI South Asia - Singapore Chapter. HFI has a number of Image & Personal Branding consultants on its global team.
Jeffrey initiated the Global Coaching Roundtable Series which is bringing together Executive Coaches and Image Consultants in over 15 countries around the globe in order to facilitate business opportunities for collaboration across the two disciplines.
According to the AICI website: "When you achieve AICI First Level Certification (AICI FLC), you can use the letters AICI FLC after your name. This shows clients, colleagues and the media that you have achieved a competent level of training and knowledge in the image field and that you keep abreast of current thinking and technical knowledge. AICI confers AICI First Level Certification on those who successfully pass the AICI FLC exam and complete the application process. The AICI Core Competencies identify the knowledge, skills abilities and behaviors required for success as an image consultant. The approach you take to mastering these competencies depends upon your preference. Some image consultants study independently, while others work with a trainer or take a course. Please refer to the AICI FLC Study Guide to know which competencies will be tested with the AICI FLC Exam."
The site continues: "The Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) is the leading and largest professional association of personal and corporate image consultants worldwide. A non-profit organization, AICI is dedicated to advancing the level of professionalism and enhancing the recognition of image consultants.
