Creative Potential

Join us for a discussion with the author of the book, "The Six Habits", Laura DiBenedetto where we cover topics ranging from the pursuit of true happiness, artistic freedom and everything in between. 

At nineteen, Laura founded Vision Advertising, a Massachusetts marketing firm. Over the years, the company grew to become a multi-award-winning agency with a solid reputation, millions in revenue, and national recognition. For nearly twenty years, Laura relentlessly pursued the highest of standards, defying tradition to be the first to bring many cutting-edge technologies to her clients. She is a well-known marketing thought-leader and educator in the area, responsible for educating many other marketing companies on new strategies and tools.

During her career at Vision Advertising, Laura accumulated 18 awards to include two Torch Awards from the Better Business Bureau and the Forty Under 40 Award at age twenty-three. She was frequently featured on TV and radio, most notably including multiple appearances on FOX News. Laura routinely gave speeches and led workshops for area business organizations, universities, and special interest groups like the Massachusetts Restaurant Association.

With a soft spot for ambitious college students (having been a very young entrepreneur herself), women’s issues, and animals, Laura always felt it was important to be a helper and a mentor in the community. She built many entrepreneur-education and internship programs, and became the benefactor of a handful of local organizations dedicated to women’s abuse recovery and animal rescue services.

At thirty-seven, Laura retired as active CEO of Vision Advertising, turning over the reins to her successor, maintaining ownership of the company.

Right before her retirement, Laura was exhausted and depressed. She had made the disappointing discovery that no matter how much you love something; you can still get burnt out. This inspired her to take massive, motivated action and set out on a personal research project that changed her life, and subsequently many others. Laura’s research project resulted in massive change in her own life, her energy level, physical health, emotional healing, and for the first time in years – genuine happiness. Laura sold her beloved home in Massachusetts and moved to Maui with her husband, and has been adventuring, sharing her ideas, and empowering others to find true happiness.

The astounding results of her research project resulted in findings that became “The Six Habits.” Laura had uncovered the truth of happiness and what it really is. She further uncovered what habits are required for a truly happy life, and how to master those habits. The Six Habits is a book that teaches the importance of a constructive relationship with ourselves and provides specific instructions on developing mastery. The Six Habits is available as a paperback, ebook, and audio book at thesixhabits.com.

The powerful impact of The Six Habits seen in Laura’s own life, clients, and colleagues paved the way for “The Six Habits – 90 Day Habit Mastery” program, and “The Six Habits Coaching Framework” – both available now.

Laura is a TEDx speaker and is a guest on popular podcasts including “Wings of Inspired Business” and “Soul Powered.” She is an active blogger with an engaged blogging and social platform. She is available for speeches, guest-appearances on podcasts, TV, and radio, guest-appearances in magazines and online channels.

His life, has been a literal Encyclopedia Bullcrappica of stories, mostly autobiographical in nature, and written under a pseudonym to disguise ownership. Stories that read like a Who's Who of a person struggling to find his identity in a world that was consistently inconsistent for him. His parents' divorce was the most damaging to him emotionally and the main reason he escaped into sports, academics and music, for much of his formative years. Suffice to say, when life got "lifey," he made a habit of diverting attention and pursuing an academic or athletic accomplishment. With the resultant trophies, certificates and awards, people focused on the prizes instead of the broken person behind them. When he was alone in his room, the headphones went on, he sank into his waterbed and the records and cassettes played for hours and months and years. This secret formula continued for over 10 years, until work accomplishments, changes in college majors, and focus on GPA took over. Now, prepare to read about HIM and his life in layers or cycles. It's crazy. And every word is true. You may relate, you may not. You may laugh, you may not. Heck, you may choke on your food. But one thing is for sure, you will shake your head! I warned you!

Whether it is coaching people to play golf, sharing marketing strategy, or helping individuals to improve their performance, this is what he focuses on—finding greatness. He teaches each person to become “the surgeon of the greens”. He often starts with just making them practice whacking weeds. Surely, many of his “students” have considered him a “whacko” at some point; but when they hit that first sweet shot, that breakthrough they’ve been waiting for, that’s when the feeling of greatness becomes theirs to own.

Having studied and worked with Tony Robbins for over 20 years allows him the opportunity to help individuals reach the peak of their performance.
