About Role Modelling

Role Modelling was conceived by Dr Adriana Giotta in 2005 and officially launched in 2010 as a pioneering professional role to empower international Fashion Models to embody adaptive and inspirational Role Models for the world.

From 2010 Dr Adriana through Role Modelling has been assisting fashion models to thrive in their modelling careers by learning to attune to and meet their needs, feel good in their skin, appreciate their remarkable influencing power over the larger population and take responsibility for the messages they convey to the world through their embodiments.

Since 2018, Role Modelling has expanded in support of the larger population, women, elite performers, business executives, entrepreneurs, Board of Directors and people in social and professional positions of high influence and visibility.

Role models are conscious, self actualised influencers, change catalysts who embody authenticity, a sense of responsibility and the change they wish to see manifested in the world.
