PRESENTED BY

Success Women’s Conference under the direction of

Kearn Cherry, Dorothy Wilson, Tiffany Bell

Dr. Cheryl Wood Dr. Cheryl Wood is driven by her past to continue moving forward in the rewarding, successful life she now leads. She grew up in poverty and was always made to believe that she would be just another statistic adding to the number of young Black girls who become teenage mothers and remain in poverty. As a teenager, she held onto no dreams. “I just contemplated what it would be like to live a life that was better than poverty,” she says.

Today, Dr. Wood is an international empowerment speaker, TEDx speaker, 14-time best-selling author, and master speaker development coach who specializes in equipping women to unleash the power of their voice and transform lives with their stories. She has trained women leaders across the United States and abroad including South Africa, India, France, United Kingdom, and the Bahamas. She has been featured on and in ABC, Forbes, Huffington Post, Essence, Black Enterprise, Rolling Out, Sheen Magazine, Fox 5 News, Fox 45 News, Good Morning Washington, The Washington Informer, The Baltimore Times and Afro-American Newspaper. She has delivered keynote presentations for NASA, Verizon, Capital One, The United Nations, Blacks In Government, Federally Employed Women and Congressional Black Caucus, to name a few.

“I remain adamantly committed to breaking that stereotype for myself and becoming an inspiration for disadvantaged young girls (and women) [to show them] that you never have to be a product of your environment.

You can give yourself permission to rise above your environment and soar!” she says.

She knows about overcoming hardships and how important it is for one to believe in herself.

“When I first started my business, my biggest challenge was my own toxic mindset. I didn’t believe I could be a

giant in the world because I was more focused on what I didn’t have than what I did have, which caused me to count myself out of a lot of opportunities. It caused me to play small and safe instead of taking big risks, and it caused me to devalue my worth and undercharge for my services. I had to work hard to master my mindset and uplevel my thinking so that my attitude, behaviors, and actions would reflect the new mindset that I was enough just as I was.”

Dr. Wood encourages women to value their worth and to persevere. She tells her clients: “You are a unique, one-of-a-kind masterpiece that no one can duplicate. The world needs your gifts and talents, so don’t play small and assume that you can’t make an impact on other people’s lives. There’s a segment of the population who have been divinely assigned to you, and they will stay stuck until you show up to serve them. So, start where you are -- don’t despise small beginnings -- and stay consistent. Be curious enough to keep looking for the thing that makes you feel alive and that is as important to you as breathing is. Once you have found your lane, refuse to quit or give up just because the full manifestation of what you want doesn’t happen overnight. Nothing is more important than your discovering your soul purpose and having the patience for it to manifest. When you commit to walking in your purpose, your life will never be the same and neither will the lives of those touched by your impact and your legacy! You owe it to yourself to go on your personal journey of self-discovery and purpose and to never give up!”

She stresses that every woman should give herself permission to create a life she is in love with instead of just settling for “existing” in life.

UPCOMING

Dr. Wood’s projects and plans promise to keep her busy and to put all that energy to good use. She is in a partnership with the No. 1 motivational speaker in the world (and a guru whom she has looked up to for her entire speaker career), Les Brown.

• YOU ARE ENOUGH on June 25-27, 2021 (www.youareenoughconference.com) • SpeakerCon2021, themed UNLEASH YOUR UNDENIABLE IMPACT, on Nov. 4-7, 2021.

Both events also will be book anthology projects where over 140 entrepreneurs share messages of inspiration to empower, encourage, and motivate others. info@cherylwoodempowers.com www.cherylempowers.com

“I am committed to empowering women globally to make their fingerprint count and create a legacy starting today! This is important to me because too many women get so consumed with their RESPONSIBILITIES that they neglect their POSSIBILITIES and later in life find themselves feeling a void and unfulfilled. I want women to know they do not have to choose one or the other -- they get to accomplish both -- they can be a great wife, mother, friend AND a world changer walking in their individual purpose while making an impact on other people’s lives! Every human being is put here for a purpose, and that purpose is bigger than any role or title we hold. So, I want to remind women that no one is going to make their purpose a priority until they do.” Dr. Wood explains.

