Abigail Cole Hardin is a gifted speaker, as she embodies confidence, clarity and authenticity.

For speaking engagements, she understands the balance of keeping it positive while keeping it real. Even though Hardin helps people in their appearance, she is quick to show how meaningful appearance can be. Hardin usually surprises people when she vulnerably shares her story of growing up with a noticeable birthmark on her cheek and the challenges of being misrepresented in her image. Her audience identifies with her experiences and connects to their own stories of losing confidence. Through the power of empathy, it becomes clear that image is not superficial. It can be what tears down or builds up confidence because it represents self-worth.

When Abigail was a young girl, she noticed when she dressed in her favorite outfit, it changed the way she saw herself and her outlook on her day. She realized if she couldn’t find confidence from the inside out, she could find a form of confidence from the outside in. This led her to pursue a fashion career in New York City, only to realize it was not everything she had hoped. She learned confidence cannot only be in the clothing. She needed to face her past.

Growing up with a family of therapists, Abigail spoke the language of mental health. She witnessed and experienced the value of talking to a professional to heal the past, but how daunting it could be. Sometimes people need a confidence boost to face the past, so they can enjoy their present and future.

By combining her expertise as an image consultant and an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Practitioner and Certified Life Coach, Abigail found her unique position to help people whether cleaning out their closets or listening to their stories of lost confidence. She also uses her story of finding her self-worth to give hope that you truly can live your best life from the inside out.

Hardin’s multi-dimensional approach to personal development helps both men and women create more awareness of the limitations they set on themselves that keep them from full confidence. She also addresses how life transitions or events can affect how we see ourselves without fully realizing the impact.

Abigail demonstrates her coaching skills by asking her audience thought-provoking questions. Through her presentation she keeps it fun and insightful with education on the outward appearance, but as she speaks, she gives a rich undertone of granting dignity and self-worth to all.

Your audience will leave feeling seen, valued, inspired, and ready to look and feel their best!
