While meditation, prayer, repetition, and hypnosis can help shift old patterns, there is a faster, more profound way to reprogram the subconscious: brainwave entrainment. By using gentle light and sound, you can guide the brain into the Theta state — the same calm, highly receptive state you’ve naturally experienced sitting by a campfire or listening to ocean waves at night. In this state, the subconscious becomes remarkably open to new, empowering beliefs, habits, and visions. Change no longer requires force or struggle. Instead, the subconscious can “wrap its arms around” new programming and accept it with ease and peace. During the course of this talk you’ll discover how to intentionally access this state and use it to transform your own results and more importantly, how to integrate this powerful tool into your work with clients and students. When your audience can deeply internalize your teachings at the subconscious level, their success rate rises dramatically, creating greater impact for them and powerful new opportunities for you. Phillip Lerdahl is the Co-Founder of Brain Aligned. He Started his first company at just 20 years old and has run multiple businesses over the years. After many years in a very painful relationship and changing his Faith, he was left weary looking for a way to take back control of his mind. This passion for the mind led him and his sons into creating the Brain Aligned process. A powerful way to tap into your mind's potential and be in control of your own subconscious. admin@Brainaligned.com https://info.brainaligned.com/home-page https://www.facebook.com/phil.lerdahl/ https://www.instagram.com/brainalignedoffical/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-lerdahl-31822313b/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

In this talk, Dr. Fred Moss, a psychiatrist of nearly forty years who left the system to challenge it, makes a provocative case: the feeling of being broken is usually not a flaw to fix but a signal worth listening to. Drawing on decades of clinical work and his own reinvention, he shows leaders how the endless drive to optimize quietly costs them presence, connection, and the very edge they are chasing. They came to dominate. They leave more human, and more powerful for it. Dr. Fred Moss is a board-certified psychiatrist with nearly five decades in mental health who now works as The UnDoctor. After forty years inside the system, he left conventional practice carrying a contrarian message: there may be nothing wrong with you, and there may never have been. Through his Welcome to Humanity platform, his Sacred Grove retreats, and his work with physicians and high performers, he helps leaders trade relentless self-fixing for something far more powerful, real human connection. He is the author of Welcome to Humanity: A Psychiatrist's Case Against the Mental Health System, a keynote speaker, and the host of more than three hundred podcast conversations. His message to driven people everywhere is simple. The world does not need you optimized. It needs you real. drfred@welcometohumanity.net welcometohumanity.net https://www.facebook.com/drfredmossmd https://www.instagram.com/drfredmoss/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfredmoss/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

You've done the courses. You've taken the action steps. So why does success still feel harder than it should? The answer isn't in your business plan — it's in your brain. River Easter, Certified Positive Intelligence Coach and founder of Ripple Effect Consulting, reveals the neuroscience behind why smart, driven entrepreneurs stay stuck — and what to do about it. Drawing from research validated with over 500,000 people worldwide, River introduces the two competing brain systems running your business: the Survivor Brain, which triggers fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism, and the Sage Brain, where creativity, clarity, focus, and confident decisions actually live. In this talk, you'll discover the hidden mental saboteurs most entrepreneurs don't know are running the show and the science-backed to take back control . You'll leave with a practical, in-the-moment method to shift out of survival mode and into your high-performing cognitive state. This isn't mindset fluff. This is brain science applied directly to your bottom line — so you can build a thriving business with more ease, flow, and results. River Easter is a Positive Intelligence Coach, founder of Ripple Effect Consulting, and the person who will show you why your biggest business obstacle isn't your strategy — it's your brain. Armed with a Master's in Organizational Development and a Neuroscience for Business Leaders certification from MIT, River helps ambitious entrepreneurs expose the mental saboteurs quietly costing them revenue, confidence, and momentum. Drawing from PQ research validated with over 500,000 people worldwide, she teaches clients to activate the Sage-brain thinking that makes success feel less like a grind and more like a flow. River is also a Certified Life Mastery Consultant with the Brave Thinking Institute and a speaker whose clients consistently report results within weeks — not years.

In this practical and inspiring talk, Peter Wilson shows entrepreneurs and business owners how to use AI as leverage to help businesses attract leads, create follow-up systems, win and retain more customers. Drawing from his background as a former Royal Navy Gunner, professional fighter, award-winning martial arts school owner, and long-time community builder, Peter explains why success comes from discipline, systems, persistence and decisive action, not hype or chasing the latest shiny software. Peter shares a strategic but straightforward framework for identifying businesses with weak or missing online systems, spotting where they are potentially losing clients, creating practical Client Acquisition Systems, and approaching business owners with value rather than pressure. This talk is designed for entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, and business owners who want to use AI to create income, serve businesses, and build something. Peter Wilson is the founder of AI Sovereign Enterprise Lab, a practical business community helping business owners use AI to build real income-producing systems without coding, tech overwhelm or hype. A former Royal Navy Gunner, former professional fighter and martial arts school owner of over 30 years, Peter has spent decades building disciplined communities both physically and online. His martial arts business was recognised with UK School Owner of the Year awards from leading industry bodies, and his experience in leadership, sales, systems and personal development now informs his work in AI business education. Through AI Sovereign Enterprise Lab, Peter teaches entrepreneurs how to find real businesses with weak online systems, create Client Acquisition Systems, build lead funnels, and approach business owners professionally using AI as leverage, not as a gimmick. p22wls@hotmail.co.uk www.invisibleaisystems.com https://www.facebook.com/Eskrimame https://www.instagram.com/ais.elab/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-wilson-a5a3872b/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

You know what vision looks like. You know the difference between a company running reactively, putting out fires all day, and one running proactively with clear expectations, a trained team, and a culture that produces results without you standing over it. Now tell me honestly. Which one are you running at home? You have given your children everything. The experiences, the opportunities, the comfort, the convenience. And somewhere in the back of your mind you already suspect that something is not working. That the more you give, the less grateful they seem. That the harder you try, the further away the peace feels. What if the problem is not your children? What if it is the environment you unknowingly built around them? In this talk you will discover why the same principles that built your business are exactly what your family has been missing. You will leave with a different lens, a clear framework, and the tools to build a home that produces champions on purpose. Because champions are not bought. They are built. And now you will know how. Bonnie Liotta spent years as a top-ten global leader in two companies, coaching high performers to build businesses that win. She was also a mother of four children diagnosed with ADHD and ODD, running out of answers. Then she discovered her husband Thomas, a martial arts instructor with an award-winning after-school program built on success principles, not conventional discipline. She brought those principles home. The constant screaming and arguing gave way to peace, harmony, and genuine cooperation. No medication. No therapy. Just transformation. That moment became a mission. Together, Bonnie and Thomas built Creating Champions For Life, walking alongside 300+ families who had been failed by every system they tried. The journey has been an adventure, lean at times and uncertain, but never once driven by fear. This is a God story. Bonnie is the author of Learn to Speak Kid and Raising Healthy, Happy, Cooperative Kids, and is co-authoring the upcoming Parent in Love with Thomas. Her mission: every child should know their greatness by age 12. She's not here to inspire you. She's here to show you it's already possible.

In this talk you will discover why the same principles that built your business are exactly what your family has been missing. You will leave with a different lens, a clear framework, and the tools to build a home that produces champions on purpose. Because champions are not bought. They are built. And now you will know how. Bonnie Liotta spent years as a top-ten global leader in two companies, coaching high performers to build businesses that win. She was also a mother of four children diagnosed with ADHD and ODD, running out of answers. Then she discovered her husband Thomas, a martial arts instructor with an award-winning after-school program built on success principles, not conventional discipline. She brought those principles home. The constant screaming and arguing gave way to peace, harmony, and genuine cooperation. No medication. No therapy. Just transformation. That moment became a mission. Together, Bonnie and Thomas built Creating Champions For Life, walking alongside 300+ families who had been failed by every system they tried. The journey has been an adventure, lean at times and uncertain, but never once driven by fear. This is a God story. Bonnie is the author of Learn to Speak Kid and Raising Healthy, Happy, Cooperative Kids, and is co-authoring the upcoming Parent in Love with Thomas. Her mission: every child should know their greatness by age 12. She's not here to inspire you. She's here to show you it's already possible.

Based on Michael Woods’ personal journey through hardship, leadership pressure, burnout, and perseverance, this talk shares real-life stories and timeless principles that remind audiences they do not have to be controlled by negativity, fear, discouragement, or circumstances. Michael teaches that staying positive is not about ignoring problems—it is about choosing faith over fear, hope over defeat, and purpose over discouragement. Through lessons from his book, he encourages individuals to guard what they allow into their minds, develop daily habits of gratitude, lean on faith during difficult seasons, and become a light to others. This talk inspires audiences to rise above adversity, renew their thinking, and live with greater confidence, strength, and purpose—no matter how negative the world around them may become. Michael Woods is retired from the grocery business and is now pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a motivational speaker and author. With 37 years of experience, he rose from humble beginnings and entry-level work to corporate leadership and co-ownership of a successful Arkansas grocery store chain generating over $40 million in annual sales. A Certified Ziglar Speaker, Trainer, and Coach, Michael shares a message of faith, resilience, and positive thinking. Through his speaking and writing, including Staying Positive in a Negative World, he encourages others to overcome adversity, guard their mindset, and live with purpose and hope. michael@michaelwoodsonline.com https://michaelwoodsonline.com/ https://www.facebook.com/michael.woods.9883 https://www.instagram.com/motivationwithmichaelwoods/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-woods-34b13586/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Lead Boldly. Win Decisively. Every business breakthrough begins with a decision. Not a hesitant decision. Not a fear-based decision. A CEO decision. In this bold and transformational talk, Christine McIver challenges business leaders to stop operating from doubt, overthinking, and self-sabotage — and start leading with clarity, authority, and conviction.

This session will empower you to: Recognize the hidden ways you dilute your leadership Eliminate the patterns that sabotage growth and momentum Strengthen your CEO mindset and decision-making power Lead your business with greater confidence, authority, and alignment Create results through decisive leadership rather than reactive action If you are ready to stop shrinking, stop second-guessing yourself, and start leading your business like the CEO you truly are, this talk will challenge and activate you in ways that change everything. Christine McIver is the Founder &amp; CEO of Inspired Choices Network, a global digital media organization broadcasting conscious business leaders on over 350 platforms worldwide through podcasting, TV, publishing, summits, and digital media visibility. As a Business Growth Specialist, intuitive strategist, speaker, and media powerhouse, Christine is known for helping entrepreneurs step into CEO-level leadership, authority, and visibility so they can build businesses that create both impact and wealth.

It's not a failure of effort. It's a failure of information. In this talk, Cory Nunes pulls back the curtain on the hidden financial gaps that quietly cost business owners real money — in payroll inefficiencies, missed tax strategies, and untapped capital opportunities. Using a simple diagnostic questionnaire, Cory walks through exactly how his firm identifies these gaps and creates a clear roadmap to recover lost revenue and stop the bleeding going forward. The challenge? Most business owners are skeptical of change — and understandably so. New solutions can feel risky. Cory addresses this head-on: every analysis is done at zero cost, with full transparency, so owners can see the opportunity before committing to anything. Attendees will walk away understanding that the right financial partnerships — built on integrity, current strategies, and industry-leading resources — can unlock capital that was always theirs. The money is there. You just need to know where to look. Cory Nunes is a financial consultant and CEO of Cory Nunes Capital, dedicated to helping individuals and business owners stop leaving money on the table. With over 20 years of experience as a business owner himself, Cory understands firsthand the financial pressures, blind spots, and missed opportunities that quietly drain a business's bottom line. Cory's approach is built on integrity — his clients' needs always come first. Whether the solution lives within his firm or requires a trusted referral, Cory is committed to finding the best possible outcome, not simply the easiest sale. His firm specializes in payroll savings strategies, tax optimization, and access to capital — helping business owners recover lost revenue and protect future earnings. On average, his clients save approximately $700 per employee per year, with no out-of-pocket cost. Cory is relentless about staying ahead of emerging strategies and bringing the best solutions to the forefront. cory@corynunes.com https://corynunescapital.com/ https://www.facebook.com/cory.nunes.3 https://www.instagram.com/corynunescapital/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/corynunes1977/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Rooted in lived experience and the journey from adversity to achievement, this message challenges individuals to confront the duality within themselves. The “Hood Me” represents pain, trauma, defense mechanisms, and choices shaped by environment and survival. The “Good Me” represents purpose, discipline, vision, and the calling to lead and build something greater. Throughout the talk, the audience is guided to reflect on their own “whiteboard of life,” understanding that every decision carries consequences and direction. The message emphasizes that healing is not optional but essential to leadership and growth. Participants are challenged to identify their wounds, acknowledge their vices, and recognize how unaddressed trauma influences behavior and decision-making. The talk ultimately calls for alignment between purpose and action, reminding listeners that greatness is not accidental but chosen daily. By embracing both sides of self and making intentional choices, individuals can move from the gutter to greatness and lead with authenticity, resilience, and impact in every space they enter moving forward. This experience challenges audiences to choose growth, reject limitation, and commit to transforming their story into legacy. Dr. Paul Miller is an author, global speaker, and educator who is changing the world through transformative leadership and purpose-driven impact. He holds an Ed.D in Executive Leadership and brings over 25 years of experience in urban public education, specializing in school redesign and reform.

The reason is rarely the plan. It's the people leading it. In this keynote, Jim Carlough makes the case that integrity isn't a soft skill or a value statement on the wall — it's the foundational infrastructure that determines whether any initiative actually holds. When leaders compromise their values under pressure, everything built on top of them becomes unstable. Drawing on three core dimensions of leadership integrity — Consistency, Transparency, and Legacy — Jim challenges audiences to close the gap between their intentions as leaders and their identity. Because under pressure, leaders don't default to their intentions. They default to who they are. Audiences leave with a clear understanding of why lasting outcomes demand leaders who are built to last — and what it takes to build the kind of identity that makes the right call automatic, even under fire. Ideal for: Leaders, managers, and high-potential professionals navigating change, building teams, or driving outcomes that need to endure. Jim Carlough is The Leadership Identity Architect — a Forbes Business Council member, award-winning author, and keynote speaker with 30+ years transforming leaders across healthcare and beyond. His conviction? Leaders aren't born — they're built. After scaling organizations from startups to industry leaders, Jim discovered the real barrier holding good people back wasn't competency — it was identity. Talented professionals weren't failing because they lacked skills. They were failing because they didn't see themselves as leaders. That insight became The Six Pillars of Effective Leadership — an International Impact Book Award winner built on six human qualities AI can never replace: Integrity, Focus, Compassion, Stability, Empathy, and Humor. Through keynotes, workshops, and executive coaching, Jim doesn't just inspire people — he rebuilds how they see themselves. jim@jimcarlough.com https://www.jimcarlough.com https://www.facebook.com/jim.carlough.2025/ https://www.instagram.com/jimcarloughmotivation/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimcarlough   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

And when it’s suppressed, silenced, or shaped by fear… it doesn’t just impact what you say—it impacts who you believe yourself to be. Most people think they struggle with confidence. But what’s really underneath it is a lack of ownership—of their story, their truth, and the authority that comes with it. In this session, Robin Carr challenges the idea that authority is something you earn over time. She reveals how it’s created in the moment you decide your story is not something to hide—but something to stand on. This is the work beneath visibility. Beneath the stage. Beneath the version of you that’s been performing, shrinking, or waiting. When you reclaim your voice, you don’t just speak differently—you lead differently, show up differently, and move through the world with a level of certainty that cannot be taught from the outside. Because the truth is—your story isn’t the thing that disqualifies you. It’s the very thing that makes you undeniable. And once you own it… everything changes. Robin Carr is an award-winning international keynote speaker, author, and founder of Thrive Unapologetically. Known as the mindset behind the stage, she helps individuals uncover the truth and power within their stories - guiding them to reclaim their voice, rebuild confidence, and rise from experiences of trauma, adversity, and self-doubt. Through her signature E.M.P.O.W.E.R. Framework, Robin works at the identity level—where healing meets ownership - supporting her clients in stepping into resilience, strength, and unapologetic self-trust. While some go on to speak on stages, many first learn to show up fully in their own lives, relationships, and leadership. As a published author in Warrior Women and a sought-after coach, Robin bridges lived experience with transformative strategy. Her mission is simple: help people stop hiding and start thriving unapologetically. robin.a.carr8@gmail.com https://thriveunapologetically.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheRobinCarr https://www.instagram.com/therobincarr/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-carr-232ab3b0/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

This presentation explores the role of the subconscious mind in shaping our habits, behaviours, thoughts, and patterns — often without us even realizing it. Attendees will gain a better understanding of why we sometimes struggle to break unwanted habits, reach goals, or create lasting change in our personal and professional lives. You will also discover how hypnosis can be used as a practical and effective tool for positive change by communicating directly with the subconscious mind, helping people create healthier habits, shift limiting patterns, and make meaningful changes from the inside out. The presentation will also address common myths and misconceptions about hypnosis, separating fact from fiction and explaining why hypnosis is very different from what most people have seen in movies or stage performances. Jason Palter is the Owner of the Greater Toronto Hypnosis Centre, which he founded in 2013. He is part of an international network of leading hypnotists using proven systems that have helped tens of thousands of people quit smoking, lose weight, and successfully change unwanted habits. Jason is a Certified Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), holds certification from Master Hypnotist Society Canada (formerly IHTC), and is a trained practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and a Life Coach. He has also received specialized training in smoking cessation and weight loss, and has extensive experience working with various forms of sexual dysfunction.

But beneath the surface, there’s a quiet cost to being the strong one. In this powerful talk, Ashly Balza unpacks what it’s really costing high-functioning women to hold everything together the pressure to perform, the loss of identity, and the silent burnout that often goes unseen. Drawing from her own journey through burnout and rediscovering her identity in Christ, she challenges the belief that strength means self-sacrifice. This message invites women to pause, reflect, and recognize the patterns keeping them stuck in survival mode.

Ashly Balza is a speaker, Self Renewal Coach, and founder of the Arise &amp; Ascend Experience. As a wife, mother of seven, and business owner, she understands the weight of holding everything together while quietly losing yourself in the process. After walking through burnout and a life-threatening illness, Ashly began a journey of rediscovering her identity in Christ one that transformed not just her life, but the lives of the women she now leads. Through her coaching, workshops, and speaking, Ashly helps high-functioning women break free from overwhelm, release the pressure to perform, and return to who God created them to be. Her message is rooted in faith, truth, and real-life experience, offering both practical tools and deep restoration.

