“I empower through alignment, not performance.
I create from inspiration, not obligation.
I am not just a leader—I am a guide, a mirror, and a movement.”
This is the essence of how I lead—and how I teach personal stylists to lead in their own businesses. Because today, being a stylist is about far more than just dressing people well. It’s about helping clients show up as the most aligned, empowered, and expressed version of themselves.
And that begins with you.
If you want to help your clients gain clarity, confidence, and visibility—you need to lead yourself first. You need to understand your natural strengths, energy, values, and presence.
That’s why I created the Venus Image Code.
It’s not just a style personality system—it’s a roadmap to understanding your unique leadership style and how it directly influences your personal style, brand identity, and business impact.

Your leadership energy isn’t just about how you run a team or a business. It’s about how you show up—in your content, in your outfits, in your conversations, and in the energy you bring to every room (online or in person).
When your leadership style is aligned with your wardrobe and your branding, you become magnetic. Your clients trust you more. You trust yourself more.
But when you’re confused about how you want to lead, your style choices often reflect that confusion:
✖️ Too many looks that don’t feel quite right
✖️ A brand that doesn’t reflect your true essence
✖️ Clients who feel disconnected or don’t quite “get” you
That’s why understanding your own leadership archetype first is absolutely key. Once you’re grounded in your natural expression, everything else falls into place.

Learn how to grow your styling business the right way using the latest marketing and sales information to secure more paid bookings.
Inside the Venus Image Code, we explore six core leadership archetypes that reveal how your natural energy shows up in style, branding, and communication.
Each archetype has its own strengths, challenges, and energetic frequency. And while I don’t publicly share the exact astrology behind each one (that’s reserved for inside the program), I want to give you a flavour of how different leadership energies might manifest:
This archetype leads with boldness and confidence. They’re here to start movements, take action, and light the fire. Their presence is electric, and their style tends to reflect that—structured, clear, and designed to make an impact. Their brand is often direct, bold, and forward-thinking.
But... without alignment, they can veer into burnout or feel pressure to always perform.
Calm, composed, and dependable—this leader creates safety and stability for others. They don’t rush. They don’t shout. Their power is felt in their presence. Their style is elegant, tactile, and timeless. Their brand feels like a breath of fresh air.
Without clarity, though, they can become overly cautious or stuck in routines that no longer serve them.
Charismatic and curious, this leader brings energy to every conversation. They connect quickly and inspire easily. Their style is vibrant, flexible, and playful. Their brand thrives on storytelling, conversation, and creating community.
Their challenge? Staying focused and consistent in their message and image.
Deeply intuitive and emotionally intelligent, this archetype leads through compassion and care. They don’t just give advice—they hold space for transformation. Their style is soft, flowing, and full of feeling. Their brand is personal, intimate, and deeply resonant.
However, they often need help setting boundaries and being seen for their wisdom, not just their warmth.
This archetype is magnetic by nature. They shine. They inspire. They don’t hide. Their presence is powerful and their style is often dramatic, luxurious, or eye-catching. Their brand? Bold. Beautiful. Confident.
But beware: when ungrounded, this energy can tip into ego-driven decisions or insecurity masked by performance.
Focused, thoughtful, and values-driven—this leader creates through structure and intentionality. They don’t chase trends. They make things work. Their style is minimal, polished, and exact. Their brand communicates clarity, trust, and authority.
The trap? Perfectionism and analysis paralysis.
If you're looking to explore a career as a personal stylist, I recommend a few resources to get stared. First sign up for my weekly newsletters here. Next, I recommend you get yourself over to facebook and join my community of personal stylists over there. I provide lots of training and free resources there too. Finally, I invite you to drop me an email at aileen@laneimageconsultants.com and let's start a conversation about the next best steps for you.
Most people aren’t just one of these—they’re a blend. And understanding your unique combination is where the real power lies.
In the Venus Image Code, we look at the deeper blueprint of who you are—your energetic makeup, your natural magnetism, your emotional tone—and how to embody that through your style and brand.
Because when your wardrobe and visuals match your inner world, you don’t have to try so hard.
People just get you.
You move from performance to presence.
Let's have a look at how its typically done—most traditional style personality systems start with this:
“Send me photos of clothes you like.”
But here’s the problem: most clients (and even stylists) are dressing from confusion, not clarity.
They’re influenced by trends, old identities, what they think they “should” wear, or what someone else told them looks good.
That’s why my system flips the script.
We don’t start with clothes.
We start with you.
We look at:
Then—and only then—we translate that into your style personality, wardrobe direction, and brand identity.
The stylist who understands her own energy, brand essence, and leadership tone will build a business that reflects that alignment—and attracts the right people with ease.
The stylist who embodies her archetype becomes magnetic. She doesn’t just look the part—she lives it. She leads from truth, not pressure.
That’s what I want for you. That’s what I want you to offer your clients.
Inside the Venus Image Code Styling Program, I’ll teach you how to decode a client’s unique energetic blueprint and guide them to clarity in:
But we don’t start with them. We start with you.
You’ll discover your own blend first—so that you lead with alignment, trust your voice, and become the kind of stylist who transforms lives, not just outfits.
