Graduates' Testimonials

Madelyn Li:

Dear Joyce;

I'm writing to send you my sincere thank you for all the guidance and advice that you have given me. I want you to know how grateful I am to have you as my mentor. This is the main reason why I joined the home study program. I wanted to have a coach that was able to guide me into the "Image" industry, a coach that was experienced and easy to work with.

With you, Joyce, I got more than what I expected. Your down-to-earth approach (no glamour), and your quick response, though we are separated by thousands of miles, have definitely made you a special coach. Besides providing invaluable advice, you are someone who has a non-judgmental attitude, willing to listen to my needs and with genuine interest in getting me certified and in a successful career. I know I can count on you as a coach and a friend.

There are a lot of "Image" training programs, but your home study program has definitely given me the flexibility in catering to what I want. The flexibility for me to select my area of interest was very motivating. Most importantly, I am able to learn and achieve the same result without traveling to the "classroom" which is thousands of miles away and that definitely costs a lot more as well.

I am confident that with your guidance and support I am on the right track towards achieving success.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Madelyn Li

Dear Dr. Knudsen:

Throughout my life, I have wanted to become a certified image consultant. I had been dabbling with image consulting as a hobby for quite a few years. I didn't select this profession as my career, just a hobby. When I knew my life needed a career change, I reflected more heavily on my need to make my hobby a full-fledge career.

I was excited to learn about your ImageMaker Home Study Program. Your background, expertise and one on one guidance in the image consulting field is what prompted me to take your program. This decision is the best decision I have ever made in my work career. The materials you provided to me to take the home study program were detailed, structured, and provided valuable information. In addition to the material, your personal attention, understanding, and patience was a refreshing experience. You gave me confidence and support with my goal to become a certified image consultant.

I cannot thank you enough for providing me with a wonderful learning experience. I look forward to your mentoring in my journey as a Certified Image Consultant, and your friendship.

Sincerely,

Dear Joyce:

Thank you for the invaluable help you gave me throughout your Home Study Mentoring Program. Each time I called you for help, you gave completely of yourself by taking time to explain and guide me towards making the best decisions for my Image Consulting business. You not only motivated me to continue my path of becoming an Image Consultant, you also encouraged me and made me feel that I am a valued and competent person in the field. Your words of encouragement have changed my outlook of myself and my product. After taking your course, I feel competent, confident, and excited to begin my own business.

Not only did you give me the motivation, encouragement and confidence, but through your course, I learned aspects of Image Consulting that I was initially weak in, such as figure analysis, color analysis, marketing my product, and creating a press kit. Your manual has an enormous amount of information that is easy to read, understand and use. Your book, From Head to Soul, is also well written, informative and easy to comprehend.

Your program is well worth taking because of the volume of information it contains for someone like me, who wants to become a Certified Image Consultant. The most helpful and beneficial part of your program is YOU - having a mentor for life! You are a great coach and mentor who took an interest in me and my goal of becoming an Image Consultant. Thank you again, Joyce, for all of your help, guidance, and continuing support. You made a tremendous difference in my life and my career!

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Knudsen:

My search to find the right educational program was long and arduous. There are other image consulting courses out there to choose from, but after speaking with you on the telephone, I knew I had found the right program for me. Your support and encouragement were added values that were unexpected but greatly appreciated. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for those "extras".

After completing your home-study program, I believe I now have the knowledge and tools to start my own image consulting practice. I also believe I have made a true friend in the business from whom I can always draw upon for support when needed.

Thanks again for your guidance and understanding.

Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:

I want to personally recommend Dr. Joyce Knudsen for her invaluable home study mentoring program. She conducts her business in a professional, friendly manner, and is a wonderful representative of your professional organization.

The personal coaching I received when taking her Home Study Course was astounding. I have worked with many health and wellness practitioners who offered "assistance" with their courses, but no one compares with Dr. Knudsen in that arena. I was so impressed with her knowledge and willingness to help me in any way possible, I chose to work closely with her to expand my fledgling health business.

Dr. Knudsen is the best example of a lifelong learner/teacher I have ever met. She recognizes the difference in learning styles and adapts her teaching accordingly. She provides cutting edge information to her current and former students and clients as it becomes available. Her encouragement, professionalism and leadership are standards that exemplify excellence in the image industry.

I am proud to know and work with Dr. Joyce Knudsen and know you must feel the same way.

Dear Joyce:

I send you my heartfelt gratitude with this letter. I want you to know how fortunate I am to have you as my mentor. I was desperately looking for someone who could relate with what I was interested in and that is in inner image enhancement. I did not want to focus on grooming or fashion, per se, although I know how important it is to one's image.