Many high-performing leaders experience a hidden gap. Decisions are made, but they don’t always hold. Alignment is created, but it doesn’t sustain. Growth happens, but it brings more pressure instead of more clarity. The instinct is to refine the strategy—to do more, think more, or stay closer to everything. But the real constraint isn’t strategy. It’s capacity. In this talk, Ami reveals how leadership evolves beyond doing and thinking into a level of being where decisions hold, standards stabilize, and teams move with clarity and consistency. As capacity expands, leaders stop overcompensating and start operating from stability, precision, and alignment. This shift transforms how decisions are made, how teams execute, and how growth is experienced. This is not about adding more. It’s about expanding what you can hold—so execution strengthens, alignment sustains, and growth becomes efficient instead of exhausting. When capacity expands, everything else follows. Ami Maikoski is an Executive Leadership Advisor who works with high-performing leaders and organizations to expand capacity, strengthen execution, and create sustainable results. With over two decades of experience across corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and human potential development, she has led teams, scaled businesses, and advised leaders operating at the highest levels. Her work focuses on the internal side of leadership—how capacity, standards, and decision-making shape execution and results. Known for her direct, grounded approach, Ami helps leaders move beyond strategy into a level of clarity and stability where decisions hold, teams align, and growth becomes sustainable. ami@betruetoyourbestyou.com https://www.amimaikoski.com/experience https://www.facebook.com/ami.maikoski/ https://www.instagram.com/betruetoyourbestyou/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ami-maikoski-68b0b44b/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Minty is named for Araminta, the birth name of Harriet Tubman. A woman born into a world that had already written her story. A woman who felt a calling that terrified her, walked a road that cost her everything, and stepped fully into who she was meant to be. When she did, she took a new name. Her mother's name. Harriet. Leonne Sherr spent nearly thirty years inside corporate systems that were very good at telling her who to be. They were wrong. She answered a calling she could not ignore. She thought it would take three years. It took six. There were seasons where the ground was not steady. She did not backtrack. In this talk Leonne brings the truth about what it actually costs to follow your own map when the culture hands you someone else's. She teaches entrepreneurs how to peel back the layers, find their own through line, and stay on their path when the storms come. Notice. Decide. Move. That is the only kind of success that does not expire. Leonne Sherr is an author, speaker, and Certified Transformational Life and Parenting Coach who guides mothers from chaos to calm — helping them move from reactive to responsive so they can live fully connected to themselves and show up for their children in the way that matters most. Her work is rooted in a simple but profound belief: that a mother who understands herself changes everything. Not just for her own life, but for the children watching her live it. The behaviors she models today become the emotional blueprint her children carry into adulthood. Through coaching, community, and her signature WonderMama Compass™ framework, Leonne helps moms stop surviving and start building — a life that feels like theirs, and a legacy that outlasts them. She believes the most powerful gift a mother can give her children is a woman who loves who she is.

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of what truly causes people to respond, engage, trust, and invest. Fun, interactive, and immediately actionable, this presentation is designed to create a powerful shift in thinking and an immediate increase in sales conversations, confidence, and results. People will not leave this talk thinking about selling the same way again. Brian K McNeill is a 9-time author, sales historian, sales philosopher, sales confidence expert, and high-energy, highly interactive speaker known for helping entrepreneurs and organizations sell themselves and their services with greater confidence and effectiveness. With more than 35 years in professional selling and thousands of presentations delivered, Brian teaches audiences how selling shaped modern America—and why the ability to sell yourself remains one of the most important survival skills in business today. He is the author of books including Timid Entrepreneurs Have Skinny Kids, Mastering Sales Language, and Selling Financial Services is Different. Brian’s talks are fun, practical, motivating, and filled with immediately actionable strategies that create an instant increase in sales activity and results.

Most people unknowingly operate from money beliefs formed in early childhood, shaped by family patterns, past experiences, and emotional triggers. These hidden scripts often drive self-sabotage, fear of instability, imposter syndrome, and subconscious loyalty to struggle — keeping even high-achievers stuck.Wendy walks audiences through the most common wealth-blocking patterns and explains the neuroscience behind lasting change. She introduces a simple but profound framework: Identity → Beliefs → Habits → Results. When you shift your identity, you transform your financial outcomes.Through personal stories, practical insights, and empowering reframes, attendees will learn how to recognize their internal barriers, rewrite their money story, and step into a new identity rooted in confidence, clarity, and freedom.This talk is not just about money — it’s about becoming the person capable of creating the life you truly desire. Wendy "The Financial Lyon" is an unstoppable force in finance and media, transforming lives as a CFO and charismatic host of the Wealth &amp; Wisdom Show, empowering clients to achieve extraordinary wealth while passionately advocating for social causes; her keen insights and wealth strategies not only eliminate money stress but also cultivate a legacy of abundance and security, positioning her as an unmatched expert in the realm of financial transformation and personal development. An international keynote speaker and international bestselling author, Wendy is listed in the International Who’s Who of Female Executives and is a recipient of the Outstanding Woman of Leadership Award from the Women’s International Leadership Association.

The problem isn’t effort, creativity, or even strategy. It’s structure. In this talk, Tim Hyde unpacks the hidden system behind every high-performing marketing engine: the often-invisible framework that connects attention, trust, follow-up, and conversion into a coherent whole. Drawing on three decades across technology, project delivery, consulting, and marketing automation, Tim shows why disconnected tactics create noise, not momentum. Rather than offering another list of tools or trends, this session focuses on how effective growth systems actually work—and why most businesses unknowingly skip the most important layer. You’ll learn how small structural gaps cause leads to leak, why “more content” rarely fixes conversion problems, and how clarity at the system level reduces complexity instead of adding to it. Attendees leave with a practical mental model for diagnosing their own marketing, identifying where effort is being wasted, and understanding what needs to be built before scaling further. Tim Hyde is a systems-led growth strategist with over 30 years’ experience spanning technology, project delivery, consulting, marketing automation, and AI. He began his career in software development and data analysis in the 1990s, before moving into large-scale project delivery and early digital and social platforms in the 2000s. This gave him a front-row seat to how technology, attention, and human behaviour intersect long before “digital transformation” became a buzzword. Over the past decade, Tim has focused on helping service-based businesses and consultants turn complexity into clarity by building practical, repeatable growth systems. His work sits at the intersection of strategy, CRM, automation, and AI—bridging the gap between knowing what to do and actually getting it done. Known for his calm, no-fluff approach, Tim helps businesses reduce noise, regain control, and create predictable client acquisition. His philosophy is simple: systems before scale, clarity before tactics, and progress over perfection. tim@winmoreclients.com.au https://winmoreclients.com.au https://www.facebook.com/timjhyde/ https://instagram.com/winmoreclients https://linkedin.com/in/tim-hyde-crm   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

The problem isn’t effort, creativity, or even strategy. It’s structure. In this talk, Tim Hyde unpacks the hidden system behind every high-performing marketing engine: the often-invisible framework that connects attention, trust, follow-up, and conversion into a coherent whole. Drawing on three decades across technology, project delivery, consulting, and marketing automation, Tim shows why disconnected tactics create noise, not momentum. Rather than offering another list of tools or trends, this session focuses on how effective growth systems actually work—and why most businesses unknowingly skip the most important layer. You’ll learn how small structural gaps cause leads to leak, why “more content” rarely fixes conversion problems, and how clarity at the system level reduces complexity instead of adding to it. Attendees leave with a practical mental model for diagnosing their own marketing, identifying where effort is being wasted, and understanding what needs to be built before scaling further. Tim Hyde is a systems-led growth strategist with over 30 years’ experience spanning technology, project delivery, consulting, marketing automation, and AI. He began his career in software development and data analysis in the 1990s, before moving into large-scale project delivery and early digital and social platforms in the 2000s. This gave him a front-row seat to how technology, attention, and human behaviour intersect long before “digital transformation” became a buzzword. Over the past decade, Tim has focused on helping service-based businesses and consultants turn complexity into clarity by building practical, repeatable growth systems. His work sits at the intersection of strategy, CRM, automation, and AI—bridging the gap between knowing what to do and actually getting it done. Known for his calm, no-fluff approach, Tim helps businesses reduce noise, regain control, and create predictable client acquisition. His philosophy is simple: systems before scale, clarity before tactics, and progress over perfection. tim@winmoreclients.com.au https://winmoreclients.com.au https://www.facebook.com/timjhyde/ https://instagram.com/winmoreclients https://linkedin.com/in/tim-hyde-crm   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Platforms. Systems. Organizations. Frameworks they leave TO people. Inheritance is external and transferable, but it requires maintenance. When you hand someone a business, a method, or a structure, it only survives if they can sustain what you built. Legacy is different. Legacy is internal and transformational. It is what you leave IN people. A way of thinking. A way of leading. A way of carrying authority. When you deposit identity, alignment, and a new operating system into others, it multiplies without you. Jesus invested three years in twelve people and launched a movement still multiplying two thousand years later. He did not leave them buildings. He left them transformed. And transformed people transform others. This talk reframes scale, impact, and influence. It challenges the obsession with reaching more and invites a deeper question: What are you leaving IN people that will reproduce without you? Because inheritance can be transferred. But legacy multiplies. Donna Tashjian is a Destiny Activator, Faith-Based Advisor, and founder of Vibrant Living International, a Spirit-led movement devoted to awakening identity, restoring divine order, and activating Kingdom authority. For decades, Donna has walked in deep intimacy with God and carries a rare ability to see what others overlook. She exposes what's hidden beneath success, helps people align with who God created them to be, and guides them into living and leading from spiritual authority rather than striving. Her work is rooted in spiritual intelligence: the unseen foundations that shape clarity, confidence, decision-making, and sustainable impact. Donna doesn't motivate people to try harder. She helps them return to truth, where alignment replaces effort and authority flows naturally from identity. As creator of the Spiritual Intelligence Method™ and host of The Vibrant Living Podcast, Donna is known as a truth-exposer and strategic problem solver.

Reid</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/7-ways-to-write-your-obituary-while-alive-dr-oliver-t-reid--70255584</link><description><![CDATA[Connected Leaders Academy Too many powerful stories never get written—because people wait until life slows down, fear quiets, or clarity feels perfect. This virtual webinar is designed to disrupt that delay. 7 Ways to Write It Before the Obituary is a strategic and transformational masterclass led by Dr. Oliver T. Reid, built for speakers, coaches, leaders, and professionals who know their story carries weight—but need a proven system to get it out of their head and onto the page. Using Dr. Reid’s proprietary note-writing framework, this session teaches participants how to extract books, frameworks, and revenue-ready intellectual property from what they already have: notes, talks, experiences, and lived wisdom. This is not a writing class. It’s a message ownership class. Participants will learn how to: • Capture their story without overwhelm or perfectionism • Organize notes into clear, publishable structures • Write with legacy and income in mind • Avoid the fear and delay that keeps stories locked away • Build a book before life writes the ending for them This webinar is for those ready to stop postponing their voice—and start building literary equity now, while they can still shape the narrative. Your story deserves to be written before someone else summarizes it. Dr. Oliver T. Reid is the founder of I Am A Solution Consulting Firm, LLC, an international speaker, prolific author, publisher, and transformational coach whose work sits at the intersection of introspection, identity, and execution. With more than 60 published books, over 30 bestsellers, and contributions to more than 30 anthologies, Dr. Reid has established himself as a powerful voice in modern thought leadership and personal development. Dr. Reid is the creator of the M.I.L.K. Writing System™ and the developer of the INNERVIEW methodology, both designed to help individuals extract meaning, structure, and momentum from their ideas and stories. Dr. Reid is a 2016 IALA Distinction of Excellence Legendary Honoree, a 2016 to 2017 NAACP Black Men Image Award recipient, and a 2025 Marquis Who’s Who Honoree. He has been featured in Forbes, HuffPost, Black Enterprise, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Roku TV, and other international media outlets. drolivertreid@iamasolutionconsultingfirm.com https://go.oncehub.com/InquiryCall1 https://www.facebook.com/drolivertreidthecoach https://www.instagram.com/drolivertreid/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drolivertreid/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Stop charging Walmart Prices for Louis Vuitton services. The price is wrong, bitch! Stop charging Walmart prices for Louis Vuitton services. Let's cut the bullshit: You're undercharging because you're chickenshit. You know damn well you're delivering premium transformation, but your pricing is screaming "please like me" instead of "I'm the fucking expert here." You're not being humble—you're being a coward. Every time you discount yourself, apologize for your rates, or throw in "extras" to justify your worth, you're telling the world you don't believe in what you do. And guess what? They believe you. Your pathetic pricing isn't attracting ideal clients—it's attracting energy vampires who don't respect your time, question your value, and drain your soul. Meanwhile, you're one resentful day away from burnout, wondering why this business you built feels like a goddamn trap. This talk is your wake-up call. We're gutting the identity bullshit that keeps you playing small, calling out the lies you tell yourself about "accessibility," and teaching you how to charge what you're actually worth without apologizing or flinching.

Stop charging Walmart Prices for Louis Vuitton services. The price is wrong, bitch! Stop charging Walmart prices for Louis Vuitton services. Let's cut the bullshit: You're undercharging because you're chickenshit. You know damn well you're delivering premium transformation, but your pricing is screaming "please like me" instead of "I'm the fucking expert here." You're not being humble—you're being a coward. Every time you discount yourself, apologize for your rates, or throw in "extras" to justify your worth, you're telling the world you don't believe in what you do. And guess what? They believe you. Your pathetic pricing isn't attracting ideal clients—it's attracting energy vampires who don't respect your time, question your value, and drain your soul. Meanwhile, you're one resentful day away from burnout, wondering why this business you built feels like a goddamn trap. This talk is your wake-up call. We're gutting the identity bullshit that keeps you playing small, calling out the lies you tell yourself about "accessibility," and teaching you how to charge what you're actually worth without apologizing or flinching.

And it’s not a someday thing for you. You’re ready to put your ideas on a bigger stage—to be seen saying something that can change lives and your business. You also know it’s a leap. The kind that has a way of face-planting you into self-doubt, second-guessing, and the temptation to stay safely behind your screen instead of stepping out front and taking the lead. If this is the year for you to speak up and speak out, stand out from the crowd, and take your place on stage as a thought leader, this session is for you. Because your people are hungry for your expertise. The world is waiting for your message. And speaking is still the fastest way to get their attention. In You Want to Speak. Now What Comes Next, TEDx speaker, Moth story slam winner , and public speaking coach Johanna Walker lays out the clear, step-by-step path from desire to action. You’ll learn how to get crystal clear on what you’re here to say, understand the fears and blocks that show up at this stage (and why they’re normal), and see the concrete next steps that turn “I want to speak” into real momentum. You’ll leave energized and ready to say yes to yourself and your genius. Imagine stepping onto a stage or into a meeting and sharing what you know with unapologetic confidence. Johanna Walker helps make that happen. She’s a speaker, trainer, and storytelling expert who helps leaders and workplace professionals communicate with clarity, credibility, and human connection when the stakes are high. She’s spoken on the TEDx stage, at industry conferences, and for organizations of all sizes, helping audiences communicate complex ideas with presence and credibility. She’s also a Moth story slam winner. Johanna has danced at the White House in a rabbit suit, cut fish heads in Alaska, and was a bike messenger in pre-email New York City. Her point? Great stories aren’t rare. We all have them. Including you. She’s helped hundreds of people shape everyday experience into compelling stories.

In this talk, Dan Bradley explores how true transformation happens not through motivation or hustle, but through daily integrity, self-trust, and intentional action. Drawing from personal experience and years of honest conversations through his podcast Braving the Brightside, Dan shares how rebuilding a life, whether from burnout, addiction, loss, or stagnation, requires patience, compassion, and a willingness to show up imperfectly but consistently. Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to shift from survival mode into intentional living, how to stop abandoning themselves during difficult seasons, and how small, repeatable actions compound into a meaningful legacy over time. This session is designed to resonate deeply, offering perspective, grounding, and practical insight for anyone committed to becoming someone their future self, and those around them, can depend on. Dan Bradley is a speaker, podcast host, and storyteller focused on resilience, personal growth, and building a meaningful life after adversity. As the host of Braving the Brightside, Dan creates space for honest conversations around mental health, recovery, purpose, and the quiet work it takes to change your life. Through his own lived experience, Dan speaks to people who feel stuck between who they’ve been and who they know they’re capable of becoming. His approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical—centered on progress over perfection and courage over comfort. Dan’s work emphasizes consistency, self-trust, and legacy-building from the inside out, helping people reconnect with themselves and move forward with clarity and intention.

Drawing on insights from leading longevity experts and real-world caregiving experience, Darlene challenges the myth that independence is preserved later in life. Instead, she shows how strength, mobility, balance, cognitive resilience, and cellular health must be built decades earlier to maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life as we age. The session highlights the often-overlooked role of chronic stress, caregiver burnout, and declining cellular repair in accelerating loss of independence. Attendees will learn why caregivers frequently experience worse health outcomes than those they care for, and how symptom-focused medical approaches can fall short without addressing recovery and resilience at the cellular level. Through compelling stories and practical, science-backed strategies—including emerging non-drug approaches that support the body’s innate repair mechanisms—this talk inspires proactive action. Participants leave with a renewed sense of urgency, clarity, and hope, empowered to invest in their health today so they can remain strong, independent, and fully present for the people they love tomorrow. Darlene Greene is a retired Navy Commander with 32+ years of executive leadership across military, technology, and education. She’s served as Vice President of Strategic Technology Partnerships at McAfee, Dean of Culver Girls Academy, and Director of Client Services for HyeTech Networks and Security. During her 20-year Navy career, she earned an MBA and held three Commanding Officer roles, including base commander for 1,200 personnel. She also founded the nationally recognized Returning Warrior Workshop, helping service members and spouses reintegrate and reclaim wellness. A sought-after keynote speaker and guest on 100+ podcasts, Darlene co-authored the 2024 best-seller Become Empowered: Echoes of Grace and Strength and the 2025 book Your Body Powers Your Dreams. Today, she helps people restore vitality at the cellular level—empowering more than 700 clients to reclaim energy and pursue their biggest dreams—because when the body heals, everything else becomes possible. darlene.greene@mac.com https://iamreverseaging.com https://www.facebook.com/darlene.bennett.greene https://www.instagram.com/dbgreene/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/darlenegreene/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Execute Relentlessly. Create Your Legacy. – Dan "Big D" Sachkowsky – KEYNOTE SPEAKER</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/build-clarity-execute-relentlessly-create-your-legacy-dan-big-d-sachkowsky-keynote-speaker--70252952</link><description><![CDATA[Connected Leaders Academy Most entrepreneurs aren’t failing because they lack talent or motivation. They’re failing because they lack clarity, structure, and disciplined execution. In this powerful session, Dan Sachkowsky breaks down the real reasons business owners stay stuck, overwhelmed, and reactive despite working harder than ever. Dan teaches a simple, repeatable framework to eliminate chaos, regain control, and move from busy operator to decisive leader. Attendees will learn how to identify their true bottlenecks, make better decisions under pressure, and build systems that support growth instead of burnout. This talk is practical, direct, and action-focused. No hype. No theory. Just proven principles drawn from real-world business experience, adversity, and rebuilding at the highest level. Participants will leave with clear next steps they can apply immediately to their business, leadership, and daily execution, along with a renewed sense of ownership over their results and future. Dan Sachkowsky is a business coach, entrepreneur, and speaker known for his direct, no-excuses approach to leadership, mindset, and execution. After rebuilding his life and businesses following bankruptcy at 24 and a near-fatal heart attack in 2022, Dan now helps business owners break through internal bottlenecks, reclaim clarity, and scale with discipline and purpose.

