WHO AM I
Lisa-Marie Armstrong Rehländer
Personal Branding & Image Expert, Speaker, Mother
Hi, I’m Lisa-Marie and I have always been facinated by people who are able to carry themselves with confidence and authenticity. You know, those ‘other’ people who seem to captivate their audience the second they step into a room. Learning just how to ‘crack the the secret code’ of what gives these people this certain magic about them, took me on a journey that began when I was just a child.
I won’t bore you with a long story about how I became a Personal Branding & Image Consultant . In short, my entire life and career has focused on how to help people find the right formula for showcasing their best selves to the rest of the world. I’ve gathered this precious knowledge from engaging with ALL KINDS of different people on a deeper level (I’m not talkin’ weather here!), my work in fashion, my service to the community, and the experiences of different countries I have lived in and travelled to. In other words, I discoved the ‘secret code’ and began using it on a daily basis.
What is the most important thing that I have learned so far?
That we hold the key to our lives at all times and have the power to change any time we want!
You have been given this gift as well. You too have the power to change anything you want in your life and become the person you have always wanted to become. It’s all a matter of mindset.
My passion is to help others on their personal branding journeys and aide them in building a fascinating brand image that is so present that it can speak without having to utter a single word! I am happy to help you or your organization in one-on-one consultations and programs, group workshops or as a Keynote speaker on the topics of personal branding and self-improvement.
Your Image is the advertisement for your Personal Brand. What are you selling people?
YOU
Every personal brand begins with a personal story. And because your brand is You, this story is about you. Your brand began when you were born and all of the things that you have experienced (good and bad) and learned (no matter what they are) began to form the story of who you are. Throughout the course of our lives we build talents and become good at many things. And then comes the point when we want to use these lessons to start our careers, climb the corporate ladder, make a big career change, find a partner or start a family.
And this is often the point when we feel like we run face-first into a brick wall. The feeling of running into this wall comes in many forms: you can’t seem to get that job promotion, you feel disconnected from your team or peers, you can’t seem to get your foot in the door to that organisation you’ve been wanting into, you can’t seem to find a partner, you feel like the awkward one at the event or you are simply bored and do not know how to begin re-inventing yourself.
So have you ever been in a situation where you’ve felt invisible amongst a group of people- like your message didn’t come across? And you’ve felt REALLY out of place? Why is this? I know, this is such an uncomfortable position to be in: you have tons to offer and are really an awesome person and somehow no one seems to be taking you seriously. Or even noticing you. I know how you feel. I’ve been there before.
There are two obstacles that we are up against: 1) Our own mindset (how we think about ourselves) 2) other’s perception of us in the form of confirmation bias. When our thoughts of ourselves are not in line with how other’s perceive us, the doors of opportunity tend to close. But when we are confident in how we tell our story and communicate this effectively, the impression we make on others is perceived as authentic. In fact, if you are acting from a space of complete authenticity and self-respect, you will never have to worry again as to the way people perceive you.
This is when a personal branding and image consultant can help you. I have the knowledge and years of practice that can help you to redefine your brand and make positive unforgettable impressions, no matter what situation you are in.
Do you have the feeling that you could achieve more, be more convincing and connected with the people you encounter?

Let your image tell the story of who you are in a fascinating way!

How I help
INDIVIDUALS
YOU ARE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET!
The most important part of your brand is KNOWING WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU STAND FOR. This all begins with the process of discovering and refining how you think about yourself. After this, the visual aspect of branding your inner qualities to your outer appearance can begin. To get the most authentic result, keeping an open mind and being honest with yourself are two of the most important variables in making your branding successful. And the third most important? That I’m helping to guide you through the entire process.
Whether it comes to making a first impression or maintaining clients or relationships, Visual Communication is the most important form of communication we have. It’s very hard to get the chance to show people our greatest talents when we don’t ‘speak’ to them on a visual level. Studies show that within seven seconds of meeting someone, we’ve already made our assessments of others as to whether or not we really want to engage in conversation or believe what they have to say. That can make it really hard to get your foot in the door – especially if the door has just been slammed shut before you even said a word.
But it also works the other way around: just because you look great and get a chance to say something doesn’t mean that it will all work out. If you aren’t clear on who you are, what you stand for, and how you want to engage with people, your words will invalidate your visual image.
Because humans are hard wired to form opinions based on their biases, it’s important to brand the visual aspect of yourself with the inner part of yourself. Visual Communication includes our Appearance, Behaviour, Communication, and Digital Footprint- what my colleagues and I call the ABCD’s of Image.
For an sneak-peek into how all this works, sign up for my free 5 day video series on personal branding and image here.
As you can see, it’s hard to brand one and not the other. Yet when both the Inner You and the Visual You are brought together as one, you’ll discover a confidence you never knew and a captivating presence that you didn’t know you had. It’s hard work, but for the most prestigious award: The Best You Ever.
