Claire Zammit has figured out the collaboration secret, using feminine principles & values to create a successful life. Before you think this is a male vs.

female bandwagon, consider that it’s not about gender. Claire co-founded Evolving Wisdom, listed as #83 in Inc. Magazine’s 2013 500 fastest-growing, privately held companies in the nation. Claire says masculine principles are not “bad.” It’s not the only approach to create our world. Human nature wants intimacy, relatedness, creative expression, community & meaningful contribution. We have cultivated a masculine version of power, & it’s time to awaken the feminine in all of us. Join Cheryl Esposito & Claire Zammit to hear this perspective on Feminine Power.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Deirdre Hade, a spiritual teacher and visionary leader in the ancient arts of the wisdom traditions. She is founder of the Foundation for Radiance, a non-profit center dedicated to healing those who have suffered from trauma, pain, and loss.

It is time to bring to life the wisdom traditions and ancient truths of sages and prophets, and make them new again. We have much to learn, and Deirdre wants us to begin with our self.

A teacher of peace, Deirdre believes that to end all war, we have to end the war within; make peace with our self; understand that we are connected to all beings, to the earth, to the stars; to shift our view of blame, to one of compassion. It is from here that leaders can truly see possibility, shape the future, make a true difference in the world.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Dawa Tarchin Phillips, CEO, Empowerment Holdings and former Director of Education,Center for Mindfulness and Human Potential,University California Santa Barbara. Is your leadership about Power or Trust? Dawa says 'we are moving from the Age of Information to the Age of Meaning'- the requirements of leadership have transformed. Leaders who over-invest in their power are destined to fail. Their currency is fear. Showing vulnerability risks power loss. Leaders for the Age of Meaning know: power and influence comes from strength and flexibility. They invest in inspiring the trust and confidence in others. They develop people and create meaning in work: they are comfortable with uncertainty. Self-awareness is paramount. Dawa says “…your leadership stands and falls with the quality of your presence, the clarity of your mind, the health of your relationships and your courage in taking skillful action.” Join Cheryl Esposito and Dawa Tarchin Phillips exploring Leadership in the Age of Meaning!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Cynthia James, inspirational leader in the field of personal transformation, international speaker, coach, and best-selling author. Her newest book Does My Voice Matter? A Journey of Self-Discovery, Authenticity and Empowerment, captures our imagination as we explore “what if’s” of our own story, name the signature moments of our life, and vision what else is mine to do with this life?”

Cynthia's experience of great successes and what felt like epic fails, catalyzed her to transform her pattern. She decided that no situation has the power to hijack your life - unless you let it. Cynthia began to understand that those fails - they typically were prefaced with part of her shutting down. “...my entire life had been about silencing my voice to be safe.”

Join Cheryl Esposito with Cynthia James … your voice matters more than you know!
