🌸As we prepare for the exciting return of Imperfect in July, I'm thrilled to share a special solo episode for June. In this episode, I reflect on the theme of "flourish" and how setting visionary, ambitious goals has fueled my best work. Recently, I experienced a deeply meaningful moment when I returned to my high school to teach a leadership class to grade 12 students. This full-circle moment allowed me to share valuable lessons on attentive listening, the essence of leadership, and the power of inspiring and serving others. The enthusiasm and engagement of these young leaders reaffirmed my passion for heart-centered leadership and the importance of compassion in guiding future generations.

📚As we wrap up this episode, I'm excited to announce the upcoming Leadership Symposium in October, designed to provide elite leaders with a transformative experience. Additionally, my Heart-Centered Leadership Playbook continues to make a significant impact, remaining in Amazon's top 10 for healthcare administration and receiving five awards to date, remember you can get your copy now! Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to sharing more insights and exciting updates in the lead-up to Season Five of Imperfect.

In 2008, the shelter that had just hired Kristine Scott almost ceased to exist after their staff were the first responders to a life-threatening gunshot incident. Fortunately, the shelter guest survived the shooting. However her team’s motivation for their jobs died, and 75% of her shelter employees quit within 2 weeks.

This began Kristine’s journey to rebuild her team for resilience. By the time she left her executive director post ten years later, her team had lower than average turnover. She geared operations and training specifically to reduce burnout and improve conflict response in teams. As word spread of Kristine’s conflict resolution training, other workplaces hired her. Her content is best described as no-nonsense non-violence.

She fosters a philosophy of care that increases loyalty for staff and customers alike. At this point, Kristine has trained over 36,000 people. She is quoted in USA Today and the New York Times and the go-to expert for the Seattle Space Needle.

Warren Buffet once said that all it takes is five minutes to ruin a reputation. For Des Hague, it only took forty-two seconds.

In 2014, Hague’s life was a bona fide rags-to-riches success story. After nearly twenty years of steadily climbing the corporate ladder, he had risen from living in the back of a fish-and-chips shop to becoming the CEO of one of the top hospitality providers in the world.

But when a video surfaced on Twitter of him kicking a dog in an elevator, everything changed. A mob formed on social media that spread like wildfire. Despite expressing deep regret for his actions, he was forced to resign from his job, and his family was threatened.

What the mob didn’t know was that the person depicted in the short video clip was the exact opposite of who Hague really was—a man who had survived a childhood of physical and sexual abuse, spent decades building a loving family and a high-flying career, and raised millions to fight child homelessness. Though ultimately there was little harm to the dog, his life was nearly destroyed in a few short days by thousands of people he had never met.

In Fifteen Minutes of Shame, Hague tells the inspiring story of how he overcame the odds to find improbable success and not only reveals the person behind the forty-two-second clip but makes a compelling argument against the dangers of embracing cancel culture.

Eric D. Stone’s passion for business led him to an influential twenty-six-year career at the iconic rental car company Enterprise Holdings, where he quickly became one of the most decorated Regional Vice Presidents in the company’s history.

David Carter is a serial entrepreneur otherwise known as ‘the World's Leading CEO Mentor’, with 40+ years' track record in creating innovative businesses, and mentoring leaders and influencers around the globe. Entelechy Academy is the entelechy of David’s career and his legacy project, where he gathered brilliant minds in education, coaching, and professional organizations to support millions in becoming the best version of themselves.

During his life, David has built a unique and precious asset. Not only has he understood the fundamental importance of character qualities as the foundation of personal growth and development. He has codified those qualities and developed a framework that links those qualities to the soft and technical skills that people need to succeed.

David spent the next 14 years building and leading, as Founder, CEO, and Chairman, Merryck & Co., which eventually became the world’s leading CEO Business Mentoring Company. In 2010, he exited — and launched himself as THE MENTOR — using the techniques in his first book BREAKTHROUGH.

David’s belief in others is matched only by his restless frustration that so little is done to unlock the potential that we all have. The Entelechy Academy practically addresses this challenge, for the benefit of individuals and society alike.

There is so many different perspectives on leadership.

In terms of heart-centered leadership, I honour my connection with everyone.

Thanks for reading How to Master The Art of Heart 💜 ! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

When I see a leader struggling, I know that there is inner work to be considered:

📌Our life and leadership journey directly contributes to how we treat people and how we choose to lead people.

