Washington, IL – Byrd is the founder of Image Potential, where she provides unique, interactive learning opportunities that encourage self-awareness, reflective thinking, and mindfulness in support of her vision:  a world where people are more thoughtful and respectful about their decisions, choices, and actions and more mindful of how they’re communicating and interacting with others. Image Potential’s services focus on leadership and management development, interpersonal communication, personal and business branding, professional etiquette and strategic marketing.  

“I have a true passion for improving quality of life, especially in the workplace, because people spend most of their time at work. There’s a lot of unnecessary and unwarranted stress and strife in the workplace that I believe stems from incivility, distractedness, underdeveloped leadership, and a lack of critical thinking,” says Byrd. “One of the best ways to improve our quality of life is to improve our quality of thinking.  That's why I infuse a lot of techniques into my teaching and consulting to help people evaluate their thinking and increase mindfulness.  I help them gain powerful insight about their authenticity, how they're showing up and what's driving them.” 

Byrd works with employees to build resilience and adaptability, as well as with leaders and managers to create better workplace environments where people can thrive and bring their best selves. She draws on her unique ability to curate and blend the appropriate combination of learning opportunities based on her client’s desired outcomes.

Bronx, NY – The brain is dynamic, so alive, so many connections, so many tasks being done all at once, remotely, whatever is needed. The brain is a living miracle, but we’re getting closer to understanding the brain, both biologically and chemically, thanks to remarkable advances by dedicated, innovative and open-minded scientists like Dr. Patricia Broderick. 

Dr. Broderick is a Medical Professor in Molecular Cellular and Biomedical science at The City University of New York School of Medicine and Professor in Neurology at NYU-Langone Medical Center. She is also Founder of Eazysense Nanotechnologies Inc.

Dr, Broderick has invented, patented and trademarked a revolutionary technology that will change the way we understand the brain. Some medical doctors publish have stated that The BRODERICK PROBE® will change the face of science and medicine.

“They call me the dynamite stick, because nothing stops me,” says Dr. Broderick. “I am the first person to marry the brain with sensors.  We can discover all new ways to treat the brain.”

Dr. Broderick has spent a career working on neurodegenerative diseases like epilepsy, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, as well as biopsychiatric conditions like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders.

“Some people study the brain,” says Dr. Broderick. “I wanted to sense the neurotransmitters in the brain to see what is going on in the natural state and then compare the differences in neurochemistry with the brain disorder that we want to heal.”

With the Broderick nanotechnology, neurotransmitter signals can be seen on the computer and even the mobile device.

“I want to share it with the whole world,” says Dr. Broderick. “Let everybody use it. The laws of probability suggest we'll all find something great.”

Sacramento, CA – Why do we as human beings struggle within ourselves? Why can we not just mentally resolve all of our conflicts? What does healing actually mean, and what does self-awareness have to do with it?

Carrie J. Meyer has devoted much of her life to understanding the nature of internal conflict and suffering, which she has found to be fundamentally related to healing and evolving. This “mission to understand” led her through various kinds of experience and learning and helped her comprehend what holistic really means. Her path has enabled her to cultivate a broad spectrum understanding of human consciousness, which has richly resourced her to help others heal their conflicts and fulfill their evolutionary potential through the paradigm of self-awareness.

Meyer is the creator of Holoflective Healing, which encompasses Holographic Energy Work, Holistic Hypnotherapy and Integrative Counseling.

“As a human being I’ve experienced and deeply investigated my own fragmentation, which has allowed me to appreciate the distinction between fragmentation and wholeness,” says Meyer. “Holo means whole. Reflect means to show. The term I created, Holoflective Healing, to me means to reflect or show someone their intrinsic wholeness.”

Meyer says that her Integrative Counseling allows her to incorporate her subtle awareness or intuition. With her extensive training in both Western and Eastern approaches to healing, Meyer is able to reference both the theoretical and her own intuitive perceptions in a way that doesn't reduce her clients to a cliché.

Portage, MI – When asked for an opinion, personal perception or suggestion most of us say what’s expected of us rather than having the courage to speak up and speak out.

But is that enough to create the kinds of relationships that make a difference for both parties? What does it really take to be truly influential?

The answer is simpler than you might expect: We need to lead with our best self, the self who is courageous, passionate, respectful, honest, trustworthy, and committed to excellence and empowering others.

San Mateo, CA – Though the nature of our workforce is changing rapidly, human resources–the ability to negotiate, mediate, help people work through issues–will always be an integral part of any successful organization.

For 25 years, Diana Clarke has served as a senior HR leader and strategist within large, complex global technology and business divisions for organizations such as Google, Amazon and Callaway Golf Company.

Recently however, Clarke has established her own independent strategic human resource solutions consultancy Clarke Business Counsel, which offers premier HR consulting and executive coaching services.

“When you think of consulting, there’s a lot of telling,” explains Clarke. “You’re telling them how to run their business, giving them guidance on policy and precedent setting. With coaching, it’s more about asking questions and helping leaders discover solutions for themselves. My philosophy and my goal for Clarke Business Counsel is a hybrid of the two things together.”

