Move Forward with Purpose Blueprint!
Candace Stuart-Findlay The Transformational Catalyst

Seeking to move forward with clearer purpose? Searching for the tools and techniques to do so that guarantees your success?

The information provided in this presentation provides a success blueprint that is loaded with the tools and techniques gathered from Candace's research into the combined realm of physiology, Quantum Mechanics and Biophysics. 

Per the Biophysicist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, without training to function differently, we are only consciously aware of about 5% of what we are experiencing, thinking, and feeling. This means that 95% of what we think and feel is experienced unconsciously…there is a better way!

Move Forward with Purpose Blueprint! introduces you to the basic principles needed to consciously create your own abundant life blueprint.  

All this is shared in an engaging manner that empowers you to consciously create your fulfilling move forward path!

Unlock Massive Wealth By Cracking Your Money Code
Carmen Croonquist President

Do you have a love-hate relationship with money? 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!

Doing Business from the Inside Out
Peta-Gay Roberts Alignment and Transformation Specialist

Until your spirit, soul and body are aligned with each other AND aligned with The Creator you cannot prosper in every area of life and business. Something will always go awry. Just like your vehicle's owners manual gives you instructions for how to care for and maintain all parts of your vehicle so that it runs smoothly and has a long life, so The Creator has provided instructions for the best way to life and longevity for your spirit, soul and body. When you're internally misaligned things begin to spiral downward. When you are aligned vertically on the inside with your Creator and with your 3 part “beingness”, Divine Order begins to activate and internal transformation begins. Like “MaJiK” your external world begins to align and match your new internal configuration. Then, your personal life, business, relationships, health, finances etc begin to shift and change to look more like the Original Template, the Original Blueprint for your life. “The Designer's Dance” designed and “choreographed” to fit your Divine Purpose and sacred calling. The result? FULFILLMENT! “When you know WHOSE you are, you will know WHO YOU are and you will go far”.

The One Skill that has the Power to Change Everything

Wanna know about the one skill we are never taught, but has the ability to change everything? I've got you. 

You can have the highest IQ in the room—and still be invisible in the moments that matter most. The 5 Pillars of Executive Presence
Victor Bullara Master Coach

Seventy-eight percent of business leaders state that a low level of executive presence paralyzes career advancement.

Even more so than IQ and EQ.  EP impacts all of your interactions 

Low EP leads to missed promotions, diminished credibility, low productivity, and chronic stress.

An actual case study of a senior executive in a billion-dollar consulting firm with 19 years of high performance and multiple promotions. She was told she did not get promoted to Partner because she lacked Executive Presence. When I asked her what that meant, she said “I don’t know, they did not tell me anything more.”  With six months of assessments, observation, interviews with stakeholders and coaching, she ….

  • Increased her communication skills from a 5 to an 8
  • Increase her Posture/Body Language skills from a 5 to an 8
  • Increased her Persona/Gravitas skills from a 7 to a 9
  • Increased her skills in establishing a High Level of Trust from an 8 to a 9

AND she got promoted to Partner.

Working with more than 100 clients, none of them have ever received feedback on their Executive Presence. Over the last ten years. I have perfected a unique, proprietary EP assessment – usually only available to my Platinum level clients

THE FRAMEWORK: THE 5 PILLARS OF EP™ this signature model helps leaders:

  • Increase visibility and influence
  • Lead with confidence and empathy
  • Strengthen credibility and presence in any situation

I am offering this assessment to help you gain insight into how you’re showing up—and what might be holding you back. It only takes 3 minutes and you get your results immediately. 

“Your Executive Presence isn’t just your reputation—it’s your legacy. Step up, stand out, and let the room remember you long after you've left it.” Let’s work together to elevate your EP
