Melissa Packwood has devoted her life to teaching. She found a renewed sense of purpose after opening her own business and working with children who have special needs and their families to provide positive and meaningful educational experiences. As a mother to three children with special needs, she has seen the benefits of providing enriching experiences though this often means thinking outside of the box. Melissa's experience includes working in public schools, teaching ESOL, and tutoring students with special needs. She holds a master’s degree in reading and literacy and an ESE graduate certificate from Walden University. She has a current Florida teaching certificate which includes Early Childhood, Reading, and ESOL endorsements. Her goal is to enrich the lives of others by educating schools and families about ESE students' rights as well as by helping schools and universities become more developmentally appropriate for ESE students' individual needs. Topics often requested include educational models, discipline, sensory rich environments, pathological demand avoidance, autism, down syndrome, behavior challenges, ways to support ese students in college, parent encouragement and support, and more! Melissa believes that there is a way for every student to learn and it is the job of the teacher to find that way. Together we will create an even better education system by working with the differences in learning styles of students using developmentally appropriate practices.

I'm Shelly! My Story starts in the Fall of 2017 where my husband Matt and I were Niave enough to think that we could get pregnant just in time to have a spring time baby. Well, little did we know we were living in some sort of fantasy world because shit just wasn't going to be that easy. The next 365 days would be followed with loss after loss after loss after loss. For becoming a part of a 1 in 4 statistic this shit was LONELY MAN. With 4 Miscarriages under my belt I started doubting myself, my doctor, my husband, god, and just about everything. But Luckily, I'm a relentless little Fucker because Infertility isn't gunna win this Battle, NO SIRY. And that My Friends is the Story I have begun to tell!

Founder and Executive Director
Hello, my name is Catherine Plano. And I am here to help you tap into your greatest potential. I’m guessing you’ve reached this place because you are looking for guidance. Well, then, how may I serve you? What are you seeking? In this day and age, the world is crying out for leaders. We need more authentic leaders to truly make a difference. In essence, to stand in your truth is to be a leader. Leadership is defined by the way you think and the way you behave. This, my dearest, is a game-changer. I know exactly what is getting in your way and holding you back from becoming an incredible leader. It all starts with you. My mission is to help as many individuals like you to transform and create a vibrant, fulfilling life by tapping into their superpowers, finding the leader within and drawing on their greatest assets to bring out their fullest possible potential. It’s time we all stepped up and developed the mindset of a leader. All of us. We all play different roles as a leader in many different areas of our lives. Think about the role of mums and dads at home, teaching toddlers to walk and talk. Or teenagers, organising the school social or captains of sports teams. We tend to think of ‘leaders’ as being part of the workforce, or part of the political sphere. However, there are leaders everywhere, woven into every fibre that makes up the fabric of our society. Our inner leader shows up most when we are composed, focused, driven by inspiration, when we motivate those around us with our passion and our enthusiasm. I believe that traditional paradigms of leadership are outdated and no longer suited for today’s high-paced, tech-savvy environments. We are at the cutting edge of new models of leadership that are changing the world for the better, growing corporations to new heights and creating healthier lives for all of us. There is a real science and an alchemy approach to leadership. I have learned so much along my journey in leadership over the 25 years working with corporations and running my own company, and I am still learning. This is why I share my wisdom and those ‘aha’ moments and insights through my books, blogs, podcast, programmes and workshops. You have the potential, my dearest, to expand beyond your wildest dreams. Why not make a life, not just a living? Why ever settle for second best? Don’t just survive. It’s time to thrive. Your inner leader awaits. More on meet Catherine; https://www.catherineplano.com.au/about/meet-catherine/

Graduating high-school at only the age of 16, Founder of Fuel4Life Matt Young set out to change the world. Better known as Matt Chambers in the professional wrestling world, this young man has had quite a journey from that young age of 16 to now 28. Succeeding in making over a million dollars and falling inches within filing bankruptcy, Matt finally struck gold once again when he partnered up with his former trainer and mentor WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, forming the new and improved Fuel4Life. The philosophy Booker and Matt brings to the schools, under privileged children, young adults, and even aspiring or current entrepreneurs is nothing short of life changing and phenomenal! Booker T gives our clients his in-depth journey to and through the obstacles, life hazards, and his roads to success that led him to the man he is today! Owning and being “on the scene” of his Flagship of Texas professional wrestling company, Reality of Wrestling, Booker T molds, trains, and even mentors a lot of the new faces you see on T.V. today in his World Gym Arena in Texas City, Tx. Matt shows the youth of the generation just how the laws to success are exact and uses examples from Booker’s life story, Bob Proctor’s teaching of the Law of Vibration and Attraction, and even goes in depth on the studies of Napoleon Hill and his book Think and Grow Rich. Whether you come from poverty or prosperity, this dynamic duo is sure to not disappoint. “From Prison to Promise” is not only Booker T’s book but one of the best ways to describe just how deep these events get! For so long the “secrets to life” have been kept from us only because we have not reached high enough on the bookshelf to find and understand the greatest force in which we’re dealing with. Our own mind! “If we change and monitor our internal thoughts and desires, life it-self will manifest, whatever you will it to, into its equivalent physical form. It’s not my law, it’s the law!” - Matt Young
