Leading Conversations

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Carl Studna, world-renowned photographer, teacher, and author of CLICK! Choosing Love…One Frame at a Time.

Carl’s intimate portraits of influential people ranging from Paul McCartney to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, are published and known

worldwide. Why do photos matter? Carl says they are a “split moment

in time” that is forever stilled. His work is to love the moment into being…with patience, compassion, and a way of seeing that allows the moment to reveal itself. People often tell him that they hate having their photo taken – even celebrities whose photos are seen around the world. Carl sees his role as helping them through the door of self-doubt, self-judgment and fear of being seen a certain way. Carl has created the LuminEssence Method©, a transformative process to help people show up in full presence of who they are…in front of the camera and beyond. Join Cheryl Esposito and Carl Studna to learn to allow your essential self to be revealed…Click!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Geneen Roth, bestselling author of Women Food & God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything; and Lost & Found: One

Woman’s Story of Losing Her Money & Finding Her Life. How do you

know when enough is enough? Geneen Roth has spent her adult life discerning the ways we are enough, have enough, get enough, give enough.

Geneen became a successful go-to guru helping others discover life-limiting beliefs & behaviors. So, imagine the surprise when she discovered there was more to that story…it was about money. The patterns of belief she had transformed about food, were alive & well when it came to abundance.

Her story includes Bernie Madoff, & leads her to deeply understand the concept of enough. “Enough is not an amount…it’s a relationship with what you already have.” Join Cheryl Esposito & Geneen Roth for Stumbling on Happiness: Enough IS Enough!

Former Washington D.C. Office Dir., Amnesty International; co-author The Social Healing Project; & past president, Institute of Noetic Sciences. Does peace begin with me? Yes. Peace is a way of being. “We are in an evolution of consciousness & the time to activate our will- NOT our willfulness- is now.” Acknowledge our personal narratives - self, others, the world. Any lineage, culture, economic level - each of us hold narratives about self & other. “When our narratives begin to crumble, our very sense of self is shaken. Yet seeing the falseness of what we have always been told to be true can lead to acknowledgment of a much broader reality, which may incorporate the truths of others.” Join Cheryl Esposito & James O’Dea for The Power of Narrative & The Way of Peace.

He sees deep connection to self and to nature as key to successful and sustainable organizations that make a difference to our future. How do we do this in a world that values short-term results and immediate gratification? A world where we are told to leave our emotions outside of work and focus on killing the competition? Join Cheryl Esposito & Dr. Peter Senge as they explore leadership and the field of the future!
