Joshua Zuchter

International speaker, author, empowerment specialist, and business coach

Professional, world-class, and exceptional in all aspects of Image Consulting, communications, and training, Karen Brunger is one of the most extraordinary individuals I have met.

As an international trainer and professional speaker, Karen is flawless – educating audiences on how to achieve higher levels of success while at the same time inspiring them to reach more deeply to access their inner power.

As an image consultant, aside from her remarkable and consistent skill level, she is also the main catalyst for all of the compliments I receive. I would hire Karen ten times out of ten to help me project my best in front of a camera, an audience, or even socially.

It is one of my life’s greatest privileges to be able to work with Karen, share a stage with her, and to be a part of her team. I also already consistently recommend my clients, executives, entertainers, and corporations alike to her.

Karen’s greatest asset though, is not intentional on her part. I have noticed that when people are simply around her, they become elevated. This is the gift that Karen is.

If you know me at all, you would know that I seek out the best. I am grateful to have found one of them in Karen and recommend her without hesitation and with absolutely certainty.

I wanted to thank you again…and tell you what a difference [the consultation] has made in my life. I have enjoyed feeling & looking my best … color clarity has given me greater confidence that I can feel inside & out… You are making a real difference in peoples lives just like me. Every day, since meeting you, I feel the truth in my appearance. Being authentic is a big deal to me; I relish in my new ability to highlight that authenticity with how I appear. It’s real harmony, and it makes me feel so happy inside I almost can’t stand it!

Founding Director, Potenxia Unlimited

I’ve always enjoyed Karen’s workshops as she puts her whole soul and energy into it to make it personal and effective. She has an amazing way to help you ‘let go’ of your disbelief and blockages to get the results you want. Karen is supernaturally human if there is such a term – she has a way of taking you to the next realm and yet stay very human and realistic. I highly recommend her workshops – you have to experience her to know what I mean!

Kristin Shoop

Image Consultant

Thank you so much for being such an incredible mentor, advisor, trainer and most of all, inspiration.  Being in your training program absolutely made the difference for me in terms of image consulting being a fun hobby, to being a serious business of which I’m passionate about and interested in pursuing for the rest of my working days.  You showed me it’s possible.  You trained me with the information I needed.  You challenged me.  You taught me the questions I needed to ask, both myself and future clients.  You let me shine, stumble and grow stronger.  Thank you so very much.  You didn’t sell me fish.  You gave me the tools so I could fish on my own  🙂
