Laurel Herman
Positive Presence


Laurel Herman, is our image and impact consultant in London and a valued member
of the ASC global team.  She started her career by training as a statistician before
marrying and starting a family.  While still at home with the family, she inadvertently
created Concept Shopping – a groundbreaking way for discerning women to shop and
this soon became very successful with a high-profile client base.

Laurel developed a great interest in all the issues surrounding Impact and Influence.  
With many years of in-depth experience at a one-to-one level, and having honed her
own intuitive skills, she went on to create Positive Presence.  This is a specialist
consultancy that brings a unique sensitive and “intelligent” approach to image
consultancy. Positive Presence concentrates on appropriate Impact Optimisation -
appropriate to personal status, age, personality, lifestyle, physical
characteristics…and aspirations. Positive Presence works with all types of
organisations and private individuals, including those at the highest levels in the
professional and business sector.  

Clients include
Linklaters & Alliance, Barclays Bank, HSBC, IBM, PwC, Ernst &
Young, Pfizer plc, London Business School, HM Treasury, Procter & Gamble and
Deloitte.

When Laurel’s own 27-year marriage ended, she became more and more aware of
the extent of divorce today and of all its manifestations – emotional, legal, social,
practical and motivational.  Having recovered, her new-found knowledge and
experience led her to create another business that would help others to get through
and build a new positive life.  Union is a membership organisation which deals with all
the problems and challenges for those who find themselves single-again.   A
groundbreaking concept, extremely ambitious in its breadth, Union has just launched
in London and the South East and will ultimately become a national brand.

Recognised as an objective, informed expert on all aspects of Personal and Business
Image, Style and Impact, and as a member of the Professional Speakers Association,
Laurel is invited to address audiences regularly on these and other related topics with
which she has personal interest such as Mid-life, Life Changes and Divorce.

Laurel also frequently appears on radio and TV and works together with the press on
various projects.

The second edition of Laurel’s book for the Chartered Management Institute,
Managing your Image in a Week, was recently published by Hodder & Stoughton
and has just been translated into Spanish.
