Why Colour & Style Builds Confidence

Could the colours and styles you wear help you achieve more? The workplace is increasingly competitive and how we are seen at work - being authentic and memorable, conveying the right messages about ourselves, but also differentiating ourselves - is ever important. Understanding the effect of colour and style is a life skill you need.

About Helen Venables

Helen began her working life with the John Lewis Partnership selling handbags and quickly moved into training and Personnel before taking a break to start a family. Involvement in leading women’s groups, founding a charity and working for it in primary schools kept her busy whilst her children grew.

After the birth of Helen’s third child she suffered from postnatal depression A friend recommended she ‘got her colours done’ which was an amazing, transformational experience. She discovered she suited a spring palette which surprised her but she followed the advice and threw out the entire contents of her wardrobe, replacing them mostly with great finds in charity shops. To her astonishment this was the start of her self-confidence returning. She was so inspired she became a stylist herself and within four years became a regional manager, and joined the company’s training team, supporting other House of Colour franchisees to build their businesses.


Two years later she became Franchisee Director and in 2012 Managing Director of the business and is passionate about training other consultants and watching them grow as individuals and as business men and women.
Established 35 years ago House of Colour is as successful as ever at recruiting those who love working with people and are passionate about making a difference.