Clarke provide business and technology leaders with an unbiased perspective of their organization and assist them in assessing their current organizational capabilities and how changes may impact a company and its employees. ?

“It’s about being a resource for individuals to communicate their concerns,” says Clarke. “It’s important for there to be an open door so these issues can be surfaced. Without it, people will leave the organization because they don’t feel comfortable anymore.”

Seymour, MO – The spirit is willing, but most of us don’t seem to know how to get past our stress to find the motivation to change our habits, change our food choices, and make time for exercise.

We’ve become too passive. We don’t consider our health until we sense there is a problem. We don’t take proactive steps to stay healthy. Unfortunately, most of us jump at aggressive treatment choosing chemical drugs and surgery before trying natural remedies that are outcome-based and scientifically proven.

There exists a perception that traditional medicine and natural medicine are in conflict, when in fact they can complement each other. If we’re not in the hospital or under a physician’s care, we should be engaging someone who empowers us to be mindful of our health at all times.

Sharon Young is the founder of Heart of Health Wellness Center where she helps bridge the gap between natural and western medicine.

“I love to motivate people, to see the light bulb come on,” says Sharon. “I’m not just a health coach. I’m a life coach because it all goes back to our life choices. If we choose good behavior, we will enjoy good outcomes.”

A registered nurse with a master’s in nursing education, Sharon was inspired to establish the Heart of Health Wellness Center following struggles with her own health. Sharon says it’s amazing what you can do to improve your health. The body will heal itself if we give it the tools to do so.

Petersburg, WV - Being severely bullied can cause lifelong devastation. While having a friend and family nearby does provide some level of comfort, sometimes we need someone who can teach us to stick up for ourselves by seeing the greatness within us.

Dreama Kelly is the founder of Your Life Coaching and author of the powerful and compelling book Beyond the Bully: Facing your Life’s Nemeses. Dreama holds educational thought workshops on empowerment, anti-bullying, self-control, and developing your true self. 

“Self-empowerment is my main focal point,” says Dreama. “It’s absolutely crucial for us to learn how to stand up for ourselves and others. This means stepping out of the victim role and developing ourselves to the best of our ability even if we're being bullied."

Dreama had been bullied by a coworker for two decades. After decisively quitting her job Dreama realized how much of her identity was lost and how this individual was writing her life story. She needed to take back control. Enlightened and impassioned by this self-discovery, she told herself she must share her experience and guide other people, so they too can also establish a positive, magnificent change in their own lives.

“Our life is our story and every life is a journey,” says Dreama. “We must determine who is writing our story, how it’s being scripted, and is the final chapter what we have always anticipated. We can’t let other people have the final say in our lives. We must take responsibility and ultimately write our own life story.”

Palm Beach, Fl – The author George Eliot once said, “It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

After a career in education, Marcia Chellis became a New York Times and London Timesbestselling author of four books: Living With the Kennedys: The Joan Kennedy Story; Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives; The Girls From Winnetka; and her most recent book Love Letters in the Sand.

“I write books for and about women overcoming obstacles,” says Chellis.              

Chellis’s focus changed from writing for children to writing for women after a life-changing professional experience. While living in Boston, Chellis developed an unlikely friendship with her neighbor, Joan Kennedy, wife of Senator Ted Kennedy.

Living With the Kennedys: The Joan Kennedy Story, published by Simon & Schuster, did not have the typical response of a biography. Chellis would learn how Joan’s story inspired women all over the country, who believed if Joan Kennedy could recover, they could too.

For her next book, Chellis profiled ordinary women, the woman next door—not those with enormous resources to aid in their recoveries. Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives, tells the personal stories of these women and their heroic achievements.

Chellis’s third book The Girls From Winnetka recounts the stories of five women who come of age in the fifties. Her most recent work, Love Letters in the Sand, is her first work of fiction.

Key Biscayne,  FL- Many of us have parents who sacrificed and worked diligently so their children could have a better life. We (the children) are then faced with the challenge of how to make their parents’ lives the best they can be as they age. This is where Parent Your Parents, a senior concierge services company, can be of tremendous help and support to those who face this very challenge.  

Parent your Parents is a consulting firm, led by H. Frances Reaves and accompanied by a robust team of experts, that guides families through elder care options. The company works on the non-medical side of senior care to advocate for seniors and teach adult children how to properly care for their parents.

“To parent your parent is undoubtedly challenging, both emotionally and logically. Parents are the people who raised you and it's difficult to change those roles. It’s a common occurrence for children to ignore what's going on and avoid the confrontation,” says Reaves. “We have the professional and personal expertise to help you determine which elder care options are best for your family.”

Frances was inspired to create Parent your Parents after navigating the process with her aging parents. She found that no one has the seniors’ best interest at heart, and, if given the chance, indiviudals will take advantage of seniors and their families. Parent Your Parents assists families in having uncomfortable conversations to arrive at a solution that is best for all family members involved.