📌Self-acceptance is foundational for any one of us to lead.

📌Holding our head up high.

📌No allowance for ego to show up in our behaviour.

📌Strength to stand on both feet.

📌Possibility to showcase imperfection.

A business cannot be lead or scaled if the leader has not completed the inner work to be fully present or show up as their best self.

What’s in your playbook?

Rod Anderson is a Chief Operations Officer in the giftware and apparel space. On the surface it may not seem like 30 years of experience in Automotive parts manufacturing, power transformers, and electric heat appliances would make someone a good fit for the world of seasonal gifts and female fashion but below the surface is a journey that has made Giftcraft Ltd. the perfect place for Mr. Anderson to be the right COO at the right time.

The journey started in 1991 at a small GTA-based Tier 1 automotive components manufacturer. While there, his Mechanical Engineering background allowed him to transition into various roles during a period when the company’s revenue grew organically by over 50x under private ownership. Growing a business rapidly and organically meant wearing many hats, developing many talented people, and being willing to take on any assignment while learning and doing at the same time. After serving in multiple roles, transforming parts of the business, and playing a key role in the sale of the business twice to private equity investors, it was time to take 18 years of experiences and find out if they were transferrable.

In 2009 Canduct Industries was a small niche power transformer business started in the early 90s by an entrepreneur on the strength of a single product. The owner had grown the business organically based on his technical expertise but no longer had the ability to continue growing his business. Rod was recruited by the owner to build and execute a growth strategy that would allow the owner to be hands-off except for technical input. Over the next 10 years, the business grew by 4x, acquired 3 other businesses in the sector, and reorganized into 2 product-focused divisions.

Rod joined Glen Dimplex Americas in 2019 where sales growth was already underway but the organization was struggling to execute at the Operations level. Rod spent 3 years with Glen Dimplex re-organizing the supply chain, building a more efficient distribution network, assuming control of the Product Engineering process, and expanding domestic manufacturing capacity. Although there was more to do, Rod Anderson the builder realized that the ideal place for his skills was in small to medium-sized enterprises struggling to break through the growth ceiling.

In 2022 Rod was recruited by Giftcraft Inc., a wholesale consumer products business that had recently been sold by the founding family to private equity investors. The newly added CEO was looking for a COO with a very specific skill set. One with experience in rapid growth environments, M&A experience on both sides of the table, someone that could design and implement business operating systems, develop people, and drive efficiencies. One year in, the journey is already an exciting one and a very eye-opening experience.

From her first science job working in a high energy physics lab to learning how to work with energy in Aikido and Zen training, to her doctoral research in biophysics, Ginny Whitelaw has had a passion for bringing energy, mind, and body together.

When she was a senior leader at NASA in charge of integrating the Space Station Program, she took several leadership courses, but was dissatisfied that their “head-only” approach ignored the body where enduring change occurs.

It became clear that integrating science and the physical, energetic practices from the dojo into leadership development was her work to do. For more than 25 years, she has taught and coached whole leaders in top companies all over the world.

But it wasn’t until she founded the Institute for Zen Leadership in 2012 that she saw how much further she could take a self-selected group of leaders over the course of even a long weekend.

How fulfilling to lift the wings of people already committed to making a positive difference! She’d found her life’s work.

Ginny Jiko Whitelaw Roshi is a Zen priest, teacher, and writer. She is the author of four books, including The Zen Leader and award-winning, Resonate: Zen and the Way of Making a Difference.

Together with her psychologist husband, Mark Kiefaber, she developed the FEBI®, which measures four energy patterns in the nervous system that link mind, body, and behaviors, giving a view into the whole person that called her into this field from the start.

She loves the stillness of meditation, the vibrancy of dance, and the feeling of being on the water and digging in the dirt.

Dr. Mary Jo Burchard is a change leadership coach and consultant currently living in Virgian Beach, VA. MJ’s journey started in higher ed, teaching organizational leadership.

During that time, she and her husband adopted a little boy from Ukraine, whose childhood involved more surgeries than grades. This experience shaped her understanding of what impact belonging has on being able to tell the truth about who we are, what we need, and the power of caring deeply enough about people to accept them fully as they are.

Her doctoral work involved the impact of high-octane altruistic leaders who are impacted by unprocessed trauma. She noticed that these kinds of people tend to pour everything into their role and let the rest of their personhood become dormant.