What I really wanted was to specialize in self-esteem, communications and etiquette. Allowing me the flexibility to select my area of interest was all the motivation I needed to be convinced that you are an experienced mentor. If the program had been conducted in a very rigid and structured manner, this mentorship program would not have worked, and it would have been a waste of time and money for me. As a mentor, you know how to work with an individual (i.e. pace, area of interest, etc.) so that the understudy can grow and excel. I feel reassured having you as my mentor, not only because of your experience and knowledge, but also because of your straight-forwardness and attitude (i.e. sincerity in wanting to help and guide me towards success).

Initially, I was under the impression that learning via long distance might not be a good idea, but trusting in you I went ahead. I am now aware that distance does not matter - what matters is the relationship and rapport between mentor and student. I would also like to add that I am extremely at ease doing this program, even though it is via long distance. I am sure that there are many people like me who would benefit greatly if they had a mentor to help them to get started and work with them until success is achieved. The problem, however, is finding the right mentor. You have built within such a short period the kind of relationship that only a very experienced mentor can build. Besides providing invaluable advice, a mentor should also be approachable. You are someone who is willing to listen to my every need and you are very straight-forward without being critical. As a novice, there are moments when I was reluctant to ask, for fear of being criticized, but with you this was not the case. In fact, I am looking forward to consulting with you as much as possible.

I have full trust in you and I am sure that with your guidance and support I am on the right track towards achieving success.

Thank you Joyce.

Dear Joyce:

Following my decision to follow a home study program, I carried out a detailed research of providers of such services. It was soon clear to me that The Imagemaker Home Study Program with Dr. Joyce Knudsen was my best choice. She has many years of experience and expertise in consulting, mentoring, writing books and television shows. I was a bit skeptical about the efficiency of such a program with regards to the great physical distance that separated us, but Joyce quickly proved to me that I was indeed on the right track. Her program allows for creativity and flexibility, which was exactly what I was looking for. The support material is professional and extremely helpful. I would like to thank Joyce Knudsen for her unlimited support, immediate feedback and continuous motivation during and after the program. I have met a colleague that I can trust and can look up to. Thank you. I hope to keep in touch with Joyce in the future.

Sincerely yours,

I think it is a gift from Heaven to let me know Joyce through her mentoring of her Home Study Program. I learned more than I expected, for sure, not only the contents of the program. The key issue is that she let me understand the essential elements to be professional during the process. It began known from the first day that I asked her questions to the dates I learned from her, there are quite a lot of chances to tell me "Look, that is what an expert like Joyce is doing in the image industry."

Joyce gives me the feeling that she does her work with passion to life. There is a great impact to me by her attitude and words that penetrates into all our communication, which are always inspired and encouraged.

Joyce coaches people to get appropriate outer appearance as well as to enhance the inner side of a person, I think she really adds a unique value to the image industry.

From Joyce, I know how good it feels to be generous and I am willing to spread out.
From Joyce, I know I can bring out the best in each other and situations.
From Joyce, I know I can model the image for success!
By and large, I am grateful to get Joyce as my mentor.

Dear Dr. Joyce

There comes a time when a person has to pick a certain path to go to through life. The alternatives I had were at first, confusing, because I didn't know quite well which direction I would end up choosing. But what wasn't so confusing was my flare and initiative for the Image field. All through the course of my life, I felt like the Image was completely a inherent part of us that no one had realized but me. Then on, I've always enjoyed talking about trends in fashion, cosmetics and behavior, in a well educated manner, with my friends and family. They often refer to me as the "image person".

So, having this background in my life, I was mostly leaning into the image consulting business for the rest of my life. And that's when, with a little motivation from my friends and family, decided to get started. I looked up many seminars and courses in the Image consulting field around the world to decide which was the best choice according to my expectations for business. I couldn't find a more complete course than this one. In all areas in which I would consider (location, duration, price, service, etc), my best option was The ImageMaker, Inc.

Joyce, as you may know, it's been two weeks now since I started, but I've seen lots of improvements and corrections done to my "base knowledge". I'm very excited to be taking this course because I know that when it finishes, I'll have almost all necessary tools to get started into my previous made decision, my choice for becoming an Image Consultant.

You inspired a lot of trust since the beginning and I hope we can still be in touch once the course ends, maybe we can help each other in the future. I'm trying to speed up things to start as soon as I can and make a living in the field of the Image Consulting.

Thank you for your time, we'll still be together completing and wrapping up the course, but for now I can only thank you for helping me achieve my goals and I really hope this can turn for the best to both of us.

Best wishes and sincere thanks,
Vanessa Sepúlveda

You are a living magic to change people's life either online, offline or in person!

You and The ImageMaker, Inc. are such a perfect definition of a "good choice", especially in the image consulting and inner-self development world.
