At a very young age, Nat Couropmitree, life coach and founder of ProsperityLighthouse.com, remembers asking himself, “Why am I here? What’s my purpose?” Growing up, he kept on asking himself these questions and often found no real value in his existence or any lasting happiness. Nat thought something was wrong with him, and he strove to fix it. He participated in many personal growth programs; he jumped from job to job, career to career, one business opportunity to the next. Each new experience brought excitement, inspiration, and success, but none of it was lasting. None of it was enough until Nat changed the way he approached his life. It was through his struggles and frustrations that Nat discovered a new way of living that inspires him every day. He joins us to share new perspectives and steps you can take to feel fulfilled and to enjoy a life with purpose. Nat Couropmitree supports clients internationally as a life coach and as the host of the popular weekly radio show, Law of Attraction Success Radio. He supports his clients to see the root cause of their frustrations, challenges, and struggles and then effectively empowers them to shift away from those patterns. He supports his clients to reinforce and expand their new and improved reality by helping them develop new self-nurturing habits. Nat is very skilled at taking the insurmountable and transforming it into the doable through the use of simple action steps. He loves helping his clients to see that they already have within them all the tools they need to make the profound life changes they desire.

Although she's had an active and fulfilling life, Betty Liedtke found herself questioning her worth and value in the marketplace when, in her mid-50s, she tried--and failed--to identify her own special and unique qualities.

She became doubly frustrated as she attempted to make the transition from popular Toastmasters speaker to paid professional speaker, and from weekly newspaper columnist to author of a full-length motivational memoir. Her two-year quest to find her own special gifts and unique qualifications led to the discovery that what is most special and unique about each of are gifts and talents we don’t even realize we have. They feel so common and ordinary to us that we don’t recognize their existence or value.

Betty now helps other people find their buried treasure and use their gifts to enrich themselves and the world.

Shortly after her second child was born, Betty Liedtke developed breast cancer, followed by severe heart damage from chemotherapy. These experiences taught her firsthand the importance of attitude, determination, and a sense of humor in dealing with anything life throws at us.

Betty is a writer, professional speaker, and Certified Dream Coach®. She is a Distinguished Toastmaster, a member of eWomenNetwork, and a graduate of the prestigious Loft MasterTrack program from the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis.

She is also the founder and CEO of “Find Your Buried Treasure,” a company whose mission is to help people discover their strength, stretch beyond their ability, and achieve their greatest dreams. One of her strongest convictions is that nothing is impossible if we want it badly enough and are willing to do the work to achieve it.

Marcy wants to help people who are thinking about divorce, separated, or already in the divorce process. The divorce statistics are staggering. Almost 50% of first marriages, 67% of second marriages, and 73% of third marriages are ending in divorce. "It’s time we do it better," Marcy asserts. "I want to help keep people out of what I call the 'legal vortex' and help put them back in the driver’s seat, rather than with lawyers or in the legal system, so they can go through the process more 'gracefully' in a way that preserves their relationships. It’s still a challenging time, but it doesn’t have to be the nightmare it turns into for so many people. Especially if children are involved, it’s important that mom and dad still be able to talk to each other and get along." Marcy Jones is an author, speaker, lawyer, coach, and advocate for change – change in the way lawyers represent clients in divorce, change in the legal system, and change in the way people divorce. She has practiced family law since 1995, going to law school after her own divorce and with two young children at home. Marcy has worked as a domestic violence prosecutor and as a private practitioner specializing in collaborative divorce and mediation. She's also a certified personal coach. She has just published her first book called Graceful Divorce Solutions: A Comprehensive and Proactive Guide to Saving You Time, Money, and Your Sanity. She wrote this book to get essential information to people BEFORE they go to a lawyer to enable them to make the best choices for themselves and their family. Her ultimate goal is to help people go through divorce better--with integrity and dignity. You can connect with Marcy at her website www.GracefulDivorceSolutions.com

Donna lives in Lakeville, MA.Donna Krone’s first 40 years of life were no different than most. She was so busy doing her best to respond to what life brought to her that she brushed away the bigger questions of designing her life. But according to developmental theorists, she was right on schedule when in her early 40s something inside her started to change. Despite a successful career as a financial planner, Donna had this nagging sense “This is not what I’m meant to be doing” and it wouldn’t stop until she paid attention. She finally listened to that inner voice and created a life of purpose and meaning in her business Sacred Conversations™. As you move into this next stage of life, Donna will show you how sacred conversations can help you develop the confidence to share what is most deeply meaningful to you with family, friends, and your broader community—what she calls legacies of the heart.
