A woman wears a striking red gown with a high slit, standing outdoors on a city sidewalk. She has dark, curly hair and is wearing silver high-heeled shoes, smiling confidently. In the background, there is a historic building with a dome and a flag on top, surrounded by tree-lined streets and modern skyscrapers under a clear blue sky.

Model & Pageant Training

Direction Sessions · 1:1 Training · Workshops

For women and girls who want to model or compete in pageants — but aren't sure where to start, which direction is right for them, or what they actually need to work on.

That is exactly where Chanel comes in.

Chanel Olive brings over 15 years of experience across modelling, pageantry, media, speaking, and live events — combining industry insight with a grounded, encouraging approach to confidence, presence, and authentic presentation.

She works with women and girls of all ages and experience levels, helping them get clear on where they are now, what to work on, and how to prepare with confidence and authenticity.

The Direction Session

Are you asking yourself:

  • Am I ready?

  • Which pageant should I enter?

  • Should I apply to an agency?

  • Are my photos good enough?

  • What do I need to improve?

  • How do I present myself better?

  • Where do I even start?

That's exactly what this session is for.

Chanel reviews where you are right now — your goals, your photos, your walk, your presentation, your experience — and gives you honest, specific feedback on what's working, what needs attention, and what to focus on next.

You'll leave with a clear picture of where you stand and a direction that's tailored specifically to you. Not generic advice. Not a one-size-fits-all plan. Guidance for where you actually are.

Sessions are suitable for all ages and experience levels. Parents are welcome to be involved.

Available in person in Melbourne, Australia and online.

Model & Pageant 1:1 Training

Once you have your direction, training is where the work begins.

Based on what came out of your Direction Session — or what you already know you need — Chanel builds a personalised training plan around your specific goals, experience level, and what you're preparing for.

Training may cover:
  • Walk, runway, and stage presence

  • Posing and camera confidence

  • Self-introduction and Q&A

  • Interview and presentation preparation

  • Personal brand and presentation

  • Confidence and personality development

  • Professionalism and industry expectations

  • Healthy boundaries and self-worth

Available in person in Melbourne, Australia or online anywhere.

Where helpful, Chanel can also connect you with trusted photographers, hair and makeup artists, stylists, and creatives who can support where you're headed.

Workshops

For model/talent agencies and pageant organisations, Chanel also offers custom workshops based on the same training offered in Model & Pageant 1:1 sessions.

Workshops can be tailored for models, aspiring models, pageant contestants, or titleholders preparing for agency development, auditions, castings, pageant competitions, showcases, interviews, or public-facing opportunities.

Why Work With Chanel

Scouted at 14, Chanel has worked across runway, campaigns, e-commerce, television commercials, editorial shoots, magazine covers, and media features.

Her pageant experience includes Miss Philippines Earth Air 2015 and Miss Supranational Philippines 2017, where she placed Top 10 internationally and was awarded Miss Friendship.

In 2025, Chanel returned to pageantry after an eight-year hiatus — as a married 34-year-old woman — to show that women can flourish and pursue their dreams at any stage of life.

Drawing on experience across modelling, pageantry, acting, media, public speaking, and hosting, Chanel's approach goes beyond teaching technique. She helps aspiring models and pageant contestants find their direction, prepare with confidence, communicate their story effectively, and show up authentically on stage and beyond.

Not sure where to start?

Book a free 15-minute Clarity Call. Chanel will help you work out whether a Direction Session, training, or something else entirely is the right first step for where you are right now.

Most start with a Direction Session — it gives you the clarity you need before any training begins, so you're not preparing for the wrong thing.
