BENAISHA KHARAS
Benaisha was a 19-year-old shy timid girl who walked in with her mother with hopeful eyes of building her own image and then in turn building the lives of others. Having learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD- her school and college years were a struggle to prove her self-worth. This not only created a poor self-image but also a poor impression on her friends and family.
In the year of 2010 her mother came across the ICBI advertisement which made her recommend the program to Benaisha.

Sana Chopra
An avid reader and writer since her childhood, Sana always had an interest to know more about people and help them. Being an extrovert by nature, Sana liked exploring new options for herself while meeting new people along the journey. It was in 2015, when her brother saw an ad about Image Consulting in the newspaper and persuaded her mom to join the course and become an Image Consultant herself. But as fate would have it, Sana ended up joining the course instead of her mother. She joined ICBI when she was just 18 years old to explore the career of Image Consulting and know more about it while she was pursuing B. Com Honors from Delhi University alongside.
Who knew what started as a journey of exploration soon will turn out to be a career choice for Sana. She started training kids at schools and conducted a few sessions while she was still in her 3rd year of college and also started her own firm by the name of Power of You.
Her excellent academic achievements along with the soft skills that she was then trained in landed her a job in KPMG, one of the big four of the auditing world in India. She ended up taking the job to further explore her career choices. Soon after joining the job, she realized that she was not doing what she was meant to do – to help people become better versions of themselves and unleash the power they have within them. It was then that she decided to leave her well-paying job to go back to working on her own dream – Power of You. She was still scared whether it would work out for her or not, yet this time, she had a determination to give her 100% to her dream and not back out when things got tough.
It has been 5 years since and she hasn’t looked back. The journey for her has been extremely challenging as compared to a job that she left but as she says, no rewards come without challenges. Today, she is helping people unleash their true potential by making them realize the power that they have within themselves. She dared to dream and make a difference in the world by doing her bit. Her journey is an example of what you can do once you set your mind on something and decide to go for it.
