Connecting the Customer, the Business & the Tech | AI Integration Consultant, Speaker/Trainer
District of Columbia, United States
I bring a unique combination of AI expertise, behavioral design, strategic communication, change management, and storytelling to help audiences move from overwhelm to meaningful action. My sessions are designed for leaders, teams, and organizations that want more than inspiration. They want practical frameworks, clear next steps, and real-world applications they can immediately put to work. What makes my approach different is that I help audiences connect the customer, the business, and the product (the tech). Instead of focusing only on tools, I help people understand how technology decisions impact human behavior, business outcomes, adoption, communication, and growth. Whether I'm delivering a keynote, facilitating a workshop, providing technical AI training, or supporting organizational change initiatives, my goal is the same: helping people focus on what matters most and confidently navigate an increasingly complex world. If your audience is feeling overwhelmed by AI, struggling with adoption, or trying to determine where to focus their time and energy, I'm the speaker, trainer, and strategic partner who can help them move forward.

Traveling Hermit. Author, Spiritual Guide, and Ordained OneSpirit Minister
United Kingdom

(1)
Lauren Gabrielle Foster is an author, spiritual guide, and ordained OneSpirit Minister who sold everything at fifty-eight and set out to wander the globe with purpose. Now sixty, she writes, teaches, and speaks from wherever she happens to be, drawing on decades of study and a life rebuilt entirely from the inside out. Her work sits at the intersection of spirituality, identity, and freedom. Not as theory. As lived practice. She spent ten years alone in the Appalachian mountains after walking away from corporate life, and has since traveled to more than seventeen countries, leading communities and teaching practices that help women find their own authority rather than following someone else's. She is the creator of Everyday Magic: The Sacred Ordinary, a Substack publication and membership community for women in the second half of life who are done with dogma but not done with depth. Her book, Happy and Free on Purpose, is a guide to mastering your own perspective and crafting a life entirely your way. Her talks draw on training in breathwork, interfaith ministry, ancestral healing, meditation, and nature-based practice. She holds additional certifications in meditation teaching, life mastery coaching, and ancestral health, but mostly she draws on what actually happened. The corporate years. The decade of solitude. The moment she sold her last possession and bought a plane ticket. What she found when she stopped performing a life and started creating one. She speaks to women who already sense they have been living someone else's story. Her job is not to convince them. It is to show them what true sovereignty feels like.

3rd Generation World Champion | Keynote Speaker | Performance Strategist
New York, United States
AT A GLANCE David Holloway - 3rd Generation World Champion | Keynote Speaker | Performance Strategist Helps leaders build championship-level clarity - so teams execute at a high level, even under pressure through keynotes, trainings, and executive advisory work. Creator of The Performance 4 Framework Signature Keynotes: • Championship Performance Starts with Clarity • Championship Culture: Built to Win. Designed to Last Background: Former underdog walk-on → All-Star NFL competitor (Arizona Cardinals, Super Bowl XLIII) About: A former overlooked walk-on underdog, who beat the odds to become an all-star frontline competitor and helped lead the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII, David understands firsthand what separates talented teams from championship teams. But his story began long before the stadium lights. Raised in a family where excellence was the standard - the son of Super Bowl captain Brian Holloway and grandson of two-time Stanley Cup Champion Johnny “Pie” McKenzie - David grew up inside elite performance environments. “I didn’t study championship teams - I was raised in one.” Today, David translates those lessons into practical leadership systems for Fortune 500 companies and enterprise organizations navigating growth, change, and performance plateaus. Over the past decade, he has evolved into a trusted executive trainer and advisor, equipping leaders to raise standards and execute with clarity. What sets David apart is not the story alone - it’s the structure behind it. Clients don’t hire him for inspiration; they hire him for a repeatable execution model that leaders can apply immediately. His work centers on The Performance 4 - a leadership execution model designed to eliminate inconsistency and align teams under pressure. Forged inside championship environments and refined through years of enterprise leadership training, the model focuses on four non-negotiables of sustained performance: Direction – Where we’re going and why it matters Standards – The behaviors that define excellence Feedback – The conversations that drive improvement Identity – The mindset that sustain performance When leaders create clarity across these four areas, teams don’t just improve - they perform at a higher level and sustain it. Through keynotes and executive training, David helps leaders: • Align teams around what matters most • Elevate accountability without burnout • Strengthen trust and communication • Execute under pressure • Sustain performance through growth and change This isn’t motivational theory. It’s a performance operating system leaders can apply immediately. David’s work has been trusted by leading organizations including: PepsiCo, Xerox, Caterpillar, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Yelp, Century 21, and Biogen. He has also earned recognition from leaders including Colin Powell, Bill Russell, Ethel Kennedy, and President George W. Bush. Excellence is not just part of David’s message - it is part of his lineage. Raised among elite competitors and national leaders, including three college presidents, he carries forward a legacy rooted in discipline, leadership, and impact. From underdog walk-on to championship competitor to trusted leadership voice, David Holloway teaches a principle forged through experience: When leaders raise their standards and create clarity, teams don’t just compete - they rise.