Participants will leave with clear next steps they can apply immediately to their business, leadership, and daily execution, along with a renewed sense of ownership over their results and future. Dan Sachkowsky is a business coach, entrepreneur, and speaker known for his direct, no-excuses approach to leadership, mindset, and execution.

In this powerful, reflective talk, Paul McFadden reframes legacy as a present-moment transmission—an energetic, emotional, and behavioral frequency that shapes people, teams, families, and cultures long before outcomes are measured or remembered. Rather than focusing on achievements, accolades, or future impact, this talk invites leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-performers to examine the invisible signals they are already broadcasting every day. How do our internal states, unresolved pressures, and unspoken truths quietly shape the future through those we influence? Drawing from lived experience and grounded insight, Paul explores how legacy is encoded through presence, alignment, and the standards we embody—not the stories we tell. Attendees will be guided through moments of self-reflection that reveal the difference between inherited pressure and inherited clarity, performance and coherence, success and sovereignty. This talk is not motivational hype or tactical instruction. It is a recalibration. A pause. An invitation to recognize that the future is not waiting for our retirement or reflection—it is responding now to who we are being. Legacy, as you will discover, is not what you leave behind. It is the frequency you live from. Paul E. McFadden is the Founder &amp; CEO of Evolve Human Potential™ and the visionary architect behind the Becoming Human 2.0™ Movement. A U.S. Navy Reserves veteran, former corporate leader, and multi-time best-selling author, Paul integrates neuroscience, conscious leadership, and transformational strategy to help individuals and organizations realign with their true potential. He is the creator of the Alignment Codex™—a suite of precision-based frameworks that equip executives, entrepreneurs, and culture-shapers to sharpen focus, elevate influence, and expand impact in a rapidly accelerating world. Known for his ability to translate complexity into clarity, Paul guides leaders through the inner architecture of alignment, helping them dissolve hidden constraints, unlock coherent decision-making, and lead with grounded authority.

Rooted in Galatians 6:9, this message speaks directly to young people navigating pressure, doubt, and the quiet fatigue that comes from trying to do the right thing without seeing immediate results. With honesty, humour, and real-life insight, Kim explores how legacy is formed not in big moments, but in everyday choices - how we speak, how we respond, and how we keep going when giving up feels easier. This talk invites listeners to see that renewal is possible, resilience can be learned, and their voice matters even before everything is figured out. Blending faith, practical wisdom, and a brief introduction to mental and emotional resilience, Let Us Not Grow Weary encourages participants to stay anchored, remain present, and build something meaningful that outlives them. Kimberly Wardell is the founder of Developing Inner Excellence and Voices of Impact, a speaker, author, and faith-based Mental Wellness Coach focused on real transformation. She helps people use the power of their voice, strengthen emotional and mental resilience, and rediscover that renewal is possible—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Rather than offering another plan, set of rules, or strategy to “try harder,” Shelly invites the audience to reconsider the role the body plays in weight loss and why so many diets fail despite best intentions. Drawing from personal experience and years of coaching, Shelly explores how restriction, vigilance, and scarcity conflict with human biology, and how hunger, cravings, and weight regain are often misinterpreted as personal failure instead of meaningful feedback. She reframes these experiences as signals the body uses to communicate its needs, not signs that something is wrong. This talk offers a shift in perspective from control to understanding, from restarting diets to restoring the conditions the body responds to. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of why listening to the body matters, how attention changes outcomes, and why lasting weight loss begins not with force, but with awareness. Shelly Besancon is a weight loss coach and educator who helps women break free from dieting by learning how to work with their bodies instead of against them. After years of navigating the diet cycle herself, Shelly shifted her focus from rules and restriction to understanding the body’s biological signals, rhythms, and responses. Her work centers on sustainable, body-led weight loss that prioritizes safety, satisfaction, and long-term health over willpower and control. Shelly teaches that hunger, cravings, and weight regain are not failures, but feedback and that lasting change comes from restoring the conditions the body needs to thrive. Known for her clear, compassionate, and no-nonsense approach, Shelly helps women reconnect with their bodies, rebuild trust with food, and achieve weight loss that lasts, without restarting another diet. shelly.besancon@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/SBesancon/ https://www.instagram.com/weightloss_coach_shelly/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelly-besancon/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Something they have to do. Another item on an endless to-do list. But they're missing the bigger picture. Content is a free way to promote your business to millions of people. Most people think content success requires going viral, gathering millions of followers, or becoming an influencer. It doesn't. In this talk, Danny DelVecchio reveals the simple system he used to build a $500K/year solo business through organic content on LinkedIn, starting from zero and without a massive audience. The secret? He stopped creating content and started capturing it. Every sales call, client consultation, workshop, and podcast interview contains dozens of content ideas. The conversations you're already having in your business are filled with the exact insights, stories, and expertise your ideal clients need to hear. You just need a system to extract and repurpose them. Danny will show you how to turn one hour of conversation into weeks of high-converting content without scripting, overthinking, or pretending to be someone you're not. Danny DelVecchio is an entrepreneur, coach, and content creator who helps founders and companies build their online presence and attract clients with simple content systems. After 20 years in sales and sales leadership, he quit corporate life in 2022 to become an entrepreneur. Starting from zero, he's built a $500K/year solo company exclusively through organic content on LinkedIn. His company, Content On Easy Mode, has helped over 300 founders and companies generate millions in organic revenue. Not through massive audiences or viral content, but by being the real human behind the profile photo. His approach is simple: turn everyday business conversations (sales calls, client meetings, workshops, podcast interviews) into high-converting content. When he's not helping experts put their content on easy mode, Danny's in Charleston, SC with his wife and two boys. Coaching basketball, cooking pasta, and hitting bougie restaurants and cocktail bars. danny@coachdannyd.com https://contentoneasymode.com/ https://www.facebook.com/danny.delvecchio https://www.instagram.com/danny.delvecchio/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannydelvecchio/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

The conversations you're already having in your business are filled with the exact insights, stories, and expertise your ideal clients need to hear. You just need a system to extract and repurpose them. Danny will show you how to turn one hour of conversation into weeks of high-converting content without scripting, overthinking, or pretending to be someone you're not. Danny DelVecchio is an entrepreneur, coach, and content creator who helps founders and companies build their online presence and attract clients with simple content systems. After 20 years in sales and sales leadership, he quit corporate life in 2022 to become an entrepreneur. Starting from zero, he's built a $500K/year solo company exclusively through organic content on LinkedIn. His company, Content On Easy Mode, has helped over 300 founders and companies generate millions in organic revenue. Not through massive audiences or viral content, but by being the real human behind the profile photo. His approach is simple: turn everyday business conversations (sales calls, client meetings, workshops, podcast interviews) into high-converting content. When he's not helping experts put their content on easy mode, Danny's in Charleston, SC with his wife and two boys. Coaching basketball, cooking pasta, and hitting bougie restaurants and cocktail bars. danny@coachdannyd.com https://contentoneasymode.com/ https://www.facebook.com/danny.delvecchio https://www.instagram.com/danny.delvecchio/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannydelvecchio/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

In this stand-alone talk, Renee invites leaders to rethink legacy not as title, hustle, or recognition, but as what people carry forward because of how they were led. Drawing from lived experience, she reframes legacy as a daily practice of becoming—choosing how we show up, decide, and create space for others. Participants explore three leadership conditions that shape lasting impact: safety, clarity, and permission. These conditions determine whether people shrink, perform, or fully step into their potential. Designed to resonate live and read powerfully in print, this session leaves leaders with a simple personal legacy statement they can use immediately—so people become more because of their leadership. Renee Jackson-Smith is an executive leadership coach, speaker, and founder of Soar2Win™ Coaching. With more than three decades of leadership experience, she partners with leaders and organizations to strengthen executive presence, intentional communication, and influence. Renee is known for helping high-performing leaders move beyond performing for approval and into leadership that creates clarity, confidence, and space for others to thrive. Her work centers on intentional leadership, becoming, and legacy built through daily choices.

Yet many people move through life disconnected from what their body and inner world are trying to communicate, especially during seasons of grief, illness, burnout, or major transition. In this talk, Heather Eck explores art and color as a quiet, intuitive language of the soul. Drawing from her work as an intuitive artist and therapeutic art guide, she invites listeners to consider how color can offer insight into emotional states, stored experiences, and nervous system patterns that often live beyond words. Rather than focusing on artistic skill or interpretation, this talk centers on awareness and presence. Heather shares how working with color can create a safe, nonverbal way to listen inward, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with parts of ourselves that may have gone unheard. This session offers a compassionate reframing of creativity, not as performance or productivity, but as a gentle practice of noticing, allowing, and remembering. Listeners will leave with a deeper understanding of how art and color can support emotional clarity, inner connection, and healing from the inside out. Heather Eck is an intuitive artist, therapeutic art guide, and founder of the Color Healing Academy. Her work sits at the intersection of creativity, nervous system regulation, and spiritual insight, helping people understand what their body and emotions have been holding when words fall short. Through color, intuitive painting, and guided creative practices, Heather supports individuals navigating grief, illness, burnout, and periods of deep transition. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and non-diagnostic, offering art as a language for awareness, release, and reconnection rather than performance or perfection.

Yet many people move through life disconnected from what their body and inner world are trying to communicate, especially during seasons of grief, illness, burnout, or major transition. In this talk, Heather Eck explores art and color as a quiet, intuitive language of the soul. Drawing from her work as an intuitive artist and therapeutic art guide, she invites listeners to consider how color can offer insight into emotional states, stored experiences, and nervous system patterns that often live beyond words. Rather than focusing on artistic skill or interpretation, this talk centers on awareness and presence. Heather shares how working with color can create a safe, nonverbal way to listen inward, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with parts of ourselves that may have gone unheard. This session offers a compassionate reframing of creativity, not as performance or productivity, but as a gentle practice of noticing, allowing, and remembering. Listeners will leave with a deeper understanding of how art and color can support emotional clarity, inner connection, and healing from the inside out. Heather Eck is an intuitive artist, therapeutic art guide, and founder of the Color Healing Academy. Her work sits at the intersection of creativity, nervous system regulation, and spiritual insight, helping people understand what their body and emotions have been holding when words fall short. Through color, intuitive painting, and guided creative practices, Heather supports individuals navigating grief, illness, burnout, and periods of deep transition. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and non-diagnostic, offering art as a language for awareness, release, and reconnection rather than performance or perfection. Heather is the creator of Spirit Portraits and The Art of Becoming, a therapeutic art journey designed to help clients translate inner experience into visual understanding and embodied clarity. She believes creativity is not a luxury, but a vital pathway back to presence, self-trust, and healing. heather@heathereck.com https://heathereck.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heathereckartist/ https://www.instagram.com/heathereckartist/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathereck/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

But somewhere between juggling clients, wearing every hat, and trying to “just keep up,” the joy started slipping… and overwhelm started winning. If you’re not careful, doing everything will disconnect you from why you started — and blind you to the 20% that actually moves the needle in your business. Grounded in Proverbs 16:3 — “Commit to the Lord everything you do, and He will establish your plans” — Michelle reveals a truth every Christian entrepreneur must master: when you build with God’s blueprint, not the world’s burnout-driven hustle, you build deeper, stronger, and far more profitably. Vision written is vision activated. Plans surrendered to God become the very ones that prophesy your business’ future. This is your invitation to realignment. Do you truly have a clear God-given vision? Do you truly know the drivers that create revenue and momentum? Are you measuring so you can scale with purpose, not pressure? It’s time to recalibrate, and rebuild so you can soar higher than ever before. Are you building a business that was supposed to bring freedom—but instead it’s draining your time, peace, and relationships? Do you ever fear you might lose it all trying to gain it all? Many Christian entrepreneurs crave financial and time freedom, yet end up overwhelmed by the grind and quietly resenting the very business they prayed for. Michelle Sinclair Doyley knows that pressure. Before discovering her God-given purpose, she was stressed, overworked, and convinced the weight would crush her. But once she aligned with her God-given purpose, everything changed. She went on to drive major sales performance across five JMMB Group companies in three Caribbean countries, creating tools that helped teams soar without burnout. Advisors entered her programs exhausted—but left producing 50%+ improvement. For five straight years, 60% of the top 10 agents came from her coaching. Now Michelle helps Christian entrepreneurs build purpose-aligned businesses they love—without sacrificing peace, relationships, or freedom. How? By blending biblical insight with battle-tested strategy, creating clarity, conviction, and breakthrough you can feel. michelle@createthelifeyoudlove.com https://www.michellesinclairdoyley.com https://www.facebook.com/michellesinclairdoyley/ https://www.instagram.com/michellesinclairdoyley/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-sinclair-doyley-a19477101/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

But once she aligned with her God-given purpose, everything changed. She went on to drive major sales performance across five JMMB Group companies in three Caribbean countries, creating tools that helped teams soar without burnout. Advisors entered her programs exhausted—but left producing 50%+ improvement. For five straight years, 60% of the top 10 agents came from her coaching. Now Michelle helps Christian entrepreneurs build purpose-aligned businesses they love—without sacrificing peace, relationships, or freedom. How? By blending biblical insight with battle-tested strategy, creating clarity, conviction, and breakthrough you can feel. michelle@createthelifeyoudlove.com https://www.michellesinclairdoyley.com https://www.facebook.com/michellesinclairdoyley/ https://www.instagram.com/michellesinclairdoyley/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-sinclair-doyley-a19477101/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Many leaders rely on assumptions without realizing how often those assumptions limit possibilities, create tension, and damage relationships. When we learn to pause, question our thoughts, and ask what else might be true, everything begins to shift. Through personal stories and real examples from coaching leaders across industries, Yosi shows how a curious mindset reduces stress, strengthens communication, and opens the door to better decisions. He explains the simple but powerful tools that help people challenge assumptions, understand their emotional reactions, and choose responses that create stronger outcomes. The talk highlights how real change requires a willingness to be uncomfortable and take ownership of our role in every interaction. When we stop pointing outward and look inward, we gain clarity and control. This shift creates a ripple effect that influences teams, families, and entire organizations. Participants walk away with practical steps they can apply immediately to lead with more intention, build healthier relationships, and create meaningful impact in their daily lives. Yosi Kossowsky is an executive and leadership coach with over 18 years of experience helping leaders deepen self-awareness, strengthen communication, and lead with greater clarity. Drawing from more than 30 years in corporate roles—including Chief Technology and Strategy Officer and Senior Director of Talent and Culture Strategy—he brings a practical understanding of both business and human dynamics. Yosi works with leaders across industries including technology, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, from first-time managers to C-suite executives. His approach blends neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking to help clients navigate complexity, lead through change, and build cohesive, high-performing teams. Known for creating a safe and focused coaching environment, Yosi helps clients uncover insights, shift mindsets, and make lasting behavior changes.

Through her own journey — from surviving domestic abuse to creating internationally recognized projects such as Wonder Women Now and Becoming More — Anne shares how art became her tool for transformation, leadership, and healing. Blending personal experience with universal insight, she reveals how vulnerability can become strength, and how reclaiming one’s voice leads to authentic influence. For Anne, “My brush is my sword” — a reminder that creativity is not just expression, but action, courage, and change. This inspiring session challenges leaders to look inward, embrace their own stories, and lead from truth and compassion. It’s an invitation to transform silence into purpose, pain into power, and vision into impact. Anne Plaisance is a French-born visual artist, “artivist,” and advocate for women’s empowerment whose work transforms personal and collective trauma into resilience and change.

Her award-winning projects, including Wonder Women Now and Becoming More, celebrate courage, healing, and self-leadership through creativity. Exhibited internationally in over 100 shows across Europe, Asia, and the U.S., Anne has been featured in The Boston Globe, Le Monde Magazine, and Artscope. A recipient of multiple cultural grants and international awards, she blends art and activism to ignite transformation.

From career pivots to personal transitions, finding focus in uncertain moments is one of the greatest leadership skills we can build.

Along the way, she reveals a simple but powerful framework for moving through change with intention: curiosity, clarity, and confidence.

Whether you’re leading others or leading yourself through what’s next, this session will help you stay focused forward — grounded in what matters most and ready for what’s ahead. Carlee Wolfe is a leadership and talent strategist and coach who shapes the leaders, cultures, and communities that move people and organizations forward.

With deep roots in sport, she also coaches within USA Volleyball’s Sitting National Team pipeline and champions inclusive access through workforce and adaptive sport communities. Carlee serves on multiple boards in Baltimore and beyond, advancing opportunity and belonging wherever she leads.

