Marlys Arnold

Since 1991, Marlys Arnold has helped hundreds of men, women, and students improve their personal or professional image, either in workshops or private consultations. “I believe that looking good directly relates to our attitudes about ourselves and our careers,” she said. Her goal is to help companies develop an authentic image by teaching individuals to look terrific and feel good about themselves. “It really doesn’t matter how good the outside looks, if you don’t like the inside, you’ll never be truly comfortable with yourself.”

Marlys is also the regional representative for the nationwide Dress Up Thursday campaign and has received certification in image education from the Conselle Institute of Image Management.
