Sonia Duan's Personal Journey

Sonia Duan, an image consultant, shares her journey from humble beginnings to finding her passion and purpose.
Raised by a single mother, she attended boarding school at the age of six, where she discovered her passion for serving the country through defense.
Despite her dreams of joining the defense, academic challenges led her to pursue biotechnology in college.
Influenced by her mother's concerns, she shifted to MBA, where she faced job market challenges due to the 2008 recession.
After trying various career options, she found her calling as an image consultant, combining her interests in psychology, fashion, and communication.

After completing her MBA, Sonia faced confusion and an existential crisis, questioning her true passions and purpose.
She stumbled upon the concept of image management and realized her skills and qualities as an image consultant.
Recognizing the need to bridge the gap between individuals' skills and authentic self-presentation, she started her own image management company.
Sonia emphasizes the challenges and sacrifices in finding passion and purpose but highlights the fulfillment and ease it brings.

Sonia encourages individuals to embrace their unique inner image and develop their outer image through appearance, communication, and behavior.
By combining a strong inner image with an effective outer image, individuals can become limitless and adaptable, learning from every experience to achieve their goals.
Sonia's journey exemplifies the importance of self-discovery, embracing change, and using diverse experiences to build a fulfilling career and make a positive impact.

Sonia has achieved her goals of traveling the world, working with people in defense and uniform, and helping them train to build their image.
She emphasizes the importance of self-development and investing in oneself as the most valuable asset.
By building oneself up, one becomes a holistic and limitless entity, capable of achieving anything.
