My vision is to empower unity of one, worldwide human race through conflict resolution mastery and entrepreneurship. I want my Third Ear Conflict Resolution program to continue teaching people to forgive themselves for having conflicts and to powerfully resolve them. I want to see people reconnect with their personal gifts and create self-sufficiency from them. I want each of us to be free, to experience all of the joys in life, and to allow love to flow like air. Does that seem crazy coming from a lawyer?

Don’t be fooled by the business suit or her international corporate clients. New York-based attorney Nance L. Schick is not your traditional lawyer. The founder of The Law Studio that bears her name, Nance wants you to know from your first interaction that you can create your own resolutions. She knows because she has been creating her own through a diverse professional background. Among other things, she has been a litigant, entrepreneur, human resources supervisor, and minor league hockey agent before attaining her Juris Doctorate from the State University of New York University at Buffalo in 2001 and establishing her private practice in 2003.

A mediator, Nance seeks win-win solutions, whether she is arbitrating, coaching, litigating, mediating, or teaching. She is the visionary and creator of the Third Ear Conflict Resolution Program (TM). Through the program, Nance reminds her clients that there will always be conflicts that cannot be avoided. However, that does not mean these disagreements can’t be resolved skillfully or powerfully. Nance uses the Third Ear process and other meditation techniques to develop an action plan that moves clients toward resolution. Ideally, this process is completed privately before having to resort to a costly court procedure.

Her education and natural talent propelled Deidre to the top of her industry. With a sub-specialty in Project Finance, Deidre previously represented Barclay’s Bank, as an agent, in a $30,000,000 syndicated secured credit facility to finance the restructuring and operation of Vision Energy and its subsidiaries. At the top of her game, working at Allen & Overy, her position was ripped from her hands.

Today, Deidre is embattled in an excruciating long-term litigation with Allen & Overy over a sexual harassment complaint she brought against her direct supervisor in 2008. Shortly after filing that complaint, she was dismissed from her position.

“This chain of events is similar to what happened to Ellen Pao and to other high-powered women who make legal claims under sexual discrimination laws,” Deidre explained. “Thus, like Ms. Pao, I work at attempting to change the pernicious misogynistic cultures that seem to be prevalent in traditionally male professions and that are particularly dangerous to ambitious women, who are perceived as ‘troublesome’ if they complain and then are dismissed from their firms.”

As a result of the lawsuit, she has lost almost everyone in her life. Financially and emotionally destroyed, Deidre could only watch as her once pristine reputation was thrashed—mocked by the international media. She has been publicly labeled a “slut” and a “crazy whore.” A longtime writer, Deidre’s novel Expat has too been hurtfully deemed an “erotic” or “pornographic” book.

“The UK Tabloids are always looking to sexually demean any woman who comes into the public eye. I think that is what happened to me. In the UK the Paparazzi followed me like I was walking around naked. I did learn an important lesson: never back down in the face of fear. Never back down if the system fails you completely.”

As I attended college, I wrote papers on the subject; and throughout my life and career, I’ve always helped women.”

Dr. JoAnn Fisher’s commitment to advancing Women Veterans is driven by a deeply personal connection to her work. A Navy Veteran, Dr. Fisher knows first hand the challenges female military members face when they retire from active duty.

This company was started due to bakery owner, Toula’s children’s’ dietary restrictions which were diagnosed over ten years ago due to allergies. These dietary restrictions forced them to change their eating habits and these changes have drastically improved their overall well-being. Now, everyone in her family follows a well balanced, allergen free, gluten free diet and the results have been extraordinary. Since then, Toula became passionate about wanting to help others dealing with the same food allergy challenges which led to the birth of 2B Whole Bakery.

With that in mind, we focus on the quality of our baked products by using over 80% organic ingredients, and local ingredients when available depending on the season.
