The Facilitator

Karen Espiritu
Her love for Sales, Fashion and Training has brought her
through extensive and diverse experiences here and
around the world. After earning a degree in Economics
during her University years, she immediately jumped into the
band wagon of the corporate world not as an Economist,
but in various sales jobs ranging from the travel industry to
publishing. These experiences enriched her in more ways
than one. However, the go-getter that she is did not stop
her from pursuing her desire to learn more. Last 2001, she left
for New York and studied Fashion Merchandising
Management at the prestigious Fashion Institute of
Technology wherein she graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Applying everything she learned in Sales and Fashion, she
once again excelled with Awards and Recognitions as she
worked her way up the corporate ladder in the streets of
New York.
Her love for the Philippines and her countrymen was always embedded in her heart. As she has seen
the fulfillment of her dreams right before her eyes, she too has envisioned that one day, she will be able to
EMPOWER PEOPLE TO FULFILL THEIR DREAMS. These same experiences and passion was what brought her back
to the Philippines last 2007.
She initially started conducting workshops for students in various colleges around the Philippines which paved
the way for various speaking engagements. She also had the chance to work with John Robert Powers as their
curriculum director and taught various Marketing courses at the famous International Fashion School -La Salle
College International. She became the Sales Director for Eastwear Manufacturing Inc. in which they exported
knitwear for high end Fashion Brands to various countries in Europe and the USA. Currently, she is the President
and Chief Trainer for Image In You Consultancy.
She believes that you should live a balanced life of both work and play. So during her free time, she
makes it a point to go out of town and muster her skills in Wakeboarding and Diving. She also was a three time
participant at the New York Central Park races and was the Marketing Head for Purelife Womens conferences.
She has traveled the world with 14 countries to her list and counting. All these accomplishments have not been
possible if it werent for her parents that have always been a great support to her and the people she has met
along the way that have molded her to be the person she is today. Most importantly she gives all the credit to
the Almighty Father who has unconditionally loved her for who she is and who continually guides and holds her
hand.