From career pivots to personal transitions, finding focus in uncertain moments is one of the greatest leadership skills we can build. In this reflective and practical session, leadership and career strategist Carlee Wolfe shares the personal stories and professional lessons that shaped her own journey — from leaving behind familiar paths to redefining success through sport, corporate leadership, and community impact. Along the way, she reveals a simple but powerful framework for moving through change with intention: curiosity, clarity, and confidence. Through this conversation, you’ll learn how curiosity opens new directions, how clarity fuels meaningful decisions, and how confidence helps you act with purpose even when the next step isn’t clear. Whether you’re leading others or leading yourself through what’s next, this session will help you stay focused forward — grounded in what matters most and ready for what’s ahead. Carlee Wolfe is a leadership and talent strategist and coach who shapes the leaders, cultures, and communities that move people and organizations forward. As Founder of Ace &amp; Arrow Consulting, she works at the intersection of purpose and performance — helping people unlock capability, build meaningful careers, and lead forward with confidence. Her career spans global brands including Hyatt Hotels, Under Armour, and the U.S. Olympic &amp; Paralympic Committee, where she guided leadership and culture initiatives that advanced growth, impact, and results. With deep roots in sport, she also coaches within USA Volleyball’s Sitting National Team pipeline and champions inclusive access through workforce and adaptive sport communities. Carlee serves on multiple boards in Baltimore and beyond, advancing opportunity and belonging wherever she leads. Her work reminds us that focus isn’t about doing more — it’s about aiming true. carleewolfe@gmail.com https://www.aceandarrowconsulting.com https://www.facebook.com/AceAndArrowConsulting https://www.instagram.com/ace_and_arrow_/?igsh=NzJwZ2ZpOGpobGN3&amp;utm_source=qr https://www.linkedin.com/in/carleeawolfe/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

My mind was loud, and I was doing everything at once, being a student, running a business, caring for my kids, my home, and everyone around me. My body was exhausted, and my heart didn’t feel safe. I was living in constant masculine energy, building, providing, and surviving. Then meditation found me, and everything changed. For years I lived in survival mode, always giving and doing, until I started my healing journey. I had to release so much, unfinished emotions with my parents, limiting beliefs, cultural and religious expectations, and even reevaluate my marriage. Once I let go, I found freedom, confidence, and my true self. Meditation taught me to listen within, to take care of myself first, and to trust what I feel. It brought clarity, focus, and growth to my business and relationships. That’s what happens when the mind and body work together, they eliminate what no longer serves you and create space for peace. Before meditating, remember these three steps: 1. Set an intention 2. Let go 3. Connect Meditate not for comfort, but for change. You know how some successful people build everything they ever wanted, yet still feel something’s missing inside? Hi, I’m Tia Fejzo. I help those people shift from what’s holding them back so they can truly enjoy what they’ve built and unlock their next level of peace, clarity, and success. Through my intuitive gifts and Quantum Healing Hypnosis. I guide them back to the power that’s already within. I work in person at my office in Simsbury, Connecticut, or online with clients around the world.

Enough holding it all together while falling apart inside. Enough wearing a Mask!!! Feeling like you're not enough, not worth it, or will never break through. This is weight that is holding you back. You are a Warrior! You've endured the storms, trials, and abuse. You’ve mastered survival. You know how to push. It's exhausting and feels like a prison. Survival isn’t freedom — it’s just pretending you're 'OK' through the struggle and pain. You aren’t broken — You're emotions are just unregulated and stuck in old loops. In the Break the Chains Masterclass, I’ll teach you the PIVOT Method — how to break those loops and shift from chaos to clarity. When you master your emotions, you stop reacting to life and start creating it.

Her unique insights help to increase awareness, accelerate high-performance habits and increase mental toughness. The methods she uses are designed to help you regulate your emotions and stay grounded in truth to be more equipped to face the things you fear as you rebuild your life. She guides you through an Identity Awareness Process to help you build confidence - trust- relationship – communication – and master your leadership skills and stand in your personal power; so, you can step into your GOD calling.

Not your mission—your actual strategy. If you hesitated, you're not alone. Eighty percent of businesses fail within five years, not from lack of passion or customers, but from lack of strategic clarity. Whether you're solidifying your first $50K or scaling to seven figures, this session will transform how you think about building your venture. You'll discover why smart entrepreneurs still struggle with strategy and learn the difference between being busy and being strategic. Through a proven four-pillar framework—Strategic Position, Sustainable Model, Scalable Systems, and Measurable Impact—you'll gain practical tools that work at any business stage. You'll learn how to move from hoping tactics become strategy to building with crystal clear intention. Walk away with a 90-Day Strategic Sprint tailored to your level, the Strategic Priority Matrix to eliminate what's costing you growth, and three immediate actions to multiply your effectiveness. Just as physical vision can move from blurry to 20/20, your strategic vision can become crystal clear. A business without strategy is just an expensive job. With strategic clarity, you build a platform for exponential impact.

Through relatable stories, humor, his D.O.P.E. framework, and practical insights, Olaolu reminds us that we already have the strength to reach our goals. It’s just a matter of training that strength daily.

Drawing on his real-world experiences in the military, family life, and writing, Olaolu breaks down how lasting success is built through steady progress, rather than overnight leaps. He’ll walk you through actionable steps to: -Turn big goals into small, daily “reps” that build resilience and consistency. -Stay disciplined when motivation fades and challenges arise. -Transform setbacks into opportunities for growth. -Strengthen your mindset so you can lead yourself and others through adversity. Through relatable stories, humor, his D.O.P.E. framework, and practical insights, Olaolu reminds us that we already have the strength to reach our goals. It’s just a matter of training that strength daily.

Known for his energetic, practical approach to leadership and personal growth, Olaolu helps audiences bridge the gap between potential and performance. Through a message within his "Lead Last" concept, “Crush your goals one day, one rep at a time,” he challenges leaders to pursue consistency over perfection and progress over pressure.

It doesn’t, it lives in the invisible space between who they say they are and how they actually show up. In this provocative and soulful keynote, storyteller and strategist Deevo Tindall dismantles the myth that growth is a tactical game. He reveals the hidden psychology behind why most businesses plateau, not because of weak marketing, but because of misaligned identity and poor messaging. Through lived experience, irreverent humor, and a few uncomfortable truths, Deevo guides audiences to see that every brand problem is really a human problem in disguise. You Are the Brand is more than a message, it’s a mirror. It invites founders, leaders, and creators to stop performing success and start embodying it, to trade confusion for clarity, and noise for resonance. Because the real secret to growth isn’t another strategy, it’s the self-awareness to finally live the one you already have. Deevo is a storyteller, strategist, and recovering corporate refugee who helps founders, leaders, and creatives build brands that feel like them, not the version they’ve been performing. As the founder of The Brand Storyteller and creator of The Becoming You Blueprint™, he teaches the kind of clarity that doesn’t just grow a business, it rewires the human behind it. Equal parts philosopher, smart-ass, and brand therapist, Deevo blends psychology, storytelling, and strategy to help people stop outsourcing their identity and start embodying it. His work lives at the intersection of self-awareness and business growth, proving that your brand will never outgrow your level of alignment. When he’s not coaching or keynoting, he’s behind a camera, overanalyzing human behavior, or turning chaos into content. deevo@thebrandstoryteller.com https://www.thebrandstoryteller.com https://www.facebook.com/deevot https://www.instagram.com/deevothebrandstoryteller/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/deevothebrandstoryteller/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

If you can’t command your vessel (body), your habits, your discipline, your energy then you’re not leading… you’re leaking. I’m sharing what most won’t: real leadership begins behind the scenes, in the daily choices no one sees but everyone feels. Through Sifu’s Mind Body Method™, I’ve built a blueprint that gets you aligned. Physically, mentally, spiritually so you stop operating on fumes and start moving with purpose. This isn’t a motivational moment. It’s a lifestyle shift. It’s a reminder that your body holds the rhythm, the power, and the clarity you’ve been searching for. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to lead yourself first. To effectively lead the mission you were built for. No more guessing. No more starting over. Sifu Rafael is a master instructor, entrepreneur, and the founder of Speaking Prowess, where he combines expertise in communication and leadership to help individuals unlock their full potential. As the creator of Sifu’s Mind Body Method™, a transformative 90-day journey grounded in mindset, movement, journaling, hydration, and fasting, he guides people to detox their bodies and minds, reclaim their health, and elevate their personal power. With over 50 years of experience, Sifu Rafael has impacted thousands through his programs, coaching, and 8 global live shows, empowering individuals to rise stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally. His mission is simple but powerful: To help people master their voice, lead with clarity, and transform their lives from the inside out. sifu@speakingprowess.com https://zcal.co/sifurafael/spi https://www.facebook.com/SifuRafaelG/ https://www.instagram.com/fitnessbyrafael/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sifurafael/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

If you can’t command your vessel (body), your habits, your discipline, your energy then you’re not leading… you’re leaking. I’m sharing what most won’t: real leadership begins behind the scenes, in the daily choices no one sees but everyone feels. Through Sifu’s Mind Body Method™, I’ve built a blueprint that gets you aligned. Physically, mentally, spiritually so you stop operating on fumes and start moving with purpose. This isn’t a motivational moment. It’s a lifestyle shift. It’s a reminder that your body holds the rhythm, the power, and the clarity you’ve been searching for. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to lead yourself first. To effectively lead the mission you were built for. No more guessing. No more starting over. Sifu Rafael is a master instructor, entrepreneur, and the founder of Speaking Prowess, where he combines expertise in communication and leadership to help individuals unlock their full potential. As the creator of Sifu’s Mind Body Method™, a transformative 90-day journey grounded in mindset, movement, journaling, hydration, and fasting, he guides people to detox their bodies and minds, reclaim their health, and elevate their personal power. With over 50 years of experience, Sifu Rafael has impacted thousands through his programs, coaching, and 8 global live shows, empowering individuals to rise stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally. His mission is simple but powerful: To help people master their voice, lead with clarity, and transform their lives from the inside out. sifu@speakingprowess.com https://zcal.co/sifurafael/spi https://www.facebook.com/SifuRafaelG/ https://www.instagram.com/fitnessbyrafael/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sifurafael/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Rooted in scripture, mentorship, and the call to servant leadership, this message equips men, veterans, and entrepreneurs to live what they speak, embody resilience, and build lasting legacy. Those who hear will hear, and those who don’t will still hear—because awakening is contagious, and it starts with you. Anthony Cutno was raised between the vibrant cultures of New Orleans and Atlanta, Georgia. He enlisted in the Air Force before making the ultimate transition to the Marine Corps. Medically retiring in June 2018 after over a decade of military service. Embodying triumph and trauma alike, he has emerged as a dynamic motivational and inspirational speaker, turning personal trauma into fuel for others. A published voice in multiple anthologies, currently writing his 2 books, publishing another for incarcerated men. On stage, he brings raw unfiltered authenticity using his life as the canvas, sharing raw truths, and exposing vulnerability to ignite transformation. Intentionally turning trauma into motivation and empowering every audience with tools to overcome, grow, and thrive. Anthony uses lessons learned from the Marine Corps, breakthroughs in recovery. He delivers high-impact storytelling rooted in servant leadership, resilience, and irrepressible spirit making each talk not only inspirational but deeply actionable. devinewarriorsdimension@gmail.com https://www.devinewarriorsdimensions.com https://www.facebook.com/anthony.cutno.3 https://www.instagram.com/anthony504_usmc/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-cutno-1b132495/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Yet against all odds, i did and became the person i am today. And, i get asked this question all the time: "How Do You Do It?" And, what it takes to go from ordinary to extraordinary and the steps one can take to become the person they only dreamed about. Meet Terry Yoffe, CPCC, PCC 3X Certified International Business and Communications Coach, who has been coaching for over 20 years. She has spent many years in both corporate and entrepreneurial roles. With 60 years of wisdom, business savvy and life experiences, she has learned how to face change head-on with resilience, persistence and perseverance by stepping into that arena every day, fighting, meeting failure head on and yet returning to look life in the face each day with courage, discipline and uncovering her own inner strength and power. Each day, she continues to do the work required to grow, transform and become the very best version of herself As a committed and very successful coach, she has helped hundreds break through what’s holding them back and build the mindset that drives success, whether in the corporate or entrepreneurial areas, as well as those that want to embrace ageism, career pivots by reinventing themselves and helping clients learn the secrets to mastering life and creating the changes they want to achieve. At 82, she believes that you are never too old or too late to reset your mindset, live with purpose and create impact. She is honored that the relationships she builds with her clients, allows them to cut through the stories they tell themselves, step out of their comfort zones to gain greater self-awareness, personal fulfillment and both personal and professional success.

But the truth is, your journey can start right where you are, inside an organization. Intra-preneurship is the art of applying entrepreneurial thinking as an employee: spotting opportunities, innovating solutions, and driving growth as if you owned the business yourself. In this talk, we’ll explore how you can leverage entrepreneurial skills, such as creativity, problem solving, leadership, and opportunity recognition, to create new value within your company. By taking ownership of projects, identifying untapped revenue streams, and innovating processes, you can generate more money-making opportunities both for the business and for yourself. Along the way, you sharpen the exact same muscles that world-class entrepreneurs rely on: resilience, adaptability, negotiation, and execution. Practicing entrepreneurship inside the safety of an organization prepares you to eventually launch your own venture with confidence and momentum. This session will give you a roadmap for: Turning your job into a launchpad for entrepreneurial skill-building. Recognizing and pitching intrapreneurial opportunities that benefit both you and your employer. Building a portfolio of wins that position you for leadership, or future business ownership. The Intra-preneurship Map to Freedom isn’t just about earning more—it’s about transforming the way you see yourself, your work, and your future. Giovanny Ramirez has over 12 years of experience coaching entry and mid-level professionals to advance their careers. His proven methods have helped countless clients excel in interviews, with a special emphasis on building unique connections to gain a competitive edge. Known for his transformational coaching style, Giovanny empowers individuals to build confidence and achieve work-life fulfillment. He brings a wealth of professional expertise, having held roles in retail, business, and finance operations within 10 companies across CT and NY. Currently, he serves as Assistant Vice President of Closings at Fifth Season Investments LLC, an alternative investment firm. A graduate with honors in Business Administration (Marketing and Management), Giovanny blends his corporate experience and passion for personal development to tailor his advice to each client. Beyond his coaching and professional work, he is a motivational speaker, a communications expert, and community collaborator, driven by a deep belief in the human spirit and its power to inspire societal change. info@giovannyramirez.com www.giovannyramirez.com https://www.facebook.com/giovanny.ramirez.IntraViews https://www.instagram.com/theworldofgio/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/giovanny-ramirez/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

No matter how hard we try to avoid adversity and uncertainty, stuff happens and no one is immune to the pitfalls of life’s fury. Andi Buerger shares her powerful personal journey and extraordinary resolve to live forward despite incomprehensible adversity. Her distinctive stories, vivid illustrations, and practical truths will inspire attendees and offer hope to those who feel they might never get out of their life pit. Andi shares that even blind faith is better than no faith at all. Through compounded tragedies, desperate grief, business fumbles and failures, personal betrayals, physical debilitation, and so much more, God’s voice at age five is the voice that led Andi to stay in the game of life and move forward to help others, including herself. She shares how impacting even the smallest prayer and tiniest choice can truly move a mountain. Moving mountains like despair, frustration, disappointments, resentment, brokenness, depression, and unforgiveness, allows us to clearly see the path forward to ultimate fulfillment. Like Peter the Apostle who walked towards Jesus on the water, as long as he stayed focused on what mattered most, he had no fear! When we lose our focus, we lose our footing, our confidence, and start drowning in the ocean of uncertainty and disbelief. Andi shares the power of acknowledgement versus acceptance, examples of fearless faith in action, how forgiveness accelerates living forward, and choices you can make today to get back on track or to enhance the forward living path you’re already on. Andi Buerger is the Founder and Chair of Voices Against Trafficking™, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to ending human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. She also co-founded Beulah’s Place, another nonprofit which served at-risk homeless teens in danger of abuse, trafficking or other criminally predatory activities. Andi, herself a victim of unspeakable abuse, is a highly sought-after international speaker and advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Andi’s books are available online at Amazon.com including her newest release, Voices Against Trafficking - Courage Is Contagious. Her magazine, Voices Of Courage® is available on VoicesOfCourage.media. Andi is regularly heard across the airwaves and on television podcasts, speaking on Capitol Hill and for government agencies, universities, churches, businesses, and more in the U.S. and abroad. By sharing her personal story, Andi is creating greater awareness of human trafficking, child exploitation, and the devastating cost to America's future. info@voicesagainsttrafficking.com https://voicesagainsttrafficking.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VoicesAgainstTrafficking https://www.instagram.com/voices_against_trafficking/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/voices-against-trafficking/posts/?feedView=all   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Have you faced a loss so deep that it left you questioning if you would ever find your way forward? Life has a way of bringing moments that stop us in our tracks—times when the path ahead is unclear, and the weight of what we’ve been through feels almost unbearable. In those moments, we’re faced with a choice: to stay buried in the rubble or to rise and step forward into something new. In this deeply moving talk, speaker and creative resilience coach Jenny Burba invites you into her journey of navigating profound loss, finding healing, and experiencing an awakening that redefined her purpose. With honesty and hope, she shares how seasons of hardship can become training grounds for compassion, courage, and purposeful leadership. Today, Jenny uses her story to equip others with hope and practical strategies for stepping into leadership, even when life feels broken. Attendees will walk away with: • Encouragement that God can use every season for good • A deeper understanding of leadership as service, not status • Tangible steps to begin leading from a place of authenticity and faith • A reminder that it’s possible to rise while you’re still healing This message is for anyone who has faced adversity and wonders if they still have something to give. Jenny’s story is proof that you can be both wounded and wise—and that your greatest trials can become the foundation of your greatest impact. Her awakening is a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, you can rise, lead, and live out your calling with courage and grace. Jenny Burba is a spirit-led speaker, graphic designer, and creative resilience coach who helps people turn life’s deepest losses into a platform for hope and purpose. A wife, remarried to an incredible husband, mother of thirteen (including two bonus children), and grandmother of three, Jenny has walked through the challenges of teen motherhood, a difficult first marriage, the stillbirth of her 8th child, and the loss of her first husband to COVID. Rooted in faith and fueled by creativity, she has transformed her own seasons of hardship into a life of service, encouragement, and leadership. Jenny inspires others to discover strength in their stories, to approach leadership with compassion and integrity, and to step into opportunities that honor both their journey and their calling. jenny@burbadesigns.com https://www.burbadesigns.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.burba.1982/ https://www.instagram.com/burbadesigns/ www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferburba82   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

They eat healthy, stopped watching toxic news, practice yoga. They feel enlightened. But awakening isn't about swapping beliefs—it's about developing the capacity to question everything, especially what you're most certain about. At sixteen, Joshua Hale was disfellowshipped from his religious community for choosing love over conformity. That moment began a two-decade journey through multiple cages: addiction, corporate dependency, and financial systems designed to maintain control. Your brain is literally wired to keep you asleep. Every belief you accept without examination becomes a groove in your mind, making similar beliefs easier to accept and harder to question. In this talk, Joshua reveals three practical tools for genuine awakening: the ancient Trivium Method for critical thinking, AI as a self discovery tool rather than threat, and how to build parallel systems that align with your values. Real freedom requires courage to question everything and build alternatives. Your consciousness is the most revolutionary force on Earth. Joshua Hale is a freedom advocate, AI consultant, and consciousness entrepreneur who has spent over a decade helping individuals break free from limiting systems and build empowered, intentional lives. After being kicked out from his religious community at 16, Joshua navigated addiction, 9-5 wage slave, and societal conditioning before discovering the tools for genuine transformation. He now lives on a family homestead in Bellingham, Washington, where he combines holistic living principles with cutting-edge AI technology. As the creator of the Entrepreneur's Compass, Joshua has guided hundreds of conscious entrepreneurs through systematic business and personal transformation. His work integrates ancient wisdom practices like the Trivium Method with modern technology, empowering clients to build businesses and communities aligned with their deepest values. A father, DJ, and mutual aid leader, Joshua's mission is simple: help awakened individuals create the parallel systems our world desperately needs. jh@joshuahale.io https://joshuahale.io https://www.facebook.com/IAMJoshuaHale https://www.instagram.com/iamjoshuahale/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjoshuahale/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Grief shook her identity, her voice, her faith. And just when the silence felt deafening, God whispered four life-changing commands: “Remember Who You Are. Remember Whose You Are. Boldly Step Forward. Show Your Crown.” In this powerful and deeply personal talk, Elena shares her raw journey through pain, surrender, and spiritual awakening.

