an online community that provides valuable teaching tools aimed at transforming women's lives.

For the past 3 years of her 10 year career- Shanda has created opportunities for women and female entrepreneurs both individually through 1/1 coaching and by creating international ‘Sisterhood’ Networks.

With a passion for women’s interests and online business, she is a highly recognized thought leader of our time. Shanda is often found in deep conversations around the evolution of life and economics.  Although Shanda speaks on business platforms she understands that our most important purpose in life is to discover Who We Truly Are, and What Role We Play.

Her background includes successfully creating new business ventures for emerging and established companies, including playing a significant part in the creation of multiple millions dollar international business for her last company.  Shanda says her biggest accomplishment in life has not been in the pursuit of wealth but has been in becoming an authentic person.

As a visionary, you are called to serve during these times of unprecedented changes. While your soul awakens to a greater purpose, your ego keeps you in the old familiar fears, convincing you to stay safe and "secure".  As a result, you feel empty or like you are going through the motions and you ache for a greater expression of yourself. Not only that, you are not having the impact you want and most likely, not actually
making good money doing what you love.

In this illuminating interview, Kendra will reveal what you can do to turn this around! (So you stop struggling & start serving on a much grander scale)

Highlights include:

• Why creating freedom making money being you IS the adventure of your lifetime (and the attitude you need to embrace to stop feeling like you're fighting up stream)
• How to turn your doubts about your "crazy idealism" into a strong message that makes ripples AND money
• What to do to get over your fear of taking a leap into a prosperous livlihood doing what you love
• 3 Keys to start making more money immediately (without selling your soul or giving up your authenticity)

BIO

She provides proven methods and time-tested systems that empower her clients to translate their soul's calling into a thriving business that makes a real difference in the world.
 
Kendra is an internationally acclaimed coach, spiritual guide, sought-after leader, author and humanitarian. She's on the cutting edge of spiritual thought and conscious business practice. Labels aside, she considers herself a human being simply doing her best to walk a path of authenticity and integrity while making a difference.

The old ways of business are on their last legs.  Today’s most successful entrepreneurs are those whose purpose is so clearly, authentically and evocatively expressed that what they offer intersects with - and serves - a rapidly rising set of new client/customer needs in ways that are flat out revolutionary.

Not to mention culture changing.

A whole new kind business leader is on the rise.If you’re called to join their ranks - and take advantage of a gargantuan (& largely unrecognized) but time-limited window of New Business opportunity - this presentation from Lissa Boles, The Soul Mapper, is tailor-made for you.

In this talk, you’ll learn:

• The two most common purpose ‘postures’ entrepreneurs tend to assume today, and how each one profoundly interferes with authenticity, growth and financial sustainability
• The one thing rarely considered or included in the ‘serving’ business equation (its absence really messes with minds, hearts & bottom lines!)
• THE Foundation (and the 3 cornerstones of it) that must be clearly established before a purpose-driven business can be reliably built, much less find its ‘attraction-factor’
• Once ‘THE  Foundation’s’ in place, the two critical things most purpose-driven entrepreneurs want little to nothing to do with, something that bites them in the biz-backside every time…
• The duration of the once-in-a-lifetime ‘opportunity window’ now open, and what you can do to make it work for you

Since ancient times, medicine wheels have been used by indigenous cultures for sacred ceremonial purpose and invocation. A medicine wheel "journey" has always been, and continues to be,  a powerful tool for making major life decisions.

This presentation will focus on discovering and manifesting our unique expressions of life purpose. One begins with a commitment to discovery in the East, then moves towards opening to great possibilities in the South, letting go of what is no longer necessary in the West, and coming to a place of clarity and intention in the North.

During the entire process, the “medicine wheel walker” remains open to signs from Great Spirit, and trusts deeply in Pachamana (Mother Earth) to receive all that is needed for completing the sacred journey.

Sharon believes that what often stops us from following our passion is either having such a huge vision of what we think we're here to do, so we are too daunted to take any action, or we are totally clueless what our real mission is - as the cliché goes, we just know there has to be more to life than this. So Sharon shares her guidance of surrendering & following the breadcrumbs to our dreams, as opposed to trying to go from zero to hero in one mighty leap, & falling at the first hurdle.

Learn how a U.S. Airborne Ranger soldier created a martial art to reach his highest potential and has been teaching leaders the process of self-mastery for 25 years.

'Seibukan Jujutsu', created by Julio Toribio, is based upon 3 essential pillars of leadership, including Awareness, Assessment and Action. This talk will focus on how you can empower your leadership by going from the problem to the solution, from blaming to taking responsibility and from complaining to expressing gratitude.

Much like other practicioners of ancient Asian arts, Toribio talks of passing through gates of wisdom. He references seven, namely:

1. Fire: initiative, speed, determination
   
2. Water: acceptance, flow, adaptability
3. Earth:  patience, inner strength, commitment
4. Wind: flexibility,  spirit, sensitivity
5. Void: presence (the now), personal power, emptiness
6. Consciousness:  intuition, observation, wisdom
7. Balance:  intention, creativity, healing
   

When you get through the last gate, you will be able to see the invisible, feel the intangible and create the impossible. All you have to do is receive the knowledge, be determined and practice.
