Since 2014, he has also served as chairman of an early learning coalition in his county, supporting programs that give young children a strong start. These responsibilities reflect his view that education at every stage creates opportunity for families and communities.

He has served on regional economic development and visitor-focused boards that work closely with community leaders and elected officials. Through these roles, he has supported efforts to strengthen local business growth, education, and job creation.

People want the best possible lives, the best possible success, right? Astute seekers recognize that no matter the success, there always seems to be a missing piece. This most essential missing piece illudes us because it is "behind the scenes". My presentations clarify and help people "see the invisible". When they do, it can never be denied again. YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THIS IN REAL-TIME IN MY PRESENTATIONS! o Locking In the “Something More” that All Human Beings Seek: Integrating the Three Core Truths with Direct Experience Unlocks Your Ultimate Realization Deeply "spiritual" but non-religious - and grounded in science and self-validation - my presentations facilitate tangible realizations and insights that have immediate and lasting practical value. What is the value of such realizations? A life cannot be fulfilled or successful without knowing oneself. Not a definition or description but a direct experience in which there remains no doubt. This is where true contentment and joy naturally arise – in the connection with the divine. The speaker had this profound awakening when he was 28 years old and has been on fire ever since to love others by sharing it. No evangelism. Simply sharing with those who acknowledge their own sincere thirst. Being a psychologist, this led Craig to become a pioneer in a breakthrough in psychology that is quietly spreading worldwide. Now proven and published in professional journals, books and recordings. Attend with a mind and heart open to new insights, profound personal shifts in perception and "felt-truth", deepening feelings of the “inner sacred” – and an organically changed life. Non-religious yet applicable if you are religious. Craig has decades of proven success in psychology, therapy, coaching, personal transformation, leadership development and more. Craig is published in professional journals and the author of the recently released Amazon #1 Bestseller “Reality-Shattering Insights” – which “explores the proven ability of human beings to completely change in an instant”. This is a unique and enlightening experience. You will gain direct experience and practical take-home value. In-depth breakout and retreat opportunities tailored to your specific interests are available.

✆ 757.262.8329 | ✉ [email protected] | ⌨ youloudandclear.com Every morning before work, I’d vomit. Not from illness. From dread. Knees pressed to cold tile. Gripping the toilet. Mascara streaked. Fluorescent lights buzzing overhead like a warning. My body screamed what I couldn’t say: I Was Never Built for Corporate This life didn’t fit. From the outside? → Six-figure salary → Corporate clout → Respected title → Polished smile that said “I made it” But inside, I was unraveling. Running on caffeine, adrenaline & silent desperation. That paycheck? Not peace. It was hush money for my intuition. Then in 2009, I was laid off. What should’ve felt like failure? Felt like freedom. It stripped away the mask and forced the question I’d buried: Who am I without the performance? — I Grew Up Watching a Master Be Coached My dad, George F. Burns III, was a PGA Tour pro with 80 Top 10 finishes. I watched him move with grace under pressure. But the real edge? His coach. Steady. Unshakeable. He didn’t fix—he reflected. Even as a kid, I knew: That’s what I’m here to do. — Who I Am Now → PCC through the International Coaching Federation (only 25% of coaches hold this) → TEDx speaker → Podcast host → Trauma-informed strategist → Trained in CBT, DEI & unconscious bias → Educated at Holy Cross, UPenn, Princeton & Case Western → Improv-trained at The Second City If you can lead in chaos, you can lead anywhere. I’ve helped clients: → Scale from $4K to $132K/month → Grow a payroll firm from $30M to $100M in 9 months → Cut healthcare attrition by 50% in 12 months → Coach leaders at SHRM, Thermo Fisher, Fort Bragg & more — Who I Serve → Biotech, tech & cybersecurity leaders → UHNW families → Military & government execs → Family businesses & founders → And more They look successful. But inside? They’re asking: Is this all there is? — What I Actually Do → Create psychologically safe spaces → Help leaders name truths they’ve buried → Rewire nervous systems for sustainability → Guide deep, aligned transformation This isn’t life coaching in a blazer. This is executive soul reclamation. — Still Reading? You’re craving more than performance. You’re ready to feel like you.
