Q&A with Color and Style Consultant Maud Janssen

Leading up to our upcoming monthly meeting on ‘Reinvigoration & Reinvention: Color Your Life,’ we’re featuring a Q&A with Maud Janssen, a color and Style consultant working for the British company House of Colour. The Q&A is modeled on the Proust Questionnaire, designed to reveal insights into the respondent’s personality.
Learn about how finding the right colors that suit you can present a positive and empowering image and give you confidence to reach your full potential at our Monthly Meeting this Thursday, January 11.