She likes to tell the leaders she coaches to “AirDrop her into the messy” and let’s work on being humane as possible while we walk through non-negotiable tough things.

Change can be scary. Or it can be an opportunity. The enlightened leader capitalizes on opportunities in a way that serves humanity. Susan Drumm is a CEO and Leadership Coach whose mission is to help visionary leaders find their path to Enlightened Leadership – their unique leadership growth path and the blind spots that could get in the way.

Sometimes, that means making a radical, necessary change that others may view as “crazy.”

For Susan, this moment of radical change happened at age 30, when she decided to take a hiatus from her corporate career to get a Master’s degree in acting from the London School of Music and Dramatic Arts.

It turned out to be one of the best career moves she ever made because it gave her the tools to help leaders make a meaningful difference in the world, using music of course!

Later she wrote the bestseller, The Leader’s Playlist: Unleash the Power of Music and Neuroscience to Transform Your Leadership and Your Life, in which she unveils a groundbreaking process that outlines how our childhood wounds affect leadership and how music can heal those wounds.

In this solo episode, host Deb Crowe discusses the importance of holding space for others. November has been hard for many people. It’s more important than ever that we prioritize our physical and mental well-being.

Sometimes you just need to vent out your feelings without fear of negative consequences.

Sometimes you just need to not respond, just listen and make space for the other person to express themselves.

Sometimes you just need to prioritize yourself and enforce your boundaries.

Boundaries can make your inner circle smaller, and that is not an anti-social or selfish thing.

Dr. Toby Travis is the founder of TrustED, a framework for business, organization, and school improvement focused on developing trusted leaders.

In addition, he is an Executive Consultant with the Global School Consulting Group, an Adjunct Professor for the International Graduate Program of Educators for the State University of New York College at Buffalo, and an experienced teacher and school administrator, currently serving as the Superintendent of the Village Christian Academy in Fayetteville, NC.

Toby has a story of working in a highly dysfunctional and toxic environment, and through the implementation of intentional action steps, the organization experienced its most thriving and peak years of mission-fulfillment while also experiencing a sense of community well-being.

According to decades of research, trusted leadership is the number one indicator of successful businesses, organizations, and schools. Yet, very few businesses, organizations, or schools intentionally invest in developing trust in their leaders as a means to drive mission fulfillment.

Dr. Travis has developed resources for assessing the trust level of leaders. The data from the leadership assessment is utilized to inform individualized professional development action plans and customized training grounded in research-validated and practice-based methods, which, when implemented, increase the level of trust in leaders - and measurable business, organization, or school improvement.

As a guest speaker, trainer, and consultant, his work has taken him throughout the United States and Europe, South Asia, Central, and South America.

Dr. Travis is the author of the award-winning book “TrustED: The Bridge to School Improvement” - available at Amazon, featured in Forbes, and named “Book of The Month” (November), and nominated for “Book of The Year” (2021) by The Magic Pen.

Richard Newman is an award-winning writer and in-demand speaker with expertise in leadership communication, storytelling, mindset, and personal impact.

Richard is the Founder and CEO of Body Talk, a global leader in evidence-based communication training. Since 2000, Richard and his team have trained 100,000 people worldwide, with clients from 46 countries.

In the new hybrid world, there are more ways to communicate than ever before, but finding true connection and engagement still eludes many of us. Without the ability to effectively engage an audience and inspire action, new ideas struggle to be implemented, adding frustration and failure to the workplace.

Richard transforms that failure into success, helping one client gain over $1 Billion in new business and winning 100% of the pitches he coached them on by applying the breakthrough strategies he teaches.

Richard began his communication journey by living in a Tibetan monastery in India for six months, teaching English to monks. Body language and voice skills suddenly became absolutely essential to Richard’s work, as the monks spoke no English when he arrived, so they had to communicate non-verbally.

When he returned to the UK, Richard continued to study advanced communication skills while working as an actor on stage and screen.

In 2000, Richard combined his passion for communication with his love of storytelling when he founded UK Body Talk Limited. Over the next 21 years, Richard and his team developed a new, science-backed coaching method designed to create real and practical results.

Richard’s breakthrough research on communication has been published in the Journal of Psychology. Richard’s clients include CEOs, Vice-Presidents and leadership teams across many industries, including Virgin, Expedia, NYU, Microsoft, and 3M.