For the kings and queens in hiding, waiting for a sign. Let this be your awakening. You don’t have to earn your crown. You just have to remember it was always yours. Elena Rodriguez is the powerhouse behind Show Your Crown Enterprises and founder of the Prospera TV Network, leading a global movement to help faith-driven visionaries rise, lead, and be seen. A widowed mother turned empire builder, Elena transformed personal tragedy into a platform of purpose, becoming an award-winning speaker, media mentor, and voice of divine assignment.

This talk will walk attendees through the exact mindset shifts and heart-led strategies Angeline used to go from rock bottom to creating a business that heals, uplifts, and empowers women around the world. You’ll learn: ✅ How to transform your personal story into a mission-driven movement ✅ The keys to building a business that aligns with your faith and values ✅ How to serve others while healing yourself ✅ How to create real impact (and income) through your voice and testimony This is more than just a motivational message—it’s a blueprint for turning adversity into assignment, and setbacks into soul-aligned success.

Angeline Constantinou knows what it’s like to feel trapped, to lose your voice, and to wonder if life will ever feel safe again. After breaking free from an abusive relationship, she made it her mission to help other women do the same.

Russ Rogers: Author, Speaker, Movement Maker, and Family Wellness Advocate Russ Rogers is not your typical author—he’s a heart-led visionary on a mission to get families moving, growing, and thriving together. With a passion for transformation and a deep commitment to community, Russ founded MoveToday365 to inspire healthier, more connected lives through movement and mindfulness. His journey began with a heart for service—working in an orphanage, leading as a youth pastor, and coaching children. These experiences shaped his unwavering belief in the power of positive influence, especially in the early years of a child’s life. Russ has spent years uplifting families and creating environments where kids can flourish. The idea for MoveToday365 was born mid-flight, during a moment of reflection that became a turning point. Fueled by purpose, Russ went on to write five books—his movement-based activity series designed for families with children from infancy to age five. The launch event at Mr. Toot’s Coffeehouse in Capitola, California, on June 10th, 2023, was just the beginning of what would become a vibrant and growing movement. From hosting monthly community walks in Santa Cruz to championing screen-free time at home, Russ is igniting a global conversation about the importance of everyday movement. His Community Strides initiative is designed as a global event that can take place in neighborhoods anywhere—making it easy for any community to join the movement and bring families together through joyful action. Russ’s infectious energy, creative spirit, and heart for families are at the core of everything he does. Join him and the MoveToday365 community in making movement a lifestyle—one family, one step, one adventure at a time.

Spoiler: it’s not splitting everything 50/50 or keeping score of who emptied the dishwasher last. (Seriously, stop doing that.) In this fun, fast-paced, and some might say, unconventional talk, Meredith &amp; Craig will share how they turned their own marriage into the ultimate superpower for their life and business. As marriage coaches for entrepreneurs, they know firsthand that when your relationship is clicking, you’re unstoppable. But when it’s not? It’s like trying to run a marathon with a pebble in your shoe—and that pebble is also on fire. The key? Stop treating your marriage like a business transaction (or worse, a competition) and start treating it like what it really is: a team sport. Through relatable stories, practical wisdom, and humor, you’ll learn about the 200% marriage —a simple mindset shift that turns you and your partner into teammates working toward the same big, audacious goals. You’ll also discover the 5 commitments all great teammates make, like how to communicate without turning every discussion into a debate, how to resolve conflict without needing a referee, and—most importantly—how to have fun together (because marriage without laughter is just a reallllllllly long meeting). By the end of this talk, you’ll walk away with: · A new way of looking at your marriage that’s equal parts inspiring and achievable. · Tools to handle the hard stuff, laugh through the awkward stuff, and build something amazing together. · Permission to stop keeping score and start actually winning in life. If you’re ready to create a marriage so solid it fuels your business, your dreams, and your life—this is your playbook. Let’s build your 200% marriage…and have a blast doing it! Meredith &amp; Craig former corporate ninjas turned rockstar entrepreneurs, left behind the unfulfilling 9-5 corporate grind when the company they both worked for closed their office and wanted them to move across the country. Harnessing their secret weapon – their rock-solid marriage – these adventure-seeking nomads help couples reignite joy, fun, and connection so they can transform their relationship into their secret weapon for building extraordinary lives together. As coaches, authors, international speakers, and co-hosts of the Road of Life Podcast, they bring a unique and authentic mix of humor, empathy, and a dash of tough love to take relationships from surviving to thriving, having a whole lot of fun in the process. Unconventional but effective, they get no greater joy than watching their clients reconnect, become a true team and crush life together. hello@roadoflifecoaching.com https://roadoflifecoaching.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mfmackay; https://www.facebook.com/cshbennett https://www.instagram.com/meredithandcraig/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/meredithandcraig/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Without alignment, even the most talented leaders find themselves struggling with miscommunication, burnout, and diminished influence. Leadership Alignment: Decoding the Blueprint for Influence &amp; Impact introduces a breakthrough framework designed to close that gap. Drawing on the Human Alignment Code™, Paul E. McFadden reveals how leaders can decode hidden barriers, re-align with their authentic blueprint, and lead from a place of congruence and power. This session offers more than theory — it delivers a practical and transformative lens that leaders can apply immediately. Participants will explore how alignment: Elevates influence by creating resonance and trust with teams, clients, and communities. Amplifies impact by channeling energy and focus into the right actions at the right time. Sustains leadership performance by integrating clarity, resilience, and adaptability into daily practice. Whether you are leading a team, scaling a business, or guiding a movement, Leadership Alignment equips you with the tools to not only navigate complexity but thrive within it. This is not about adopting another leadership style — it’s about awakening the inner blueprint that allows you to embody influence, expand impact, and lead with unstoppable clarity. Prepare to discover a new dimension of leadership — one rooted in alignment, decoded through the Human Alignment Code™, and designed for lasting transformation. Paul E. McFadden is the Founder and CEO of Evolve Human Potential and the visionary behind the Becoming Human 2.0 Movement. A Navy veteran, best-selling author, and host of the Becoming Human 2.0 Unscripted podcast, Paul blends neuroscience, leadership strategy, and transformational frameworks to help leaders unlock their highest potential. He is the creator of the Human Alignment Code™, a groundbreaking blueprint that empowers executives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to align purpose with performance, elevate influence, and expand impact. Known for his raw, authentic style and ability to translate complex ideas into practical action, Paul has guided leaders across industries to break barriers, transcend limitations, and embody aligned leadership. Through his coaching, keynotes, and global platforms, Paul is redefining what it means to lead in today’s rapidly evolving world — with clarity, alignment, and unstoppable momentum. paul.mcfadden@evolvehumanpotential.co https://evolvehumanpotential.co/ https://www.facebook.com/iam.paulmcfadden1 https://www.instagram.com/iam.paulmcfadden/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/iampaulmcfadden/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

But momentum without meaning only leads to burnout. In this inspiring and practical talk, high-performance coach Rob Tracz debunks the myth that success comes from doing more, knowing more people, or being constantly “on.” Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: real momentum begins with clarity and connection. Through powerful personal stories — from EDM festivals and rugby fields to hospital rooms and Yankees games — Rob shares how losing himself in the grind led to a powerful realization: you don’t need more people in your life, you need more presence in your relationships. Backed by his signature frameworks — Pirate’s F.L.A.G. and the Team Triangle — this talk provides a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, scattered, or stalled out. Audience members will walk away with: A renewed sense of purpose Clear action steps to build real confidence and direction Tools to strengthen their inner circle and support system This isn’t a motivational hype session — it’s a moment of reconnection. A call to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Because when you stop spinning and start aligning… That’s when you start winning. Rob Tracz is a performance coach, keynote speaker, and podcast host helping solopreneurs and side hustlers escape burnout, rebuild momentum, and lead themselves with clarity and confidence. Through his signature Prime Performance framework, Rob blends self-leadership, behavior design, and communication strategy to help clients take control of their habits, energy, and impact—so they can look good, feel good, and do great things. info@robtracz.com https://robtracz.com/ https://www.facebook.com/robert.tracz.750/ https://www.instagram.com/robtracz/ www.linkedin.com/in/robtracz   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

In this transformative talk, you’ll discover how self-love isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s the fundamental key to creating the deep, connected relationships you’ve always craved. After experiencing the devastating pattern of being cheated on and abandoned in every relationship, including his marriage, our speaker faced a moment of profound awakening. Rather than blame his ex-wife’s affair, he recognized the painful truth: the common denominator was him. This realization sparked a journey that would completely transform his understanding of love, worthiness, and human connection. Through raw vulnerability and hard-won wisdom, he’ll share how he discovered that unconditional love must first flow inward before it can authentically flow outward. You’ll learn about the Four Pillars to Freedom—mind, body, relationship, and environment—and how mastering these areas creates a foundation for lasting transformation. This isn’t another self-help presentation filled with empty platitudes. This is a genuine roadmap for breaking free from the cycle of seeking external validation and learning to give yourself the love you once believed only others could provide. You’ll discover how healing your inner child and embracing radical self-acceptance becomes the catalyst for creating the clarity, freedom, and safety necessary for meaningful relationships in every area of your life. Walk away understanding that how you do anything truly is how you do everything—and that your greatest heartbreak might just be your greatest gift.

Trust is often seen as a singular, intangible quality, but it is actually a complex structure built on several key elements. Understanding these elements can help individuals and organizations foster stronger, more reliable connections. At its core, trust is built on the pillars of reliability, honesty, and integrity. Reliability refers to the consistency of actions and behaviors over time. When someone is reliable, they follow through on their promises and commitments, creating a sense of predictability and dependability. Honesty involves transparency and truthfulness in communication. It means being open about intentions, admitting mistakes, and providing accurate information. Integrity is the alignment of actions with values and principles, ensuring that one's behavior is ethical and moral. Another critical component of trust is competence. This refers to the ability to perform tasks effectively and efficiently. In professional settings, competence is crucial as it assures others that one has the necessary skills and knowledge to fulfill their responsibilities. Empathy and emotional intelligence also play significant roles in the anatomy of trust. Empathy involves understanding and sharing the feelings of others, which fosters a sense of connection and mutual respect. Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage one's emotions and understand the emotions of others, facilitating better communication and conflict resolution. Finally, trust requires vulnerability. It involves taking risks and being open to the possibility of disappointment or betrayal. This vulnerability is what makes trust so valuable and powerful; it is a testament to the strength and resilience of the relationship. The anatomy of trust is a multifaceted construct that relies on reliability, honesty, integrity, competence, empathy, emotional intelligence, and vulnerability. By nurturing these elements, individuals and organizations can build and maintain strong, trusting relationships.

In this talk, I share how pain, rejection, and isolation often carry hidden treasures—lessons, clarity, and divine direction. Just like gold is buried deep and refined through fire, our greatest value is often uncovered through struggles. This session will remind you that discomfort isn’t a punishment—it’s preparation. Sometimes, God hides purpose in pain to reveal strength, birth vision, and lead you into your true calling. William Plange is a speaker, coach, and 9x international bestselling author whose life proves that no human is ever truly useless. Born in Ghana, he once disappeared into the forest, overwhelmed by depression and self-doubt. In that solitude, he discovered purpose and birthed NO HUMAN IS USELESS, a nonprofit movement dedicated to helping people break free from shame, heal emotional wounds, and reclaim their worth. William’s raw storytelling and global impact have inspired thousands and earned him the Caribbean Global Award in the UK for his work in depression recovery. He is now launching the first NO HUMAN IS USELESS Annual Conference—a safe space for those fighting silent battles—with plans to take this message of hope to Canada, the UK, the USA, and South Africa. William's journey from despair to purpose is a reminder that within every broken story lies the power to heal and transform. info@nohumanisuseless.com https://nohumanisuseless.com/ https://web.facebook.com/WilliamPlange.mrplange/ https://www.instagram.com/no_human_is_useless?igsh=NXJiNzByeHoydXk4&amp;utm_source=qr https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamplange/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

This is a time-tested way in which a service minded approach is executed when someone really wants to help people solve their problems, and to earn the reputation of personal referrals. Authors, coaches, and entrepreneurs create content to tell stories, to help people develop and transform, and to sell their services and products. It does not make sense to spend a great deal of time and money focused on creating content, product, and attracting clients, but to then neglect the use of high-quality human voice acting and top-level audio quality when creating and enhancing the media and content. It’s critical to be able to recognize that today, clients, consumers, and buyers take in content in many new ways. These new ways reinforce the power of tapping into the sound of the human instrument – the voice – is used to connect person-to-person, hear-to-heart. The written content tells your stories. It creates a world that the reader, the observer connects to. Now, think of how much more powerful your messages would be, how the way in which you give the knowledge that you market and sell would be if you found a way to transform your voice and message using the sound and use of a compelling human voice. The pressure to expand and grow your business, to increase your client satisfaction and boost referrals, are all top of mind to the entrepreneur and business owner. Strategically using a versatile, experienced and creative human voice talent to communicate your words, to highlight your services and all their parts is a strategic marketing power. Understanding the way in which you can incorporate this into your business model will help you to transform and enhance your voice and message wherever it goes in the wilderness of the world.

In this talk, Life By Design Not Default: Thriving After Cancer, I share how a life-altering diagnosis became the catalyst for deep transformation. At first, I was just trying to survive. But over time, I began asking bigger questions: How do I want to live? What am I truly hungry for? Those questions led me on a powerful journey through the three pillars of healing—mental, physical, and spiritual. I’ll share what each pillar looks like in real life, how trauma and limiting beliefs can keep us stuck, and how we can begin to move from survivor mode into a life of purpose, connection, and joy. This isn’t just a talk about cancer—it’s about reclaiming your power, rewriting your story, and designing a life that feels aligned, intentional, and fulfilling. Whether you're a survivor, caregiver, or someone navigating life after a major disruption, you’ll walk away with practical tools, hope, and a reminder that healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s journey but your own. Zoraida Morales is a Certified Transformational Nutrition Cancer Coach, speaker, author, and cancer thriver dedicated to helping others heal beyond the diagnosis. After 13 years of chemotherapy for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and now over 46 months in remission, she left a successful career in finance to follow her purpose. Zoraida empowers survivors and caregivers through her signature Three Pillars of Nutrition: Mental, Physical, and Spiritual framework—guiding them to manage anxiety, nourish their bodies, and shift from surviving to thriving. She’s been featured in Perspectives on Cancer Volume II and shares her story through conferences, podcasts, and community events. Zoraida also holds a Professional Certificate in Project Management from Rutgers School of Business and blends heart with strategy in all she does. A joyful mother of two, she finds peace in yoga, astrology, and salsa dancing—and lives by her mantra: Life By Design Not Default®. zoraida@zoraidamorales.com https://zoraidamorales.com/ https://www.facebook.com/zoraida.morales.1428/ https://www.instagram.com/z.morales2018/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoraida-morales/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

But over time, I began asking bigger questions: How do I want to live? What am I truly hungry for? Those questions led me on a powerful journey through the three pillars of healing—mental, physical, and spiritual. I’ll share what each pillar looks like in real life, how trauma and limiting beliefs can keep us stuck, and how we can begin to move from survivor mode into a life of purpose, connection, and joy. This isn’t just a talk about cancer—it’s about reclaiming your power, rewriting your story, and designing a life that feels aligned, intentional, and fulfilling. Whether you're a survivor, caregiver, or someone navigating life after a major disruption, you’ll walk away with practical tools, hope, and a reminder that healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s journey but your own. Zoraida Morales is a Certified Transformational Nutrition Cancer Coach, speaker, author, and cancer thriver dedicated to helping others heal beyond the diagnosis. After 13 years of chemotherapy for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and now over 46 months in remission, she left a successful career in finance to follow her purpose. Zoraida empowers survivors and caregivers through her signature Three Pillars of Nutrition: Mental, Physical, and Spiritual framework—guiding them to manage anxiety, nourish their bodies, and shift from surviving to thriving. She’s been featured in Perspectives on Cancer Volume II and shares her story through conferences, podcasts, and community events. Zoraida also holds a Professional Certificate in Project Management from Rutgers School of Business and blends heart with strategy in all she does. A joyful mother of two, she finds peace in yoga, astrology, and salsa dancing—and lives by her mantra: Life By Design Not Default®. zoraida@zoraidamorales.com https://zoraidamorales.com/ https://www.facebook.com/zoraida.morales.1428/ https://www.instagram.com/z.morales2018/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoraida-morales/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

In this powerful keynote, decorated Navy Chief veteran, serial entrepreneur, and bestselling author Bill Korman reveals the breakthrough that top performers use to gain control, focus, and fulfillment.

If you’ve ever wondered where starting a podcast could take you, this will open up eyes. The possibilities are endless and they’re waiting for you.

