My passion is the topic "love what you do". I support my clients to love what they do - finally, again or even more than they do already. It's not just about work - it's about interacting with others and yourself, it's about communication, free-time and life's circumstances. I am a self-employed coach since 2011, a podcaster and speaker. Before this I worked nine years as an employee, for example for an international consultancy. I studied economics and went from having the focus just on being rational to also listen to my guts and respect my feelings.

Hello my name is Uledus Roseman and I'm a motivational speaker and lifestyle coach. I was born October 13 ,1966 and was raised by my grandmother in Sedalia Missouri. When I was eight years old, my grandmother sent me to Oakland California to live with my mother ,the strongest woman I have ever known. Due to an abusive marriage to my step father, my mother kept me in and out of Hamilton Junior High School. Not being able to stay in school on a regular basis, I soon developed a learning disability and ended up in special education. Because of my learning disability I wasn't able to graduate from Smith Cotton High School with a high school diploma. Instead , I was given a certificate of faithful attendance. At that moment, I thought I would not amount to anything. At the age of 24, I moved to St Paul, Minnesota to live with some of friends with only 50 bucks in my pocket. It wasn't long until I became addicted to drugs and alcohol. At the age of 35, I chose to go to Minneapolis Community and Technical College, and it changed my life forever. It gave me the facts, information, and skills that I needed to achieve a degree in addiction counseling. After that I was able to help people overcome their addiction to drugs and alcohol and fully develop their character and abilities. My own personal journey, and the belief that with hard work and effort people can change for the better, is the fire that fuels me to become a motivational speaker and lifestyle coach.

I received my B.S. Information Systems from Indiana Wesleyan University and my M.B.A. with an Information Technology focus from Southern New Hampshire University. I love technology and how it makes us more efficient and effective in our daily lives. Throughout my career the main component that remains true is technology moves fast. The joy however, is learning those new, fast moving concepts and ideas and implementing them into the environment. If practitioners of technology don’t stay current, they quickly fall behind. I have lived the vast majority of my childhood and all of my adult life in Indianapolis. I am a proud graduate of North Central High School. I have seen a lot of change in our city and state over the years. I attended Beaulah Missionary Church where charity and caring about members of the community were a high priority. I have been a volunteer for MEPI, Minority Engineering Programs of Indianapolis for 8 years helping to prepare girls and other minority students for post-secondary education in the STEM fields. I believe our leadership in the Indiana General Assembly should work in the same way as practitioners of technology, learning new concepts and ideas on how to move the Hoosier state forward in a more efficient and effective way; staying current on the issues that affect all Hoosiers; ensuring we do not fall behind. All the while being fiscally sound in our decision making. In order to do that we must be willing to examine different options on how to accomplish these goals. This was the main reason why I ran for Indiana House of Representatives; District 88 in 2016. It is now the time to consider new ideas on how to move Indiana forward. It is now the time for a fresh voice, a voice that represents all of Indiana and those values. I am not simply running to hold an office; I am an advocate for staying current on what affects all Hoosiers. Although our campaign came up short, I continue to work with our state Democrat party to engage communities, work with candidates and elected officials and spread the Democrat message to 92 counties. My ability to move people with my words was a discovery that would forever change my life. I have traveled around my beautiful state engaging and inspiring Democrats on continuing the work on public education, the environment, collective bargaining, affordable health care and many issues that matter to people. It is a joy to spread this positive and enthusiastic message of engagement and civic duty. Are you looking for someone to get people fired up about your mission? Do you need someone with the ability to mobilize people into action? Areas of knowledge include: Social Media Consultant. Information Technology and how it will improve your business. Getting technology in the hands of girls and minorities at an early age. Why we need a diversified work space and what does that look like. Political involvement is for everyone.
