I am a former Canadian military officer and humanitarian worker specializing in post conflict and humanitarian disaster situations. He served domestically as well as in Egypt, Iraq, South Sudan, Somalia, Somaliland, Uganda and Kenya. Returning home from a six month peacekeeping mission in the middle-east in 1990, I knew that something was wrong. What followed is my journey into understanding post traumatic stress and more importantly, how people could overcome it. Today, I am the Training Director at the Research and Recognition Project (R&R) based in Corning, New York. R&R is headed by Dr. Frank Bourke, a former Cornell University professor and one of the world`s leading experts into evidence based interventions that cure PTSD. I train licensed mental healthcare practitioners in a new neurological intervention - the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol. The RTM Protocol has a greater than 92% success rate curing PTSD - without drugs and without the client re-living the traumatic experience - in as little as three, ninety minute RTM Protocol Sessions. I will be conducting twenty, five day RTM Protocol trainings across North America in 2019, starting with Walter Reed Hospital in January. My presentation, "Life after Post Traumatic Stress", provokes and moves people to action. In it, I demonstrate the falsehoods and dangers associated with words like disorder and illness, the costs associated with post traumatic stress, that post traumatic stress can be cured - that there is life after a traumatic event.

Born and raised in Homewood, IL, Jason Shepherd dreamed of playing professional baseball for the Chicago Cubs and becoming an accomplished music songwriter and producer. He and his older brother were surrounded by music both at home and at their childhood church where his parents served faithfully. This foundation not only nurtured his musical talents but also fostered his love for serving people. Jason gave his life to Christ at a young age and became an active part of the youth choir ministry. Upon graduating high school, he entered Columbia College Chicago as a music major and earned a BA in music in 2001. Jason used his formal music education and his love for the church to begin serving as a Staff Musician and Minister of Music in his childhood church. During this time Jason also felt a strong pull to launch his career as a gospel recording artist. In 2005 he released his first album “Songs Vol. 1” with his group Another Level. This project afforded him the opportunity to write and produce for other artists within the gospel community. His musical efforts have also allowed for him to record and release 5 full albums and multiple singles. Jason’s passion for serving people through preaching and teaching sparked a desire to go further within ministry. In 2017 Jason became an ordained elder in the Church of God in Christ, making him a 3rd generation “elder” in his family (grandfather, father, uncle, and brother). In 2018 Jason partnered with his father Josephus and his brother Dr. Jonathan Shepherd to launch the Shepherd Training and Empowerment Institute; a company geared towards leadership development and coaching. This new family endeavor also prompted him to create the life coaching firm “UP Coaching: Unleashed Purpose” to help people create massive visions for their life and develop the necessary tools to act fearlessly in achieving their strategic goals. Jason married the love of his life Stacie in 2005. They have a genuine friendship and partnership that continues to grow by the day. They have 2 loving children, Brooke and Jonah. Currently residing in Los Angeles, CA, Jason’s mission is for people to discover the perfection that God has placed inside of themselves. He has a goal to reach 50 million people across this world through his music, books, motivational speaking, preaching, and other forms of media content.

She is a Christian pacesetter in the spiritual world of mental health. Her wisdom, knowledge, and leadership skills came through grad school (Creative Writing Master of Fine Arts Program), undergrad in Education (Bachelor in Educational Studies), being coached and mentored by the great Les Brown as a speaker, certification as Clinical Trauma Specialist, a diploma in Ministerial Studies, and Operations Specialists-Navy Veteran. She is also a former public and private school teacher who became skilled in planning, organization, strategy, and methodology development, covering life skills development, career readiness, and social-emotional workshops based on fixed mindset versus growth mindset. Her life's journey has taken her through many doors and allowed her to sit at great tables in her professional and personal life. Kristie believes writing to share her stories in ways that depict triumph enabled her to bring others along. Her research and experience in the areas of mental health (anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder), mindfulness and meditation (how it connects to neuroscience), and social-emotional learning are what prompted her to create a course and workbook titled 'Put That Shhhh In A Book-How To Tell Your Story Without Telling Your Business.' Kristie is bold. She is not afraid to use her story as a guide to help other women overcome their identity challenges as she did. She overcame childhood bullying, lesbianism, abandonment, mental unhealth like anxiety and depression, people-pleasing, and the fear of failure. Her ability to stand on her story is what catapults God's message of grace and generosity through her books, courses, workshops, and retreats. Her testimony of transformation is an inspiration and encouragement to young women worldwide. As an ordained minister, book writing consultant, and mindset coach, Kristie has several opportunities to instill bravery in women fearful of sharing their stories. She desires to teach women to tell their stories, talk about the triumph, and communicate through creative writing. She believes that they can receive transformation, uncover intentional life, and deliver their gifts to the world through writing, creating books, podcasting, blogs, speaking, and other ways to reach people waiting on deliverance. Kristie says, "If you want to change, that's a good start. But be brave enough to do what it takes to make the change and be prepared to take your mask off in front of others. Don't save face because the face that matters is the one God sees first."