The pressure can be overwhelming – but it's also where extraordinary leaders are forged. Join Elaine Lankford as she shares her journey of simultaneously building an LLC and a nonprofit organization while expanding operations from the United States to Kenya. As both a business owner pursuing a personal coaching practice and a President/Executive Director leading seven team members across her nonprofit, she's navigated the intense pressure of multi-entity leadership in real-time. This isn't about perfect balance – it's about strategic resilience. When you're responsible for different organizational cultures, funding streams, regulatory environments, and impact missions, traditional leadership advice falls short. The daily pressure of keeping multiple entities thriving while pursuing expansion across international borders requires a completely different playbook. In this session, you'll discover: • How to maintain clarity and focus when pulled in multiple directions across different organizations • The mindset shifts that transform overwhelming pressure into organizational power • Practical systems for managing day-to-day operations across diverse entities • Strategic approaches to international expansion while building domestic foundations • Leadership techniques that work whether you're coaching individuals or directing teams of seven (or more). Drawing from real experiences of building in both for-profit and nonprofit sectors, this talk reveals how strength, courage, tenacity, and determination aren't just personal qualities – they're organizational assets that can be systematically developed and leveraged. Whether you're considering multi-entity ventures or currently drowning in the complexity, you'll leave with concrete strategies to forge the future you envision and create the transformation your missions demand. The pressure doesn't disappear – but you'll discover how to turn it into your greatest competitive advantage. Elaine is a passionate advocate for Christian female entrepreneurs and founder of She Steps Forward Coaching and She Steps Forward International (SSFI). As a certified John Maxwell Team member, she combines expertise in speaking, leadership development, and entrepreneurial coaching with a faith-based approach to help women step confidently into their God-sized dreams. Through her coaching practice, she provides strategic planning and individualized support to aspiring entrepreneurs, while SSFI, her nonprofit organization, equips both American and African women to lead impactful ventures. The organization hosts annual women's conferences in both continents and operates a Seed Money Grant program supporting rising Christian female entrepreneurs. Under Elaine's leadership, SSFI also conducts humanitarian work in Nairobi, Kenya, furthering its mission of empowering women globally. elaine@shestepsforwardcoaching.com https://www.shestepsforwardcoaching.com/ https://www.facebook.com/shestepsforwardcoaching https://www.instagram.com/shestepsforward_coaching/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/elaine-lankford-a54a8b2b5/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

But somewhere along the way, that freedom gets buried under endless to-do lists, team drama, and operational chaos. You didn’t build a business to be its employee... Here’s the truth most founders learn the hard way: Leadership without systems is a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. And systems without a strong team culture? That’s just micromanagement in disguise. In this session, I’ll walk you through how values-driven leadership, aligned team dynamics, and operational clarity are the keys to scaling with sanity. You’ll see why systems don’t replace people—they empower them. When your team has clarity, accountability, and shared purpose, you’re free to focus on what you do best: leading, innovating, and enjoying the life you built this business for. This isn’t about building a corporate machine. It’s about building a company that supports you—whether you’re leading a small team or looking to scale bigger. If you’re feeling stuck in the weeds, constantly pulled into problems you shouldn’t be solving, this conversation will help you step back into your rightful role. Because the goal isn't just to run a business. It's to run a business that doesn't run you. Rebecca Kallaus is the Founder and CEO of Business Done Better, where she helps entrepreneurs simplify and scale their businesses through smart operations, strong team culture, and values-driven leadership. She built a team of A+ players, setting a new standard for how businesses can thrive without chaos. Known for turning operational overwhelm into clarity and aligned momentum, Rebecca shows business owners how to build companies that run smoothly—without running them over. Her approach centers on the belief that systems empower people, not replace them, freeing leaders to focus on what they do best. With a blend of radical transparency, compassionate leadership, and practical execution, Rebecca is redefining what it means to build business better. hello@businessdonebetter.co https://businessdonebetter.co/ https://www.facebook.com/RebeccaSKallaus/ https://www.instagram.com/bizdonebetter/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccaskallaus/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

In her talk, “From Weakness to Wellness: Fighting with My Faith,” Farrah Campbell opens up about her deeply personal battle between flesh and faith—a fight marked by cycles of shame, emotional eating, and spiritual exhaustion. Farrah’s journey isn’t about superficial change or self-discipline alone. It’s about surrendering to God’s power and allowing faith to heal from the inside out. As founder of Waisted Wellness and owner of Joyful Touch Cleaning—a residential, commercial, and luxury houseboat cleaning company—she knows firsthand how to turn life’s pressure into purpose and power. Through heartfelt storytelling and practical insight, Farrah invites listeners to: Recognize and break free from shame and self-sabotage Embrace faith as the foundation for true, lasting wellness Take intentional steps toward healing both body and soul Her message is a bold reminder: your body is not your enemy, your faith is your fiercest ally, and victory over life’s battles is possible—one surrendered step at a time. This talk is for anyone tired of striving and ready to find freedom by trading weakness for wellness, pressure for power, and fear for faith. Farrah Campbell is a Christian wellness coach, speaker, and entrepreneur dedicated to helping people overcome cycles of shame, burnout, and self-sabotage through faith and intentional living. She is the founder of Waisted Wellness, a Christ-centered program empowering individuals to honor their bodies and embrace holistic health. Farrah also owns Joyful Touch Cleaning, a residential, commercial, and luxury houseboat cleaning company known for excellence and joyful service. Through her combined work in wellness and business, she shows how healing starts from the inside out.

In this empowering session, Frankie Macias shares his transformative journey from his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the United States. At just 17, he arrived in a new country, barely speaking the language, and set out to build a life from the ground up. After earning a degree in electronics and working 20 years in corporate America, Frankie did the unthinkable—he walked away from stability to build his own business alongside his wife, Bold Impression Media. Through personal stories, humor, and raw honesty, Frankie reveals how fear sometimes tried to keep him small and how choosing faith, vision, and action helped him rise above it. This talk is for dreamers, doers, and those stuck at the edge of “what if.” You’ll walk away with practical mindset shifts, inspiration to chase your passion, and the courage to create your own version of success, no matter your starting point. Frankie Macias is the co-founder of Bold Impression Media, a strategic branding agency helping businesses elevate their impact through photography, videography, and visual storytelling. Born and raised in Mexico, Frankie immigrated to the U.S. at 17, earned a degree in electronics, and climbed the corporate ladder for two decades. But it was his passion for creative storytelling and bold decision-making that led him to entrepreneurship. Known for his warm energy and relentless optimism, Frankie now helps business owners overcome fear, embrace their identity, and grow with confidence. He is currently authoring a book about his life journey—proof that mindset and grit can turn any challenge into an opportunity. frankie@boldimpressionmedia.com https://boldimpressionmedia.com/ https://www.facebook.com/frankiemaciasjr https://www.instagram.com/frankie_olga_macias   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

How do you build a forge? With a little spark of imagination and intentionality. It may begin as a fleeting idea. You spend a few minutes here and there with the idea. You take a few minutes here and there to doodle, write, or create a Lego structure. You wonder who might give you advice. You start adding time to work on your idea to your calendar. You are creating something that will be used to create even more things. There may only be a few minutes a day to work on this vision. You discuss your vision with people you trust. Together you create a team of advisors to discuss and refine your ideas. Building a forge takes energy, raw materials, planning and time. It requires many people working together to create. Once built it looks easy. Yet, the forging process is made up of many small steps: pulling together the funding and management, finding a location, hiring the right builders, training the employees, working safely, developing new processes to manufacture different products, creating safety processes that keep workers alive and healthy for the long haul. How does this get done? With small daily steps: showing up on time, deciding on daily production goals, setting long-term budgets, running daily safety meetings, measuring production by the hour, maintaining relationships with suppliers, coordinating safety drills with the local rescue squads, etc. It all begins with a few minutes here and a few minutes there, every day. Anna Diaz started life liking puzzles, games, science, math and going to school. The liking school did not last very long but her love of learning lasted. Her Father had always told her that if she went to college she would do well, but if she wanted to do really well she had to start her own business. Here was the dilemma because she did not see anything that really called her attention. She knew people who owned stories, bakeries, garages and factories who worked even when the business was closed. She studied chemical engineering and worked in manufacturing before joining the consulting world. Eventually she met people who were enjoying both their work and their lives. Now she helps protect people and businesses from identity theft and gives them the ability to talk to an attorney without worrying about the high hourly cost. amdiaz25@gmail.com https://annadiaz.legalshieldassociate.com https://www.facebook.com/annie.diaz.545/ https://www.instagram.com/anniedlove/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/annadiaz/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

This session cuts through the noise to reveal why an AI strategy isn't a luxury or future concept — it's a present-day necessity for scalability and sustained growth. Kristy Barber will break down how AI can be a practical tool to drive better decisions, cut operational costs, and unlock new revenue — but only if it's approached with the right mindset. Instead of million-dollar experiments or trendy pilot programs, SMBs need clear, executable plans that prioritize business outcomes, resource realities, and customer value. Attendees will learn: * How to assess where AI can deliver real cost savings. * Why execution — not experimentation — determines success. * The biggest mistakes SMBs make when adopting AI (and how to avoid them). * How to build an AI strategy that scales as your business grows. This talk is built for business owners, operators, and leaders who are tired of abstract ideas and want a grounded path forward. AI isn't just for tech giants — it's a practical tool for SMBs willing to approach it with focus, discipline, and purpose. Kristy is passionate about helping small businesses thrive. With a background in accounting and process improvement, she specializes in identifying bottlenecks, streamlining workflows, and optimizing resources to drive sustainable growth. Her work goes beyond technical expertise—Kristy brings empathy and strong communication to every client relationship, ensuring solutions are tailored to each business’s unique goals and challenges. Nothing is more rewarding to her than seeing clients succeed and knowing she played a role in their journey.

In this eye-opening and soul-awakening talk, Sabine Patricia Poncelet—Somatic Coach, Quantum Healer, and Mind-Body-Soul Therapist—exposes the hidden cost of hustle culture and reveals why pressure is not the path to power. Drawing from years of deep healing work with entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives, she shares why true success begins when you stop pushing—and start aligning. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode despite outward success, this talk will hit home. Sabine combines spiritual insight with grounded tools to help you recognize pressure as a sign of disconnection—and shows you exactly how to shift into a more powerful state of peace, clarity, and flow. You’ll walk away with practical tools to reset your energy, reclaim your presence, and lead with magnetism—without burning out. Because peace isn’t weakness. Peace is your superpower. This is not just a talk—it’s a permission slip to live, lead, and rise… differently. Meet Sabine Patricia Poncelet— Transpersonal Regression Therapist, Trance Channeler, Quantum Healer. Certified Life Coach, NLP Coach (RSCI). Blending science with spirituality, She works with people who are ready to break free from limitations. Her specialty lies in trauma liberation, psycho-spiritual integration, and deep healing. But her work isn’t just about pain—it's about potential.

Dr. Mary Edosomwan</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-twin-goals-of-human-existence-rev-dr-mary-edosomwan--64571191</link><description><![CDATA[Connected Leaders Academy In the grand tapestry of human existence, two themes stand as chronometer of our journey: life and death. These twin goals shape our aspirations, dreams, fears, and philosophies. They are the milestones that define our time on Earth, guiding our search for meaning and purpose. Living well and dying well encapsulates the essence of what it means to be human. As we navigate through the joys and tribulations of life, we continually strive for fulfillment, happiness, and a legacy that outlives us. Similarly, in facing the inevitable end, we seek dignity, peace, and a sense of closure. This exploration delves into the profound interplay between living a meaningful life and embracing death with grace, highlighting the ultimate pursuit of humanity in achieving a harmonious balance between the two. Discussing death openly in American society can bring profound benefits to both those facing the end of life and their loved ones left behind. When death remains a taboo subject, it can foster fear and anxiety. Open discussions about mortality help demystify the process, making it a more natural part of life. Open discussions about death also enable informed end-of-life decisions, such as creating advance directives and choosing hospice care, ensuring that preferences are respected and reducing uncertainty. Moreover, normalizing conversations about death creates a supportive environment for those grieving, helping alleviate feelings of loneliness and prevent complicated grief and depression. Addressing death provides a framework for mourning, allowing loved ones to prepare emotionally for the loss and facilitating the healing process. Acknowledging the inevitability of death can lead to a greater appreciation for life, encouraging mindfulness and the pursuit of meaningful activities. Lastly, such discussions also address practical aspects, like financial arrangements and funeral plans, easing the stress on those left behind.   Rev. Dr. Mary Edosomwan, Executive Director, Center for Grief and Wholeness a 501©3) Rev. Dr. Mary Edosomwan is a distinguished life coach, preacher, and mentor with over 40 years of international ministry experience. Her expertise includes bereavement management, acute and sudden death, anticipatory grief, complicated and prolonged grief, non-death loss, trauma, and life transitional issues. She is the author of "Broken-hearted: A Mother's Journey to Wholeness" and contributed to the Amazon best-selling anthology "Transforming Pain into Purpose: 15 Personal Stories of Resilience, Hope, and Renewal." Inspired by her journey to wholeness after losing her beloved son, Jay Amie, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, she founded the Center for Grief and Wholeness, a 501(c)(3) organization. The Center provides celebrations of life ceremonies, eulogies, processionals, recessionals, and interment services. She offers support and comfort to the broken-hearted, drawing on the solace she received during her own grief. She holds a Doctor of Ministry and Master of Divinity from Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University.   Info@cgandw.org www.cgandw.org https://www.facebook.com/CGWPage ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

That’s the essential first step. But then what? What do you do next? And the answer is… (drumroll please …) you make a plan. And the first step in making a plan is to get someone on your team who can help you create (and potentially execute) a GREAT plan.

You will gain great insights on how to do this from this stimulating and informative talk. Paul will introduce the five steps in his Confidence and Clarity Business Planning System, guiding you through defining your goals and objectives, determining your milestones and intermediate goals, creating your Business Foundation Profile ™, crafting your 90 Day Growth Plan, and developing your financial projections. These valuable insights will save you both time and money and will give you the Confidence and Clarity you need to Reboot and Go For It! Paul Hoyt has been a business consultant, coach, and fractional CFO for over 20 years. He has worked with hundreds of businesses and trained thousands more to help them develop and execute their growth plans, and he has the process down pat! Paul is the author of two business books, The Foundation Factor (2004, 2024) and The Capital Coaching Program (2010, 2024), and is also the author of four inspirational works. He published Remember - A Simple and Gentle Pathway to Spirit in 2005, and The Practice of Awakening – 150 Ways to Raise Your Consciousness Whenever You Choose in 2010. He is also the best-selling author of The Practice of Awakening II – The First Light of Joy (2013), and Surprises on the Road to Enlightenment (2023).

In Weakness to Warrior, bestselling author, speaker, and intuitive guide Stephanie Brandolini takes you on a journey through personal stories and universal strategies for transforming pain into power and fear into fuel. This talk gets real about the dichotomous dance between light and dark—the struggles within us and around us—and how they shape us, refine us, and reveal our warrior within. With her imaginative, intuitive, and empathic spiritual gifts, Stephanie shares profound insights and actionable techniques to help you: Reframe your biggest challenges into catalysts for transformation. Recognize the power within your wounds and how they can fuel your purpose. Step beyond fear and self-doubt to embrace a fearless, authentic life. Transcend limiting beliefs and break free from cycles of resistance. But this isn’t just another motivational talk. This is a raw, deeply honest exploration of the forces that shape us—the light and the shadows—and the choices we make in response. Expect more questions than answers, but also intend to leave inspired, activated, and ready to rise. Be prepared to heal. Be prepared to transform. Be prepared to step fully into your warrior strength and claim your legacy. Stephanie Brandolini is a two-time international best-selling author, award-winning screenwriter, speaker, and freedom business mentor from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. After graduating from film school, Stephanie worked her way up in the visual effects production world, gaining in-depth knowledge of the TV and film industry. Through her success and spirituality, Stephanie discovered a deeper calling to go all in on her writing and creative gifts to serve others through doing what she loves. Now, as a creative entrepreneur, she is on a mission to help driven individuals and families break free from the matrix, uplevel their health and finances, get their time back, and build a legacy.

The difference between those who struggle and those who scale isn’t talent or opportunity—it’s how they lead, how they think, and how they execute. The greatest leaders, entrepreneurs, and influencers don’t just build businesses; they build people, starting with themselves. In “The 7 Keys to Unlocking Leadership and Success,” I’ll take you behind the scenes of the hard-earned lessons I learned about leadership, business growth, and influence from my time in the military, traditional business, and ministry. These seven principles will change how you lead, make decisions, and create momentum—whether you’re scaling a company, building a brand, or leading a team. Success isn’t a mystery—it’s a strategy. When you master the mindset, habits, and execution of high-impact leaders, everything in your business and life shifts. In this session, you’ll learn: ✔ The strategy behind sustainable success in business and leadership. ✔ The mindset shifts that separate top performers from the average. ✔ The culture-building secret that fuels unstoppable momentum. ✔ The bold decision-making framework that unlocks exponential growth. ✔ The one factor that determines whether your success will be temporary or timeless. If you’re tired of playing small and ready to build something that actually lasts, this session is for you. You don’t need more motivation—you need a roadmap. The only question is: Are you ready to step into it? Andre Butler is a dynamic pastor, author, international speaker, and mentor with over 18 years of experience equipping individuals to overcome fear, break limitations, and fulfill their God-given purpose.

The greatest leaders, entrepreneurs, and influencers don’t just build businesses; they build people, starting with themselves. In “The 7 Keys to Unlocking Leadership and Success,” I’ll take you behind the scenes of the hard-earned lessons I learned about leadership, business growth, and influence from my time in the military, traditional business, and ministry. These seven principles will change how you lead, make decisions, and create momentum—whether you’re scaling a company, building a brand, or leading a team. Success isn’t a mystery—it’s a strategy. When you master the mindset, habits, and execution of high-impact leaders, everything in your business and life shifts. In this session, you’ll learn: ✔ The strategy behind sustainable success in business and leadership. ✔ The mindset shifts that separate top performers from the average. ✔ The culture-building secret that fuels unstoppable momentum. ✔ The bold decision-making framework that unlocks exponential growth. ✔ The one factor that determines whether your success will be temporary or timeless. If you’re tired of playing small and ready to build something that actually lasts, this session is for you. You don’t need more motivation—you need a roadmap. The only question is: Are you ready to step into it? Andre Butler is a dynamic pastor, author, international speaker, and mentor with over 18 years of experience equipping individuals to overcome fear, break limitations, and fulfill their God-given purpose.

