Interests
I love running my business, but apart from that I enjoy entertaining, driving our classic car, painting and life drawing, movies and reading fantasy novels. I've travelled extensively but am always keen to do more!
Activities:
Our summer is taken up with taking our veteran car to competition events (concourse), and sharing our time with other like-minded car club members. Life is never dull with a bunch of pistonheads! I like to sit quietly too and work on a water-colour painting when I'm on holiday in a lovely location, or stick my head in a book for hours, quite the opposite to my frantic day to day existence.
Favorite Authors:
Sebastian Faulkes, Malcolm Bradwell, Bill Bryson

About Me
I went to 10 schools! My parents moved so much that I was never at a school for longer than 3 years, generally much less, but at least I learned to make friends quickly! I've been a successful photographic model, making over 100 commercials worldwide, run my own production company in advertising photography, been an image consultant, written a book on Personal Brand and been a recognised international expert on personal brand and reputation management. I am currently working on a video technology home business and thoroughly enjoying that alongside my other businesses. I want to retire in 3 years' time and be able to be well enough set up for a comfortable restful retirement.

Hi!
My name is Tessa Hood, and I've been in business as a personal brand consultant and reputation management expert for 10 years. Previously I ran my own photographic production business and ran ad campaigns for ad agencies and photographers for blue chip companies all over the world. It was so stressful that I retrained as an image consultant and then developed my own theories and beliefs about 'image' and began to work with large corporates, sme's and individual entrepreneurs as a personal brand development specialist. I'm married with no kids, but a husband who is a total petrolhead, so we spend a lot of time going to vintage and veteran motor events. Huge fun!!