Richard documented his journey in his best-selling book, You Were Born to Speak, which debuted at #1 on Amazon for both Kindle and Hardback.

In 2014, Richard was the recipient of the Cicero Grand Award, the most coveted prize in the world for speechwriting.

David Mead believes work can be something we want to do, not just something we have to do. And most often, what determines our experience at work is culture. David helps leaders and organisations bridge the gap between the culture they talk about and the culture others actually experience. That culture congruence leads to trust, human connection, innovation, performance, and sustainable progress.

David began his career in corporate training in 2004. In 2009 he joined speaker and author Simon Sinek’s team. For the next 10 years, as the first of Simon’s “Igniters”, David helped share Simon’s simple, inspiring ideas through speaking and workshops to over 225 companies on 5 continents.

In 2017, David applied his years of practical experience and learning and co-authored, with Peter Docker and Simon Sinek, Find Your Why: a practical guide for discovering the WHY of an individual, team, or organisation. It has sold over 400,000 copies and is translated into 25 different languages.

In December 2019, David chose to step away from Simon’s team to focus on opportunities to take a more active role in guiding leaders to transform their cultures for the long term. Through speaking, training, consulting, and other avenues, David brings a relatable, human approach to leadership. He shares simple, practical, everyday tools leaders can use to create positive change for themselves and those around them. Throughout his career, David has seen and experienced leadership at both ends of the spectrum and what a difference authentic, human-centered leadership can make in how people feel about and experience their work.

David earned an MBA in 2011. He concentrated his course work on Organisational Development as much as possible in order to be better equipped to help leaders create environments in which trust, human connection, and sustainable performance are natural results.

Irvine Nugent believes that leadership development is a journey from the inside out. If our emotional intelligence is lacking, then any new business skill we attempt to implement will be adversely impacted. As such, he’s spent most of his career helping leaders harness the power of their emotions so they can have deeper connections, make better decisions, and increase their influence.

He possesses fifteen-plus years in senior leadership roles in organizations of various sizes, stages of growth and different sectors. He is experienced in challenging business environments and has worked extensively with executive and emerging leaders as an executive coach and consultant helping them become more self-aware, manage their emotions, read the emotions of others and manage their relationships.

Born in Northern Ireland, Irvine brings to his audiences a rich and varied experience. Growing up in a society torn apart by division and violence he has seen first-hand the damage done when communication breaks down and people fail to listen and understand. This has inspired him to help leaders build workplaces in which people thrive and realize their full potential.

A gifted storyteller, his programs are infused with passion, dynamism and of course his natural Irish humor. Paramount for Irvine is the importance that each person leaves with practical tools based on the latest scientific research that they can implement immediately.

Irvine is an internationally recognized trainer and top-rated keynote speaker and is one of the few worldwide certified FACS coders, who are experts in reading facial emotions. He earned his Ph.D. from Capella University with research focused on leadership in times of crisis. He is a graduate of George-town University’s executive coaching program. He is the author of the book, Leadership Lessons From The Pub.

My Assistant Producer said to me, “It’s time Deb.” It’s time for you to have a solo episode every month and share your wisdom from being in business for 31 years.

You have seen, heard and gone through so much, it’s time to share your journey.

I have driven through every barrier in my life with pure resilience. I’ve become a silent observer as I developed resilience in myself.  Self-acceptance is the highest emotional currency you can have as it allows you spend your richest commodity (time) in the best way.

There is progress in slowing down and having time to BE and think.

Join me on my first solo episode and learn the how, why, what and when of how I got to where I am today, a place I like to call Life By Design.  It’s come by way of heartache, hurt, lessons learned, barriers, roadblocks, frustration, fatigue, depression, trauma, sadness and learning that not all people are ‘nice’ or have your best interest aligned with their vision.

I would not change a thing because I’ve been heart-centered all the way through. The more I give, the more I receive.

Buckle up. Grab a coffee and enjoy! ♥

Claude Silver is an emotional optimist, coach, manager, and mentor. As the first ever Chief Heart Officer it is her great honor to lead at VaynerMedia. Claude works for 800 Humans, and is in touch with the heartbeat of every single person in the company. Her role is to infuse the Agency with Empathy. It's her purpose.

Culture is a texture. It’s a vibe. A feel. And culture is alive. It’s definitely not one or two-dimensional—Claude thinks culture is very three-dimensional. Culture is, in a nutshell, the heartbeat for her. It is something that absolutely lights up an entire system — if it is in place, and if it is thriving.

