A native of Prince George’s County, Maryland, career development has been a passion for her as she has written and edited several résumés and cover letters, including her own, since high school.

Adjacently, as a first-generation college student, Mariyah graduated summa cum laude and totally debt free from Morgan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

Born on Christmas Day, 1964 and raised in a violent ghetto environment in Kingston, Jamaica, the greatest gift Devon Harris ever received was the belief that a positive attitude and a never say die philosophy would carry him farther than a sense of injustice and a heart filled with anger. A graduate of the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in England, Devon received a Queen’s Commission in December 1985 and served in the officer corps of the Jamaica Defence Force until December 1992 when he retired as a Captain. At the heart of Devon’s message are the lessons he has learned of the power of persistence over all sorts of obstacles in order to live one's best life. His mission is to bring this message of how everyone can keep on pushing and working for their dreams every day of their professional as well as personal lives. Encouraged by his commanding officer, Devon tried out for and was selected to the first Jamaican bobsled team which competed in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada. Their exploits inspired the Disney blockbuster movie Cool Runnings. Devon also competed in and was captain of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, France and the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan. The Keep On Pushing Foundation which he founded in 2006 aims to support and enhance the education of kids in disadvantaged communities around the globe by providing practical solutions to the challenges that are preventing them from getting educated. Devon also works with Right to Play as an athlete ambassador, supporting Right to Play’s efforts in using sports and play in refugee camps around the world to enhance child development and build community capacity. During the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, Devon was honored by the World Olympian Association and inducted as an Olympian For Life in recognition of the significant contribution he has made to society. As an ex-serviceman, Devon understands the commitment, sense of duty and sacrifices made by those who volunteer to serve. As a private citizen he is cognizant of the fact that the freedoms he enjoys are paid for by the courage and sacrifice of these men and women. As a result he has also devoted time to visit the troops serving in the Persian Gulf. He is the author of the motivational children’s book, Yes, I Can! and the semi-auto- biographical motivational book Keep On Pushing: Hot Lesson From Cool Runnings.

I have taught for a little over 11 years in predominantly poverty schools. In that time, I have advocated for a better educational system for teachers, poverty children, gifted children, and better work environments at the local, state, and national level. I have presented at state and national conferences. I love what I do and am less than a year from my Ed. D in Educational Supervision and Leadership with a co-emphasis in Gifted Education. I have beaten cancer once and fought immune system problems my entire teaching career to do what I loved to do. As my in-class career has come to a close, I still want to motivate and inspire people to be the best they can be, overcome any obstacle to do what it is you love, and help teachers be more effective with practical solutions, differentiated instructional strategies, and reaching difficult children. I am a teacher, just now my classroom is the world.

Kirsten de Bouter Shillam is a keynote speaker, communication specialist, and former psychologist-coach with over 30 years of experience working with business leaders, organisations, and emerging talent across Europe. Her work sits at the intersection of human communication, leadership, and change — with a particular focus on the power of the spoken word in a rapidly accelerating, AI-driven world. Kirsten is known for challenging outdated assumptions about confidence, public speaking, and leadership presence. Rather than treating communication as an innate talent, she approaches it as a learnable, practical skill — one that shapes how ideas move, decisions are made, and people lead. She works with CEOs, senior leadership teams, entrepreneurs, and high-potential professionals who need to speak clearly, credibly, and with impact — whether on stage, in the boardroom, or in moments that truly matter. Her career spans international consultancy and training work with global organisations including Oracle, TomTom, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Qualcomm, alongside extensive work in education, universities, and leadership development. Today, her focus is firmly on high-impact speaking, message clarity, and leadership communication. Kirsten is also the founder of The Human Voice Project, an ongoing research and thought-leadership initiative exploring what we are losing — and must protect — in human communication at a time of speed, automation, and noise. Her talks are thoughtful, provocative, and practical. Audiences leave not just inspired, but equipped — with a renewed understanding of how their words build their world.