Jason will dive into why branding matters, how iconic brands are built, and what businesses and individuals can do to stand out. He'll start with powerful real-world examples like how Apple transformed from a tech company into a lifestyle brand, or how Harley-Davidson sells more than motorcycles—it sells freedom. These stories illustrate how branding shapes perception, drives loyalty, and creates a lasting impact. The most successful brands—Tesla, Patagonia, Nike—don’t just sell products; they stand for something bigger. They inspire. But branding isn’t reserved for billion-dollar companies. Small businesses and solopreneurs like you can create an unforgettable brand by clearly defining your value proposition, using storytelling effectively, and embracing authenticity. Dollar Shave Club turned a $4,500 viral ad into a billion-dollar brand through humor and personality. Wendy’s Twitter strategy made the brand engaging, relevant, and fun. The lesson? Brands that connect emotionally don’t just survive—they thrive. After this presentation, you will leave with practical, immediately usable strategies to build a brand that stands out, builds trust, and fosters lasting customer loyalty. The final challenge: If your brand disappeared tomorrow, would anyone care? If the answer isn’t a resounding “yes,” it’s time to build a brand that truly sticks With nearly two decades in medical sales, Jason has mastered the art of standing out in a crowded market. Now, after almost 20 years of helping healthcare professionals navigate complex purchasing decisions, he has turned his expertise towards a new venture: Build.Your.Own.Brand. This innovative company is dedicated to empower individuals and groups to embrace their uniqueness and make a lasting impact by being creative, different and memorable.

This unique upbringing, surrounded by over 100 children and their diverse personalities, profoundly shaped my ability to connect with people. It taught me compassion, resilience, and a deep understanding of others' experiences. Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to inspiring and motivating others to embrace personal integrity and overcome adversity. Serving on various Boards of Directors and committees, volunteering, fundraising, and mentoring, I’ve sought to create positive change. I’ve also contributed to building five successful businesses, including my own, while staying grounded in my commitment to helping others. In my book, Stepping Stones: Creating Personal Integrity, I share five transformative strategies to guide readers on their journey toward growth and fulfillment. Through seminars and speaking engagements, I aim to empower women, youth, and anyone facing challenges to take ownership of their lives and pursue their God-given purpose. My approach combines personal life lessons, practical wisdom, and actionable tools. Together, we’ll explore how to accept realities, visualize futures, set goals, and create actionable plans. We’ll also address the power of forgiveness and faith as vital components of lasting transformation. I am honored to share my story and strategies at this summit, offering hope and a roadmap for those ready to step into the lives they deserve. I am the founder of a company dedicated to assisting people in overcoming trauma and challenges from childhood. As a speaker and author, I have written a book and developed a seminar/workshop series both part of a five-step program designed to encourage individuals to look at their lives honestly. This program helps them recognize the patterns of choices, decisions, and actions that shape their lives, with the goal of designing a life of personal integrity. My book, "Stepping Stones Creating Personal Integrity," tells the story of my nontraditional childhood, growing up in a group home with over 100 children after being abused, neglected, and abandoned twice. This experience has equipped me with the skills, talents, and abilities to relate to people on most levels. I believe that intentional living and a positive mindset are key to overcoming adversity and life's challenges. After a successful 30-year career in sales, public relations, and marketing, during which I helped build five businesses, I am now retiring from the business world. I am embracing the challenge of building my own company, fulfilling my God-given purpose in this third phase of my life. debbiechamberlain800@yahoo.com https://debbiegreerchamberlain.com/ https://www.facebook.com/debbiegreerchamberlain1023 https://www.instagram.com/debgreerchamberlain/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbie-greer-chamberlain-58372811/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

This unique upbringing, surrounded by over 100 children and their diverse personalities, profoundly shaped my ability to connect with people. It taught me compassion, resilience, and a deep understanding of others' experiences. Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to inspiring and motivating others to embrace personal integrity and overcome adversity. Serving on various Boards of Directors and committees, volunteering, fundraising, and mentoring, I’ve sought to create positive change. I’ve also contributed to building five successful businesses, including my own, while staying grounded in my commitment to helping others. In my book, Stepping Stones: Creating Personal Integrity, I share five transformative strategies to guide readers on their journey toward growth and fulfillment. Through seminars and speaking engagements, I aim to empower women, youth, and anyone facing challenges to take ownership of their lives and pursue their God-given purpose. My approach combines personal life lessons, practical wisdom, and actionable tools. Together, we’ll explore how to accept realities, visualize futures, set goals, and create actionable plans. We’ll also address the power of forgiveness and faith as vital components of lasting transformation. I am honored to share my story and strategies at this summit, offering hope and a roadmap for those ready to step into the lives they deserve. I am the founder of a company dedicated to assisting people in overcoming trauma and challenges from childhood. As a speaker and author, I have written a book and developed a seminar/workshop series both part of a five-step program designed to encourage individuals to look at their lives honestly. This program helps them recognize the patterns of choices, decisions, and actions that shape their lives, with the goal of designing a life of personal integrity. My book, "Stepping Stones Creating Personal Integrity," tells the story of my nontraditional childhood, growing up in a group home with over 100 children after being abused, neglected, and abandoned twice. This experience has equipped me with the skills, talents, and abilities to relate to people on most levels. I believe that intentional living and a positive mindset are key to overcoming adversity and life's challenges. After a successful 30-year career in sales, public relations, and marketing, during which I helped build five businesses, I am now retiring from the business world. I am embracing the challenge of building my own company, fulfilling my God-given purpose in this third phase of my life. debbiechamberlain800@yahoo.com https://debbiegreerchamberlain.com/ https://www.facebook.com/debbiegreerchamberlain1023 https://www.instagram.com/debgreerchamberlain/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbie-greer-chamberlain-58372811/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Too many people focus on building their careers, relationships, or wealth without first strengthening the foundation that holds it all together: their mindset, habits, and discipline. In this talk, I’ll break down why personal development isn’t just important—it’s non-negotiable for long-term success. I’ll share the exact strategies top performers use to build mental toughness, master their time, and create the habits that drive success. We’ll dive into the power of self-awareness, the importance of environment, and how small, consistent actions shape your future. By the end, you’ll walk away with a game plan to level up your mindset, optimize your daily routines, and develop the internal strength needed to conquer any goal. Because when you grow, everything around you grows. It all starts with you. Let’s build from the inside out and make success inevitable. Antonio is a former U.S. Marine, dedicated father, and driven entrepreneur based in the DMV area. With a background in discipline, leadership, and resilience from his time in the Marine Corps, he now applies that same mindset to his career in real estate and personal development. As a real estate agent, he helps clients navigate the market with confidence, while also mentoring and empowering others to level up in life and business. Passionate about growth and community, he founded Konquer United, a group designed to help entrepreneurs build a strong foundation for success through mindset, structure, and accountability.

With heartfelt authenticity, I emphasize three foundational pillars: mindset shift, planning with purpose, and the life-changing reality that financial freedom leads to emotional freedom. I begin by reflecting on the power of a mindset shift, recounting how changing my perspective from scarcity to abundance unlocked my potential. I remind the audience that the way we think about money shapes our ability to create wealth and build a fulfilling life. From there, I dive into the importance of planning with purpose. I highlight how purposeful financial strategies bridge the gap between dreams and reality, urging the listeners to align their goals with actionable steps.

My message is clear: Money matters because it gives us the tools to thrive, but happiness counts because it’s the ultimate measure of a life well-lived. With wisdom drawn from my own experiences, I inspire the audience to take control of their financial journeys, reminding them that with the right mindset, a purposeful plan, and the pursuit of freedom, anything is possible.

They lead with empathy, actively listen to others, and maintain awareness of personal strengths, weaknesses, and the needs of their team. Servant leaders focus on healing, helping others overcome challenges to achieve wholeness, and practicing stewardship by taking responsibility for resources and well-being. They possess foresight to anticipate outcomes and remain committed to personal and professional growth for those they serve, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging. Key attributes of servant leaders include integrity, humility, vision, accountability, and patience. They lead with honesty and moral principles, humbly serving without seeking recognition. Their clear vision inspires direction and purpose, while accountability ensures commitments are upheld. With patience, they allow growth and progress to unfold naturally. The focus of a servant leader is to empower individuals by providing support, encouragement, and resources. They build trust through authenticity, transparency, and consistent actions, fostering an inclusive environment where collaboration thrives. Servant leaders prioritize the greater good, ensuring decisions benefit the whole community rather than serving personal interests. Ultimately, servant leaders aim to leave a lasting legacy by positively impacting the lives of those they serve. Through their commitment to growth, trust-building, and community development, they create sustainable success and meaningful change. Deborah Smart lives in Newark, Delaware.

Resilience isn’t merely the ability to bounce back from challenges but the strength to navigate them with joy and purpose. This talk explores how cultivating joy can elevate leadership to new heights, transforming setbacks into opportunities for growth and innovation. Resilient leaders inspire trust, adaptability, and confidence, making them invaluable in any organization or team. But what truly sets exceptional leaders apart is their ability to infuse joy into their leadership journey. Joy is more than just a positive feeling—it’s a powerful force that fuels creativity, collaboration, and long-term success. Leaders who prioritize joy enhance team morale, foster meaningful relationships, and create a culture of resilience that drives results. In this talk Nikki will provides actionable strategies to develop joyful resilience, starting with mindset mastery. By reframing challenges as opportunities, as she learned to do after being in a wheelchair for 11 years, and embracing a solution-focused approach, leaders can maintain clarity and confidence under pressure. Authenticity is another cornerstone of joyful leadership—staying true to core values ensures leaders remain grounded, even amidst the demands of growth and global influence. Lastly, integrating joy into daily practices—such as celebrating small wins and prioritizing well-being—can transform leadership impact. For high-achieving leaders, resilience and joy are not luxuries but necessities for next-level success. By aligning their goals with purpose and fulfillment, leaders can not only achieve extraordinary results but also inspire others to do the same. This talk challenges leaders to reflect on their unique leadership journeys and commit to cultivating joy as a foundational element of resilience. The path to next-level success starts with a simple yet profound choice: to lead with joy, even in the face of challenges.

But diminishing returns soon have us working harder than ever. How do the most effective and efficient business grow in the best way, getting both bigger AND stronger? Buckle your seatbelts—this journey is not for wimps. Scaling has everything to do with two words: CLARITY and EMPOWERMENT. For me, learning that was costly. I architected and led the only company in the world to personally train leaders inside the borders of every country around the globe. It was sobering, exciting, terrifying and… worth it! I've actually asked people to put their life on the line to accomplish a great mission. We learned so much, but often the hard way. Come learn from my mistakes. After our time together you will have a plan to recruit and empower leaders who are truly 9's and 10's (and the occassional 14!). When done the right way, they will lead. You and I love, encourage, resource, and set strategic direction. It's BEAUTIFUL and it WORKS. “Dr. Rob” is known globally as a leader who cares. He was CEO of a company that had 700 hospitals, clinics, and schools across six continents. Then John Maxwell recruited Dr. Rob to lead the largest leadership development company in the world.

These personal, family, and social insecurities provided the first set of challenges for me to overcome. Little did I know that believing in the best possible outcome as a kid, even in the midst of turmoil, would become a powerful positive habit that would help me overcome adversity as an adult. From middle school, to high school, to college and beyond, I embarked on an inspiring journey of favorable outcomes fueled by the strong educational upbringing from my parents, in spite of our low income family status. Believing in positive outcomes empowered a high degree of risk-taking in my adulthood. I moved to Chicago straight out of grad school to work for Nielsen TV Ratings, a small niche field, away from family and local comforts. After being quickly promoted, I embraced that work for a few years. I then joined an up-and-coming rock band, toured regionally, resigned from my senior statistician job in my mid 20’s, and moved to Los Angeles to be a rock star. In this 5-year effort, I gained accolades as a musician, survived the grief of my father’s passing, and escaped from Hollywood intact. I landed in Dallas, TX to re-envision my career as a musician and statistician. Putting my faith to work at a local church, I was again inspired to believe in great things. As the church was running out of funds, I negotiated a daycare startup that kept the church doors open. That year I also bought my first home and met my wife! The thrill and passion of marriage was pure bliss, until it turned into a worst case scenario of survival distress I could’ve never imagined. The years of possibility thinking became a blueprint for staying inspired through the adversity. Zoltán Szentkirályi is a father, lifelong musician, a champion of Montessori childhood education, a professor of statistics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, and a Life Coach at Breakthrough New Life, LLC, a company he founded to empower faithful men with winning strategies against the devastation of false accusations in marriage. An unwavering advocate for men blindsided by relationship trauma, Zoltán is on a mission to challenge public narratives about domestic violence, and to shed light on the unfair tactics of trauma entitlement waged against men, and the debilitating effects it has on fathers and children. Zoltán helps men understand their wives’ childhood trauma, to honor the love for their wives, but establish firm boundaries against trauma entitlement abuse. Zoltán coaches men to be victorious in their trials, to preserve their God given destiny, restore their purpose, and to step confidently into a future of renewed hope and dignity. doctorzoltan@gmail.com https://doctorzoltan.com/ https://www.facebook.com/doctorzoltan/ https://www.instagram.com/doctorzoltan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoltanszentkiralyi/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Your credit score isn’t just a number; it’s a reflection of deeper patterns in your life, shaped by beliefs and habits often rooted in your unconscious mind. These invisible forces can either limit your financial growth or propel you toward wealth and freedom. We’ll uncover how unconscious programming impacts your financial behaviors, from overspending to avoiding credit altogether. More importantly, you’ll learn how to identify and shift these hidden patterns to create a new identity—one aligned with abundance and prosperity. This session goes beyond surface-level financial strategies. It’s about understanding how your inner world influences your outer financial results. By rewiring your unconscious beliefs about money and credit, you’ll unlock the ability to build wealth, repair your credit, and step into the role of an empowered, financially-savvy individual. Whether you’re struggling with bad credit, inconsistent cash flow, or simply want to expand your financial potential, this talk will provide practical tools and insights to start your transformation. It’s time to rewrite your financial story and align your mind, habits, and actions with the abundant life you deserve. Matt Dillingham is a former Marine. He served from 2006-2012. While in the Marine Corps, he graduated with a degree in Family Studies from the University of Maryland at College Park. He is also an award winning author, and a co-author of the book “Born To Risk”. Though he did not follow through with his major after college, that choice of major started his journey of self development which led him to the world of credit. Matt is a spiritual person and that everything is energy. And that to change one’s life is simply changing your energy within and feeling out the emotions that come up for you. mdillingham@a1solutionsgroup.com www.a1solutionsgroup.com https://www.facebook.com/mdillingham1 https://www.instagram.com/matt_dillingham/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mdillingham/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Often, the greatest obstacle is not external—it’s within ourselves. We get caught up in self-doubt, overthinking, and talking ourselves out of the very actions that could bring us fulfillment and joy. Mastering Your Mindset dives into the transformative power of cultivating a positive, resilient, and growth-focused approach to life. This talk explores how our beliefs, self-talk, and approach to setbacks don’t just shape our current experience but determine our long-term potential. In this session, I’ll share real-world examples from my own journey—how I faced challenges, navigated obstacles, and seized opportunities that aligned with my passions. I’ll also provide actionable strategies to help shift from a fixed mindset, where self-limiting beliefs take hold, to a growth mindset that welcomes adaptability, curiosity, and resilience. Whether you aim to achieve new heights in your career, nurture deeper relationships, or simply find a greater sense of ease and contentment within yourself, mastering your mindset is the foundation for all of it. Join me to unlock the power of a renewed perspective and take the first step toward designing a life with intention and purpose.

Often, the greatest obstacle is not external—it’s within ourselves. We get caught up in self-doubt, overthinking, and talking ourselves out of the very actions that could bring us fulfillment and joy. Mastering Your Mindset dives into the transformative power of cultivating a positive, resilient, and growth-focused approach to life. This talk explores how our beliefs, self-talk, and approach to setbacks don’t just shape our current experience but determine our long-term potential. In this session, I’ll share real-world examples from my own journey—how I faced challenges, navigated obstacles, and seized opportunities that aligned with my passions. I’ll also provide actionable strategies to help shift from a fixed mindset, where self-limiting beliefs take hold, to a growth mindset that welcomes adaptability, curiosity, and resilience. Whether you aim to achieve new heights in your career, nurture deeper relationships, or simply find a greater sense of ease and contentment within yourself, mastering your mindset is the foundation for all of it. Join me to unlock the power of a renewed perspective and take the first step toward designing a life with intention and purpose.

But is it truly the most effective approach? Join Lawrence Bill Korman as he introduces a revolutionary way of thinking in his talk, The 168 Game: Time Ownership vs. Time Management. In this engaging and thought-provoking session, Korman challenges the conventional wisdom of time management, which often revolves around squeezing productivity out of every minute. Instead, he advocates for a paradigm shift toward time ownership—a concept that empowers individuals to take full control of their 168 hours each week. Korman breaks down the limitations of traditional time management, which can lead to burnout, stress, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. He argues that merely managing time, like a resource to be budgeted, misses the mark. The real key to success and fulfillment lies in owning your time—consciously choosing how you invest your hours to align with your values, goals, and passions. Through relatable anecdotes, practical examples, and actionable insights, Korman will guide the audience on how to redefine their relationship with time. Attendees will learn how to prioritize what truly matters, eliminate time-wasting activities, and create a balanced, purpose-driven life. Whether you're a busy professional, a student, or someone seeking more meaning in your day-to-day routine, this talk will provide the tools and inspiration needed to reclaim your time. By the end of this session, you'll understand that the game isn't about managing time—it's about owning it. Don’t miss this opportunity to transform the way you think about time, take the first step toward living a life of true ownership, and change everything about your life forever! Bill Korman is the founder and CEO of Built for Life Financial Agency, a serial entrepreneur, and a dedicated leader. With 20 years of service in the US Navy as a retired Chief Petty Officer, Bill has successfully transitioned his leadership skills into the financial industry, becoming a respected financial strategist and time ownership master. As the author of The 168 Game: Time Ownership vs. Time Management, he challenges others to rethink how they manage their most valuable resource—time. A former senior GS employee, Bill's life and company are built on four pillars: faith, family, fitness, and finance. Bill is a devoted Christian, a loving husband, and a father of four. His innovative strategies and deep industry knowledge have earned him a reputation as a trusted advisor and an influential leader, committed to changing how the world views time and helping others take control of their financial and personal lives. billkorman@bflagency.com https://bflagency.com/ https://www.facebook.com/lawrence.korman?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.instagram.com/bflagency/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/builtforlife?utm_source=share&amp;utm_campaign=share_via&amp;utm_content=profile&amp;utm_medium=ios_app   ~ More About The Take Action Now Summit ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

We will begin by exploring the concept of pattern interruption, breaking free from unproductive habits and thought processes that keep you stuck. You'll learn how to create a proven system tailored to your goals, enabling you to make definitive decisions that propel you forward. The next phase focuses on "cleaning house"—eliminating everything that doesn't align with your true purpose and core values. This process will help you get centered, defining what truly matters and setting the stage for your personal pillars of success. These pillars will form the rock-solid foundation upon which you'll build your vision for the future. We'll dive into the process of envisioning your future self, the person you aspire to be, and outline the steps necessary to bring that vision to life. But it doesn’t stop there; we’ll ignite your drive to get into massive action, building unstoppable momentum. You'll learn how to live with intention, fueled by a burning desire for more, constantly pushing your limits to achieve greatness. By the end of this talk, you’ll have a clear blueprint to break the cycle of mediocrity, and instead, craft a life filled with purpose, passion, and an unwavering commitment to personal and professional excellence. Raymond Wright is a devoted father of four and a committed Kingdom entrepreneur. Celebrating 23 years of sobriety, Raymond's journey of personal transformation is a testament to his resilience and determination. He graduated from trade school in 2007, earning the prestigious Presidential Scholar Award, and obtained his Mechanical Master’s License in 2009. Raymond went on to establish Next Generation Services, a HVAC company. His passion for helping others led him into the e-commerce space, where he empowers individuals to achieve time and financial freedom. As a public speaker and transformational life coach, Raymond created "Unleash Your Inner Hero," a program dedicated to guiding others in their health, wellness, and personal development.