The CHO was created to scale Gary, and to make sure that VaynerMedia’s 800+ employees—and one day it will be 1,000+—have a place they can find a home. Claude's hope is that in our 15-30 minute meetings, they will feel a lot clearer and that they leave with a newfound path to a solution. Which in turn creates success for them and VaynerMedia.

Richard Moore originally worked 60-hour weeks in the City of London, before deciding to build his own businesses and help others do the same.

After building companies from the trenches up, by taking ownership of sales teams, coaching leadership roles and consulting with multi-hundred million-pound organisations, Richard created his own company to help others get massive traction as they launched their businesses.

As he did this, Richard invested in many of the companies he helped to create and shared with the world his views on business, through the weekly live Q&As he runs online, to university lectures and speaking gigs in front of business owners in his space. Richard also created products such as the Basics of Sales course and the LinkedIn Client Accelerator programme. He also directly mentors established businesses using his 17+ years of experience in the space.

Richard has recently brought to life the Entrepreneur Business Live events series. Operating across the globe, in London, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Melbourne, Barcelona and many more cities, “EBLive” has been rewriting the way networking events are built and are able to “do good”. By creating a community first and then providing them with world class speakers, a networking space and making donations to approved Charity Partners, impact is being felt not just by those that attend but also those less able; served by charities.

Richard has since been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post, Inc, Thrive, Influencive, Humans 2.0 Podcast and many others.

Barry was born and raised in St. Louis, MO as the oldest of nine siblings. Those two things made Barry who he is today: a servant leader. Throughout his high school years, Barry immersed himself in the JROTC programs at the various schools he attended, ultimately rising to be the top cadet in the city. This led him to wanting to pursue a career in the military and to also to be the first person in his family to graduate from a four-year institution, he did both! Barry is a graduate of The United States Military Academy at West Point. He obtained a Bachelor's of Science degree in Sociology with a track in Systems Engineering. He served active duty in The US Army as a Transportation Officer and as a Paratrooper in The 82nd AIRBORNE Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. That was just beginning. Things went for a drastic turn when he received a mental health diagnosis that ended his career in the military. Now, Barry is rebuilding by sharing his incredible story and inspiring others just one person at a time.

This episode was created from my heart ♥ for you.

Yoda's journey into cooking begins with playing in the dirt at my childhood home in Thorndale, Ontario. I started navigating my way through the restaurant scene, and later became a Red Seal Chef, restaurateur and private caterer. I've always loved food and once I got a taste for professional cooking and entrepreneurship, I always knew this is what I wanted to do with my life!

I was raised as your typical 'country' kid... I played in the dirt, always had to help with the chores, and I considered eating cherry tomatoes right off the porch plant an 'after school snack.' I wasn't an incredibly adventurous eater, but was lucky enough to have parents that cared about food. My mom was always a great cook - I have fond memories of making onion buns with her in the winter to go alongside hearty stew (I can still smell those onions!) My dad became a great cook a little later in life, but was always picking carrots out of the ground and encouraging us to take a bite - dirt and all. He has the greatest green-thumb of anyone I know! His garden today is full of meyer lemons, tomatoes of all colours and he even has an avocado tree in his office! If you’ve ever had food from Yoda’s Kitchen, you’ve had food grown from my dad’s garden!

My decision to become a chef came to me in my late teens after my parents separated and, after many meals of Kraft Dinner (eek!), my dad and I decided that one of us would have to learn. I took it on as a hobby and quickly realized that I had immense passion for it. I enrolled in Niagara College's Chef Training program that summer and off I went.

Fast forward a few years to my apprenticeship under Chef Alfred Estaphan at Sunningdale Golf Course in London. I'd been in the restaurant scene as a line cook at a few different establishments, and I'd begun to find my style as a young chef - I understood the importance of shopping locally, cooking seasonally and making things from scratch. It was during this time that I decided to do a bit of traveling so I took off to Australia for several months. I made enough money to keep traveling by picking macadamia nuts, making candy with a traveling brittle connoisseur and eventually got a job training under a pastry chef on a huge beach resort with a view of the ocean. It was pure bliss. I was missing home though, and after a short trip across Canada to visit the west coast, I came back and settled in London.

