 Raving Fans:

Maria, What a wonderful experience for our consultants and guests, having you as our Keynote Speaker at our recent conference in Wellington!

It was a delight to meet you, and your personality, professionalism, presentation, content, commitment and grace impacted on everyone. Many have come to me saying what an inspiration you are and I have to agree. My only regret was that I was unable to attend your second session on Effective Presentation Skills. (I would love to remedy that situation at another time.)

I do hope we see you again at future conferences or anytime you care to visit New Zealand - you are assured of a very warm welcome indeed! And of course, its not all one way - I am sure some of our members will be travelling to Australia in future and will seek you out there!

So lovely to meet you, Maria, and again, many thanks

To be honest – I’m in my early 20’s… size 8… I’ve always have had a nice style… love my funky shoe collection… and without sounding pretentious I didn’t think I needed help to look any better!!! 

However… the experience with you was PROFOUND. 

I was first surprised at the EXACTING DETAIL of the entire assessment…the measurement from my ear to my collar bone…recording all my proportions…I started to see how exactly customised it was.

And the biggest light bulb moment? 

 You were able to show me how important (and surprisingly beautiful) it was to highlight ‘me’ – and NOT -- ‘what I wear’. SUCH a shift in how I hold myself!

 Like when you showed me how my usual big jacket/coat collars made me “diminish” -- and the “feminine elegant” style with a thinner collar really brought ME into the look.

 You’ll be glad to know my clothes don’t hide me anymore – they reveal ME. And it ain’t so scary!! 

 I’m proud of how I look, and my clients see that. My clients and team hold me in higher authority than ever before, and I now attract a higher calibre clientele -- all because I'm a different person in how I hold myself.

Thank you Maria! What a shift!!"

Maria Cuci came highly recommended to me and I'm glad I engaged her to help develop my branding through refining my image. As an interior stylist and colour consultant, image speaks volumes so I wanted an expert's opinion. We had a great time working together and I came away with ideas I could implement immediately. I did not have to throw away half my wardrobe and start again (which was a scary thought) instead add a few simple key pieces and work from there. It's great, I don't spend hours thinking about what I'm going to wear and I feel confident in front of my clients.  Maria's Top Qualities: Personable, Expert, Creative.

 Thanks Maria for bringing it all together.

Hi, my name is Howard McCormick and I'm a Family Doctor from Phillip Island in Australia.  I am in the process of developing my profile as an empowering speaker, moving from working with individuals in my medical practice, to working with a variety of audiences in the areas of Health, Wealth and Happiness - with Purpose. 

When I first heard Maria Cuci-Panetta speak, I quickly realised that she understood the principles of dress and colour.  I decided to not only book a consultation for myself, but also one for my wife.   

During the one-on-one session, Maria's extensive knowledge moved from theory into practice for both of us.  Her professional approach is considered and  individualised.  I really like that way Maria uses a clear process or comparison and measurement, with lots of checks and balances along the way.  The recommendations she provided us were based on mutual discovery and evidence, rather than being extracted from thin air or guesswork as I had experienced elsewhere.

The reports that Maria produced were comprehensive and practical.  Combined with the extensive support materials, such and the colour swatches and shopping guide, I now have a simple easy way to get it right first time.  Not being a great fan of shopping, I now have a simple way to get in,  and purchase clothes that suit my style and the image I want to project, then get out again.  I no longer have to clutter up my wardrobe the odd wrong purchases made in haste!

The consultation and follow-up have given me far more than I expected or was promised.  For me, the biggest gift I received from Maria was her enthusiasm for what I wanted to do with my speaking and how to refine the image would go with that.  After our session, I became totally clear about who I want to be known as, and why.  I have registered the domain names and have started to put in place the steps to build the web site.  I'm very grateful for Maria's wisdom and insight in this area.

So if  you are looking for clarification of your image, as I was, or are simply looking for a way to buy clothes, colours and use styles that match you best, I would  strongly recommend you do what it takes to make Maria Cuci-Panetta your Personal Style Coach.  My wife and I are really glad we did.

 In the consultation with Maria Cuci-Panetta, she applied the knowledge she shared at Advanced Presenters Intensive, with an incredible system to help my wife and myself to develop the image and colours that suit us.  More than that, she helped me to develop a very clear idea of who I want to be as an empowering speaker, and the image I want to project.  I have just registered the web site domains to back it my new image.


Your sincerely,



Dr Howard McCormick

Thank you so much for all of your generous assistance, and your encouragement, I really appreciate it.
It's funny, I've always dreaded public speaking, and your advice to tell myself that the information I want to share is important and will help these women has made me instantly calm!
I've incorporated and credited all of your information, it's very helpful!

I called Maria Cuci at a moment's notice, requesting a 'quotable quote' to help me out with a jewellery presentation I was due to give the next morning... Not only did Maria deliver the goods, she also gave me some invaluable coaching advice over the phone, which helped calm my nerves, reassure me and make me believe in myself. Every time I interact with Maria, her personal style, flair and love of life impress me no end. She certainly lives and breathes what she does!

“Maria completed my personal style assessment with me getting me set up for my new business venture where I will be key note speaking and working one on one with my clients. Being a business brand consultant it is especially important for me to look congruent with my business brand and be true to who I am. Although I know a lot about branding, having to identify your personal brand is one of the hardest things I have had to consider! Maria guided me through the process smoothly and efficiently and constantly added value along the way - I guarantee that working with Maria you will learn a great deal more than what you originally came for, in style, in business and in life. Since working with Maria I have re-newed confidence in presenting myself as an individual in my new business and stepping out into new and exciting opportunities.Thanks Maria!” April 1, 2010

I found out about María on a web seminar and I met her later in a work expo.

I found fascinating her ability to walk her talk and to represent what she does.

Maria is very passionate, involved and enthusiastic and she is also very inspiring and supportive. 

Maria is gifted to assist you to bring out your essence. 

Learning about my personal style an own nature with her greatly assisted me to gain confident and to know how best present my true self. 

Thank you Maria for assisting me to have success!