Erin Jones-Wesley doesn't fit neatly into any one box — and that's exactly the point. She is a media personality, creator, podcast host, speaker, and founder of EJW Media. She holds an MFA from the American Film Institute Conservatory and a BA from California State University, Long Beach, and she was the first woman in her family to earn either degree. But her story didn't start in a classroom or a writers' room. It started on a pitcher's mound. Erin earned a full athletic scholarship to Cal State Long Beach, where she became a Division I NCAA softball pitcher, broke program records that still stand today — 728 strikeouts, 84 wins, and 148 appearances — and was later inducted into the university's Athletics Hall of Fame. She went on to play professionally, earning a bronze medal on the international stage and a platform as an ESPN color analyst. That career taught her everything Hollywood later confirmed: that excellence is a habit, that preparation is the only shortcut, and that the people who last are the ones who do the work before anyone is watching. When Erin pivoted to entertainment, she brought that same discipline with her. She built her way into Hollywood with no industry connections — just an AFI recommendation from a former studio head and an unwavering belief that she belonged in the room. At AFI, she didn't just earn her MFA. She also competed as Miss Santa Monica USA, placing 2nd Runner Up at Miss California USA in January 2020 — a detail that tells you everything you need to know about how Erin moves through the world: fully, and on multiple fronts at once. She became a Creative Executive at Lionsgate, where she developed an eclectic and ambitious slate of projects: the psychological thriller The Housemaid, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, the star-studded Another Simple Favor, and Now You See Me Now You Don't, among others. She understood early that the best stories don't just entertain — they move people, shift culture, and leave something behind. Along the way, she co-founded The 42 Initiative, a nonprofit that raised over $1 million and brought Little League baseball back to Inglewood — because access to the game that shaped her should never be a privilege. In 2025, Erin made a deliberate choice to leave the traditional Hollywood ladder and build something entirely her own. Today, EJW Media reaches over 3 million people monthly across TikTok and Instagram, with an audience of adults ages 18 to 44 who come for the pop culture commentary and stay for the perspective. Warm, witty, and deeply informed, Erin covers film, television, reality TV, the creator economy, and the cultural moments that matter — the way you would with your most plugged-in friend. She co-hosts Like Us Pod, a RHOBH recap podcast with her sister Danielle, and has appeared as a guest on Bravo While Black, Breaking Into Hollywood with James Lott, and The Bravo Investigator. She has spoken at Comic-Con panels, film industry events, high school career days, and softball opening ceremonies, carrying the same message to every room: the ladder is real, the climb is worth it, and you don't have to look like anyone who came before you to reach the top. Erin Jones-Wesley is what happens when a Hall of Fame pitcher, a Hollywood insider, and a natural-born storyteller decide to stop waiting for permission.

Somewhere during every presentation, every sales conversation, every leadership meeting, and every life-changing decision, people cross an invisible line. It's the moment they stop resisting and start believing. International keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and founder of **WHEN Stories™**, Wendy Babcock has spent years studying why some messages are forgotten while others change lives.

Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur and speaker, Wendy spent more than twenty years in healthcare, where she witnessed firsthand that the conversations people remember are rarely built on statistics alone. They're built on humanity. Today, Wendy is the creator of **WHEN Stories™**, a media company helping experts transform one meaningful story into an authority platform that opens doors, builds trust, and creates opportunities. Her work has helped professionals become more visible, more memorable, and more impactful in a world where genuine human connection matters more than ever.