When you sell something, you're not just trying to close a deal. You're trying to understand what the customer needs and provide a solution that makes their life better. Think of selling as building a relationship. It's about listening to the customer's problems, answering their questions, and offering the best products or services to solve their issues. When you do this, the customer trusts you and sees you as someone who genuinely wants to help, not just someone trying to make a quick sale. Selling as serving means you care about the customer's happiness even after they buy from you. This includes helping them use the product, solving any problems they might have, and staying in touch to make sure they're satisfied. This approach makes customers happy and encourages them to come back and tell others about you. In simple terms, selling is not just about the transaction. It's about adding value to the customer's life. When you focus on serving, customers are more likely to trust you, buy from you again, and recommend you to others. This way, both you and the customer benefit, leading to a better business relationship and long-term success.

Charged with first-degree murder at 21 and facing a life sentence, Justin's early years in prison were marked by defiance and denial. However, through persistent self-reflection and an immersion into self-help literature, he began a profound process of personal transformation. Justin details the daily routines and disciplined mindset that were pivotal in reshaping his life. Each morning in the penitentiary, he engaged in a ritual of self-reflection and growth, using his past pains as fuel to forge a new identity. This discipline extended beyond mental and emotional resilience to include physical fitness, which he illustrates as a critical component of his recovery and success. His narrative is not just about overcoming adversity but also about the power of transformation through consistent, deliberate actions. He emphasizes the importance of personal development, discipline, and the pursuit of purpose over pleasure.

This motivational address is designed to inspire audiences to reflect on their own challenges and to encourage them to take control of their destinies. Justin's story is a vivid reminder that everyone has the potential to redefine their life, no matter their current circumstances. On September 29th, 2016, Justin Danforth walked out of the North Carolina Department of Corrections a changed man, after serving 14 years and 4 months. His time behind bars wasn't wasted; it was a period of profound personal transformation. Justin dedicated himself to becoming a beacon of hope and change, taking on roles as a leader, an organizer, and an inspiring example for others facing their own dark times. Today, Justin is not only a successful entrepreneur but also a passionate motivator and published author. His experiences have equipped him with invaluable insights into the power of resilience and the importance of a purpose-driven life. Through his speeches, which resonate across the nation, and his writings, he addresses the crucial battles many face with vices, limiting beliefs, and self-awareness. Justin's mission extends beyond mere words; he actively engages with communities and individuals alike, imparting lessons learned from a life once dictated by circumstances to one that is now defined by choice and determination. His core message emphasizes the supremacy of purpose over pleasure, urging others to embrace their true potential and turn adversities into advantages. A vocal advocate for personal development, Justin's life is a testament to the transformative power of self-reflection and the human spirit's capacity to overcome.

They have already created a Network of Contacts that can be leveraged to a High net worth. They have established a High Leadership LID, they have learned from the master, John Maxwell. For those new to Entrepreneurship or struggling with Entrepreneurship, Starting and Scaling your Business to 5 Figure, then Multiple 6 Figures and Beyond requires Intention Setting, technology systems and detailed processes working together in synchronicity.

It is a sad occurrence to watch what some people spend years of their lives building then gradually crumble before their eyes. For others, they would have problems achieving the growth they want to see in their company. This is what we call stunted growth. Think of it like a tiny leak in a boat if you will. The leak is so tiny that you do not pay attention at first but suddenly you are in the middle of the river with a lot of water in your boat. You get alarmed and start to bail out water. If you are lucky, you could scoop water out faster than the leak lets in. If you notice the leak too late, you might sink with your boat, like many others have done over the years. Sadly, most of these failures happen for the same reason - a disregard for the importance of relationship management. Someone once told me business is a game of relationships. It is about who you know, how you treat your clients, whose office you can walk into unchecked, how you relate with your employees, and how you manage all the relationships within and outside your company. People, in essence, are money. There are other factors, of course, but relationship management is overlooked a lot. We will review several of them meant to prevent you from making the same mistakes that a lot of business owners make.Dr Brian ‘BK’ Kent is a global leader and senior consultant focusing on International and Domestic Operations.

Often we feel the shackles that prevent our success are to much to escape. Our dreams tend to fall with our Hope. Danny Zzzz has proven that the secret to success is in the key to the subconscious mind! So many search for that Key - Danny has stepped past that hurdle by just picking the lock. He teaches you - how to believe in yourself. The secret is - you have always had the key - or at least the means to access . Let's find it! What does it take to transform someone headed for the streets at age 14, into a world-class entertainer and inspirational speaking coach? Someone who’s dazzled audiences both on stages and across national television in Canada, the United States, Australia, Italy and most recently, Germany? If you’ve had the good fortune to witness Daniel Paulin – a.k.a. hypnotist/illusionist/mentalist/escape artist and Motivational Speaker “Danny Zzzz” – in action, you’d know all it takes is a little magic! The truth is, Daniel Paulin’s evolution into a successful master magician, illusionist and in-demand purveyor of mind-blowing comedy hypnosis shows has less to do with magic and more to do with hard work, determination and his unyielding will to overcome fear at every turn. Rising from the adversity of a broken home that left him fending for himself as a young teen, Daniel began assembling the foundational building blocks of his career, first as a labourer, then as a musician, and eventually as a renowned tattoo artist and owner of a successful group of tattoo shops. Despite his early success in business, Daniel had dreams of success on a bigger stage, and he fearlessly jumped into a broadcast career as “Danimal,” the on-air host and producer with legendary Southern Ontario rock station 97.7 HTZ-FM. An obsession with magic and a fascination with the power of the subconscious mind inspired Daniel’s current career choice. As renowned illusionist and hypnotist Danny Zzzz, the performer has competed on Chris Angel’s “Phenomena” series, earned a deal on Dragon’s Den, wowed audiences from Disney World to Las Vegas and completed a dizzying, death-defying escape on Italy’s nationally televised “Tu Si Que Vales” talent show. dan@dannyzzzz.com www.dannyzzzz.com https://www.facebook.com/dannyzzzz/ https://instagram.com/dannyzzzz1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-paulin-8b70572/ ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

But I will not only discuss the importance of dreaming…but the importance of dreaming with intention! Three parts of the talk: Part 1. I will provide factual evidence on why entrepreneurs matter! Why is it important for small businesses to be successful in our local communities? Part 2. I will discuss why entrepreneurs are all in show business. Many focus on the Show but not the Business. Part 3. I will provide an easy-to-implement three-step model for successfully managing both the Show and the Business as entrepreneurs. Cedric Singleton started his professional career as an officer in the US Army, followed by a corporate career that spanned three decades. Upon leaving the military, he joined Abbott Laboratories, where he spent twenty-seven years in multiple sales and marketing roles, including: - Sales Executive - Advertising Product Manager - Regional Sales Director - Global Director of Sales Operations Throughout his tenure, Cedric and his teams consistently achieved recognition for high performance and commercial excellence. From his success with Abbott, Cedric was recruited by Carrier Global to build and lead a new commercial Revenue Operations department as its Global Director. In that capacity, he led a team that generated double-digit revenue growth, and within three years, their annual revenue increased from $450 million to $1.2 billion. Recently retired from a thirty-year corporate career, Cedric founded Peak Performance Leadership Institute, a consulting firm that helps small businesses reach their optimal potential. He is also a managing partner with J Galt Finance Suite. At J Galt, where he is on a crusade to ensure that small businesses have the same financial success as large corporations like Abbott and Carrier. Cedric attained his BA in Political Science from Howard University and his MBA from the University of Memphis. He holds certifications as a Trainer, Teacher, Coach, and Speaker with The John Maxwell Team. In his personal time, Cedric is active with the Southern Maryland chapter of his fraternity (Alpha Phi Alpha), where he serves as the Chair of the Education Committee. csingleton@jgalt.io https://jgalt.io/csingleton https://www.facebook.com/Cedricsingleton1906/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedricsingleton/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

Do you find yourself in a cycle of under-charging and over-delivering for your services? Do you feel awkward during conversations about money – like, when being asked by potential clients about your pricing? Don't worry, you're not alone. Let’s face it – we all have a “money story” based on messages and experiences we received very early in our lives about our ability to receive, earn, save, and spend money. Unfortunately, many of those messages were disempowering and limiting. Why is this important? Because how we “do money” is how we do EVERYTHING! If you are ready to crack your “money code” for a transformational breakthrough in your relationship with money, 2024 can look dramatically different from last year when you decide to play at the highest level when it comes to creating wealth in your life and business! Embrace a relationship with money that serves you, supports your dreams, and helps you create a future filled with prosperity! This session helps you uncover the power of your money mindset, rewrite your rules to have an abundant relationship with money, and start your journey towards intentional wealth creation. Now is YOUR time to shine! Spiritually minded coaches and thought leaders hire Carmen Croonquist to elevate them to Seven Figures because they're ready to break free from under-earning, overworking, self-sabotaging, drowning in overwhelm, and the belief that they can’t charge their worth. She quickly helps them break through money blocks to create a business that lights up their soul, enables them to operate in their zone of genius, brings in consistent cashflow, and welcomes more freedom and bliss into their entrepreneurial journey. Bottom line, adding One Million USD in sales to their business becomes their new reality within two years or less, guaranteed. Carmen’s mantra: “When you have clarity about your intentions, you can live your truth and own your worth at the highest levels” encapsulates her mission. She is dedicated to helping visionary coaches and thought leaders replace chaos and confusion with clarity, confidence, and cash so they can make a monumental impact in the world. With a rich background spanning over three decades of executive coaching, leadership, and international speaking, Carmen has served as President of Intentionality LLC since 2003. Her career has also encompassed serving as an Executive Coach at PWC and Facebook, as a faculty member and Program Director at Adler Graduate School and the University of Minnesota, and as the Director of Career Services at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Carmen’s extensive credentials include a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, and coaching certifications in Money Mindset Business Coaching, Executive Coaching, Career/Life Transition Coaching, Personal Brand Coaching, Neuroscience Coaching, and ThetaHealing. carmen@intentionalityconsulting.com https://intentionalityconsulting.com/ https://www.facebook.com/cjcroonquist https://www.instagram.com/cjcroonquist/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmencroonquist/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

This compelling talk, "Black Belt Tactics in Business," will explore the powerful parallels between the disciplined world of martial arts and the competitive arena of business, offering actionable insights and strategies to navigate challenges and achieve objectives with precision and grace. At the heart of our discussion will be the exploration of key martial arts principles — Strategy, Agility, Resilience, and Zen Mind — and their application in business scenarios. Strategy, akin to the meticulous planning of a martial artist, involves anticipating moves, understanding the competition, and positioning oneself for success. We will delve into how strategic thinking, rooted in the clarity and foresight of a black belt practitioner, can lead to innovative solutions and a proactive approach in business. Join us for this dynamic session to unlock the black belt tactics that can transform your approach to business, fostering a culture of excellence, adaptability, and unwavering determination.

These achievements showcase his commitment to personal growth and continuous learning. Beyond martial arts, Mr. Cox is a best-selling author and an influential motivational speaker. He is also the host of the popular Beyond the Mat Podcast.

This is a deep dive, a transformative journey that can be truly rewarding when we are fully invested in commitment, resiliency, and self-belief. Every person has the potential to become greatness with their own unique story, talents, and passion. We can strive to go further with people who encourage us to take the deep dive, but we must acknowledge the gifted individuality we have to start and remain on this path. We were not born to stay comfortable. We were born to make an impact with our legacy. The challenges that we face along the way are meant to build our strength and resistance to settling for complacency. The greater the purpose we have to live, the greater the dive we must make. Don’t let the fear of failure be stronger than your capacity to become greatness. The potential is in your commitment to the journey for a lifetime.

Every person has the potential to become greatness with their own unique story, talents, and passion. We can strive to go further with people who encourage us to take the deep dive, but we must acknowledge the gifted individuality we have to start and remain on this path. We were not born to stay comfortable. We were born to make an impact with our legacy. The challenges that we face along the way are meant to build our strength and resistance to settling for complacency. The greater the purpose we have to live, the greater the dive we must make. Don’t let the fear of failure be stronger than your capacity to become greatness. The potential is in your commitment to the journey for a lifetime.

Many of us talk a big game but never translate that into action or results. This inspiring and interactive presentation will help individuals uncover what has been limiting their lives. Rick teaches the action steps needed for creating purpose for yourself and others to live a fulfilled life, better humanity, and create a better world for all of us. Rick Ornelas is an Ultimate Success Coach™, bestselling author, and founder of I Spark Change. Rick wasn't always interested in helping others globally, despite being pushed repeatedly in that direction by a near-death experience, family tragedies, and deaths. It wasn't until the ever-worsening times of 2020 when he was anxious, isolated, and desperate that he finally got the wake-up call. His awakening came in the form of divine inspiration and an awe-inspiring spiritual connection when it was least expected. He went from fearful and hopeless to writing a best-selling book, 12 Hours of Heaven; Lessons for a Better World, in under three months while envisioning and creating an incredible future. Rick is also extremely passionate about coaching individuals and teams. For the past 25 years, he's grown organizations, including start-ups and Fortune 100's on various levels. He's helped both small businesses and multi-million-dollar enterprises flourish and achieve massive success in record-setting time. Rick has grown two past successful businesses to multiple eight figures in under two years and is a nationally recognized business strategist. His most recent business venture is founding Revive Biohacking in 2023 where they optimize health naturally through science and technology. He has been featured as an expert in multiple media outlets, including national/international television and radio. He’s a writer for the Power of Positivity, guest contributor for various websites, and has inspired listeners across the globe as a guest on over 100 podcasts! rick@sparkchange.com https://www.rickornelas.com/ https://www.facebook.com/rick.ornelas/ https://www.instagram.com/rickornelas/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickornelas/   ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.

I want to convey a message of not just maintaining a baseline level of health but actively pursuing a state of flourishing and vitality. I will touch on the 4 Stages of Competence as well. Many people when they think of “health and wellness” think of food, exercise and maybe some quiet time. Health in and of itself is our whole Self, our holistic Self. Although eating to nourish the body is key and so is exercising, there are other health and wellness factors that come into play that I will share. One of which is letting go of something that doesn’t serve you. To ACCELERATE is to take a proactive and efficient approach to health and wellness, emphasizing the adoption of strategies and practices that can expedite positive outcomes. I will share what has worked for me that caused the acceleration in my journey to completing my first triathlon. I will intertwine four talking points: not giving up, letting go of what doesn’t serve you, getting centered and making a firm decision for what it is you would love for your life. I will intersperse personal stories to grab the attention and emotion of the audience, as it relates to these talking points. In the fierce arena of life, Ivy Perez emerges as a force to be reckoned with – a mom, marathoner, and triathlete, relentlessly pursuing the pinnacle of human potential, she is fueled by an unyielding passion for health, wellness, and overall well-being.

I want to convey a message of not just maintaining a baseline level of health but actively pursuing a state of flourishing and vitality. I will touch on the 4 Stages of Competence as well. Many people when they think of “health and wellness” think of food, exercise and maybe some quiet time. Health in and of itself is our whole Self, our holistic Self. Although eating to nourish the body is key and so is exercising, there are other health and wellness factors that come into play that I will share. One of which is letting go of something that doesn’t serve you. To ACCELERATE is to take a proactive and efficient approach to health and wellness, emphasizing the adoption of strategies and practices that can expedite positive outcomes. I will share what has worked for me that caused the acceleration in my journey to completing my first triathlon. I will intertwine four talking points: not giving up, letting go of what doesn’t serve you, getting centered and making a firm decision for what it is you would love for your life. I will intersperse personal stories to grab the attention and emotion of the audience, as it relates to these talking points. In the fierce arena of life, Ivy Perez emerges as a force to be reckoned with – a mom, marathoner, and triathlete, relentlessly pursuing the pinnacle of human potential, she is fueled by an unyielding passion for health, wellness, and overall well-being.

What if we can experience more days where we simply tap into flow, end work early, and enjoy guilt-free time off knowing full-well that you're on track to surpassing your ambitious goals in record speed? If this sounds like a pipe dream, I'm going to dive deep on how this can be turned into your daily norm, using a rather unconventional approach to productivity &amp; leverage. Use it at your own discretion because it will turn you into a highly effective individual, just like it already did for hundreds of entrepreneurs across 14 different countries. That said, if I do see you in my session, please keep this in mind - We're not here to 'manage time' and trade more effort for money. We're here to knock out yearly goals on a quarterly basis, while experiencing unusual levels of freedom &amp; autonomy.   Having had his fair share of 100 hour work weeks and crippling burnouts, Michael discovered a unique approach to productivity that allowed him to achieve more by working less. Having transitioned away from being a burnt out veterinary surgeon to now running a highly profitable lifestyle business, Michael now helps entrepreneurs to masterfully invest their time to surpass their ambitious business goals, while experiencing the freedom &amp; autonomy they deserve. With success stories across 14 different countries and countless industries.   michael@eliteproductivity.io https://www.eliteproductivity.io/ https://www.facebook.com/michael.yeunghk/ https://www.instagram.com/realmichaelyeung/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelyeunghk/     ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.
