Create, Achieve, Excel. Those are three of my core values. I believe that we create opportunities for ourselves and others by setting goals and objectives that bring value to society. We achieve those goals when we work together, set real and tangible objectives and strive toward success. We excel when we give our best effort at what we do. These values are important at both an individual level and an organizational level. Customers, clients and stake holders deserve the best services and products that we can provide them. Contributors to any team already have the necessary skills. They just need to be planted in an environment where they can grow. I give them the tools they need to succeed.

Hey! I'm Sarah Jo and I like to work with professional speakers and authors, because well, they're just awesome people with awesome ideas. And given I'm also a professional speaker, I feel their pains on a deep deep level. I do a lot of things, web development, design, and a whole lot of writing, but there is only one thing I truly believe I "do." And that's help people make the world awesome. Sure, I do that through digital strategy, but my main goal isn't to build the most websites or have the biggest client list. My goal always has been and always will be make cool stuff for nice people. So if you're a nice person or you like cool stuff, let's connect.

“I could have just one drink” I thought. After all, I had already earned my one year coin. I had it all under control and I liked the idea of having a glass of wine with my meals—it was how I imagined my life to be. The next morning, after my “one drink,” still groggy as the room came into focus, red vomit covered me and my bathroom walls. I had zero memory of going to the liquor store, purchasing two more bottles of wine, driving back home, or wherever. Who knows? It was that moment when I realized my recovery had only scratched the surface, I needed to go deeper into myself if I was going to succeed. Through connecting with others MartinJon found and developed a method of seeing all things as a reflection of self. The Self Portrait Method shows people that everything they've created in their lives is a self portrait. They are taught to examine themselves through the lives they are living, changing and growing every day. Martin has been connecting through actual portraiture for over 18 years. This new process has been developed for those who already have an awareness of self but are looking to have a hard honest look at themselves. Specialties: Mindfulness, Recovery, Life Coaching, Healing

My name is Rachel Wells. I was born and raised in a single parent home, with no support from anyone, except my mother. Everyone breathed negativity over me. They said I would be a statistic, a failure. They told my mother to abort me. But despite being raised without a father, and experiencing the harsh reality and emotional turmoil that comes with it as a teenager; despite the negative predictions of others, I have risen and proved them all wrong! I am confident, happy, and optimistic about life. I am doing what I most love doing-- motivating and inspiring others, through my story, that they too can be successful, despite what they have been through. I especially enjoy talking to young people, especially disadvantaged teens, who may have or are currently facing rejection and abuse. I inspire people from all walks of life to pursue their dreams and goals, and teach them their value, and the power of their minds.

MY INTENTION IS TO EMPOWER YOU TO REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE...A POWERFUL, CREATIVE BEING. I have been titled many things – spiritual therapist, life coach, sacred counselor, mind chiropractor (one of my personal favorites) – yet, whatever I am named, I simply know that nothing ignites my heart more than to walk with individuals, assisting them as they wake up to experiencing their own inner greatness! This is what I live for. The opportunity to witness the expansion of others and hold them in a space of deep acceptance is profound; and I am humbled and honored by it with every breath I take!
