He wrote The Real Rules of Life: Balancing Life’s Terms with Your Own; & just released, Courageous Aging: Your Best Years Ever Reimagined.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Alan Cohen, author, speaker and teacher dedicated to helping you reveal your own deep well of wisdom, your genius. His work inspires us to consider “the life well-lived,” & offers ways to live it ourselves. He teaches how to extract lessons from the practical experiences of daily living, & find beauty in the seeming mundane. Alan tells us “You deserve far more than you have been settling for. Rather than hardship, you are heir to boundless love, forgiveness, prosperity, & healing.” When we are settling, our true nature - our integrity with self – is out of sync with our life.You are in integrity when the life you are living on the outside matches who you are on the inside. It takes practice: tuning in to how things feel; tuning into our body; understanding when things feel off - they are off, & so are we. Are you ready to be true to yourself & live your full integrity? Join Cheryl Esposito & Alan Cohen & say yes to your wisdom & genius for a life well-lived.

And…is authentic to you?” Join Cheryl Esposito and Dr. Ray Blanchard to explore The New Leadership Model: Leading Together!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Steve Farber, president & founder Extreme Leadership. Best-selling author: Greater Than Yourself: The Ultimate Lesson In Leadership & The Radical Leap: A Personal Lesson in Extreme Leadership.

Steve Farber had to make a change. His successful Wall Street business was killing him - physically & emotionally. Fast-forward to today with a successful business advising leaders on Wall Street & elsewhere, he is a happy, passionate man, loving life. He knew: aligning his values & his work would feed his spirit; loving his work would pay dividends – personally & to the bottom line. Love in leadership? Not always easy. Daily, leaders make changes, empower people, & put themselves on the line resulting in success or failure. You can fear that & not take action, or see fear as a reality in business. Steve says fear would not be worth it without love of the game. Easy to do? You be the judge. Join Cheryl Esposito & Steve Farber for leadership to the extreme - with love!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes John Renesch, global futurist, humanitarian, & author, passionate about business, human consciousness & possible scenarios for our future. His latest book The Great Growing Up: Being Responsible for Humanity’s Future is Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2013 Grand Prize winner. A businessperson & CEO who started, ran, & sold enterprises, John says commerce is key in shifting human consciousness to create a future of possibility that will allow humanity to transcend the inevitable future being projected from current trends. We are future shapers. We play a role in how the world will be tomorrow, next year & coming generations.

John’s challenge: give conscious thought to what we want, rather than passively sitting around while a random or even “accidental future” reveals itself. And, while we’re at it, stop pretending that what we are doing has no impact on the future. (Note to self: no excuses!) Join Cheryl Esposito & John Renesch to explore Future Shaping!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Sandra Joseph, a history-making Broadway star turned author and speaker. For nearly a decade, she played one of the best-known roles in Broadway history: Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera. Her new book is Unmasking What Matters: 10 Life Lessons from 10 Years on Broadway.

Sandra’s extraordinary journey includes transforming her own life from being too afraid to sing in public (yes, really!) to becoming the longest-running leading lady in Broadway’s longest-running show. When asked, ‘How did you overcome the fear?’ she says, “…I really never did. I learned how to work with it. …I had to master walking into fear. Making friends with that feeling is my path to awakening.”

Are you ready to know who you are beyond the roles you play, to choose love over fear, to live an unmasked life that is fueled by meaning, joy, and purpose? Join Cheryl Esposito & Sandra Joseph to see what life can be like when you choose to live beyond the fear.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Christian author, speaker, and ordained minister Beth Misner. Beth is founder and current director of the Journey Center of Claremont, a Christ-based center for spirituality, healing & wholeness. She is Corporate Vice Chair of BNI (Business Network International), & Co-Founder of BNI Foundation. Beth’s approach to spirituality invites conversation to explore, rather than divide with dogma. She was inspired to write her book, Jesus and the Secret: Where the Word of God and the Law of Attraction Intersect, when she saw that the Bible teaches some of the same principles as the law of attraction. This did not come without controversy as many Christian authors and experts differed in their perspectives. Having grown up in a conservative religious family, it was expected Beth would become a pastor’s wife. That all changed as she experienced the world and carved her own path. Join Cheryl Esposito and Beth Misner for a conversation on the evolution of spirituality.