While working at some of the city's best restaurants (Braise and The Only on King to name a few) and working part time at Fanshawe College as a lab technician in the Culinary Department, I decided to give catering a go. I developed a business plan in 2010 and it was my Five Year Plan to quit my restaurant job and start catering full time. This dream became a reality in a short 8 months. My dreams were coming true!

During my time as a professional caterer, I had the chance to cater so many amazing events, meet many wonderful people and helped change people's lives. Along the way I had many, many challenges, but got to cater some pretty crazy events. I have catered in an open field with no running water or electricity. I've catered on a moving train. I've catered a surprise engagement in the middle of Springbank Park and a walnut fell and shattered one of my dessert plates! I've been blessed to be invited into many of your homes, and will always consider my time as a private caterer as one of the greatest times of my life.

In 2016 while my catering company was soaring, I decided to do what no one thought I would do... I opened a restaurant! In May 2016, we opened the doors of Glassroots. During the time Glassroots was open, we achieved many wonderful awards and accolades. We won Our London's "Best Restaurant" and "Best Patio" contest, and we were also named "London's Best Kept Dining Secret" by The London Free Press in their 2017 Reader's Choice contest. It was an interesting 16 months to say the least! I had the most wonderful staff, but restaurant life was incredibly different than catering, and very challenging. You can read more about the full story in my best selling book “Salt and Sour.” (Click here to get your copy)

After much thought and soul searching, I decided to leave the restaurant world and return to catering. Before doing so, I took a bunch of time off to work on my book, travel and spend time with family, and in Spring 2018, I relaunched Yoda's Kitchen 2.0! I am currently located at 1010 Dundas Street, behind the Booch retail store. You can currently find me at pop ups around the city, monthly cooking classes at Jill’s Table, eating lunch at Curley Brew Co, or delivering Little Green Meals around the city. I love partnering with other local businesses, playing with my dog Gnowee, writing poetry and of course, cooking dinner for friends.

There are hundreds of books that teach us how to be a “leader”. Most of them are good and teach the right things. But, Tom Lawrence has seen very few that teach us how to influence our people, or take our personal growth seriously, or even lead if you’re not in a “leadership position”.

Tom Lawrence wants to change that by writing books for people who are interested in leading and inspiring others.

He wants to help people who are not in a leadership position but are aspiring to become a leader, current managers who want to take the next step and become highly effective leaders, and to help senior leaders enhance their leadership skills.

Tom began his career in 1999 as an apprentice mechanical engineer, working for an automotive company in Liverpool, UK.

After completing his apprenticeship he was made redundant from that company and had to find other work, that is when he joined the rail industry working for Merseyside’s train operator. He worked there for six years, and during that time he achieved his degree in mechanical engineering, his master’s degree in maintenance engineering, and he started his first leadership role as a project manager in 2009.

After leaving Liverpool in 2011, he has worked in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London where he currently lives. Tom became a chartered engineer in 2013 and is a mentor for new and upcoming engineers working towards their chartership. Working in these different cities he had remained within the rail industry and led different types of engineering teams, learning and practicing different leadership styles.

Jessica Cox, Inspirational Speaker & Life Coach

A future where people passionately pursue their dreams with the resilience to overcome any challenge.

Described as a speaker “no one will ever forget,” I show audiences around the globe how to inspire enthusiasm and build authentic confidence. With the goal of showing people how to go home from work every day feeling excited for tomorrow, I teach them how to courageously tackle new challenges with creativity and unrelenting drive.

Since I was born without arms, I became fascinated by the limitless ways the human body can adjust to a variety of circumstances. I utilized dormant physical traits to adapt and use my feet the way people use their hands. As I learned to conquer physical barriers, I developed mental skills that allowed me to go on to achieve the seemingly impossible in my own, unique way.

-Jessica

Before you can achieve anything, you must first believe it IS possible. You must somehow convince your mind and your body that what you perceive as impossible can actually BE achieved. Challenging? Yes – but not impossible.

Jessica faced impossibilities from an early age leading her to develop Possible Thinking®. Possible Thinking is a process that allows us to believe the impossible is possible and to creatively ask ourselves HOW we can achieve what seems impossible at first. Possible Thinking converts obstacles to achievements using Jessica’s Achieve Model™.

Since 2005, Jessica has been challenging people to achieve their impossible dreams. She’s worked as an inspirational speaker with companies like Boeing, State Farm, Proctor & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson. She-in her inimitable way-demonstrates the key skills needed to overcome the most difficult obstacles.