She says one of the biggest lessons she has learned throughout her journey is that success if never free. “No one is going to GIVE it to you just because you deserve it. You must be willing to invest in your own success through a combination of sweat equity and financial investments. And when you know who you are becoming and you can visualize your success before it manifests, you become willing to invest more often and at a level that scares because you know that ultimately your ‘harvest’ will come in! You can’t plant excessively and never reap the harvest.”

Today, Dr. Wood says she is filled with gratitude that she is not only surviving beyond the environment of poverty that she was raised in, but she is thriving at a level she never imagined was possible.

“I get teary-eyed thinking about the fact that the girl who was raised in a single-parent household in an inner-city housing project with no college degree is now helping to transform lives all across the world and operating a seven-figure business that positions my children and grandchildren to come from wealth!

Today, I take pride in being a living testimony that IT IS POSSIBLE, IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!” She credits her success to her energy, her tenacious spirit, and her deep-seated commitment to lift others as she climbs. These are the attributes that make her unique.

“I love what I do, and it shines through in my energy when working with clients. I don’t have to fake it because it is organic -- that’s what happens when you do what you’re born to do. My tenacious spirit keeps me in the game no matter what. I don’t believe in giving up just because it gets hard, I get knocked down, I get discouraged, or I don’t get what I want immediately... I just keep showing up and working until what I want is right in front of me. And I LIVE my life by the rule of lifting as I climb. All the success in the world means nothing if you don’t reach back and help others to get to where they want to be. I never want to be at the top by myself. I want to bring as many other women with me as possible!”

Dr. Sonja Stribling She is driven by her desire to never see another woman experience the life she lived when she didn’t know my value and purpose.

IN THE WORKS I Own My Power Summit will take place October 2021 or January 2022

When Dr. Sonja Stribling was a teenager, she dreamed of becoming Wonder Woman, the superhero whose life seemed perfect and who helped so many people in their time of need.

At times throughout her journey, though, Dr. Stribling might have seemed to be the one who needed rescuing.

She became a mother at the age of 15, was raped and left for dead when she was 17. She went through a lengthy divorce after 18 years of marriage, lost houses and cars, and became clinically depressed.

Today, this retired U.S Army major and combat veteran, recipient of the Barack Obama Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, and former Bravo network TV host who has been featured on NBC, Fox, TV One, and The Word Network uses her training and experience to lead thousands to their own victories and to show them how use their inner power to ascend to their next-level life and business.

About the challenges she overcame, she says: “Yes, I know all this sounds so traumatic, but my point of sharing this information and my personal journal of my life is to show you that although we may experience tragedy in our lives, we can still muster up courage and strength and use the negative energy to create a life we deserve and desire. But it takes an inner power that many are challenged with discovering.”

These days Dr. Stribling is the chairwoman of the Born to Be Powerful® Academy, home of Women Speak and Grow Rich® Mastery Course and Kitchen Table CEO®. Her firm’s courses, events, and results-based coaching programs equip emerging and established women influencers, entrepreneurs, and game changers to use their life experience and knowledge to build their coaching and speaking empires.

She shares her trade secrets about how she turned her pain into power by shifting her mindset to have a purposeful and fulfilled life and how she generated $250,000 in one day and grew her business to $1 million

info@drsonja.com drsonja.com

in 12 months and the process she uses for her company to consistently generate $500,000-plus monthly in a world where the average coach generates $24,000 annually.

She is driven by her desire to never see another woman experience the life she lived when she didn’t know my value and purpose. Also, she wants her children to have legacy. “I truly believe the edict, ‘If you didn’t come from a wealthy family, let a wealthy family come from you.’”

Her message is for women to know they are more than a mother to their children, wife to their husbands and the caregivers to their families. “Although, those are great positions to have, we are called to do even the more. We are called to live a fulfilled life and become someone else’s superhero. How, you ask? By sharing our life experiences and knowledge to help someone else have a more fulfilling life, experience love, and/or have a booming business.”

In her life’s journey, she has learned that life is what you make it. “One shouldn’t wait on opportunities to present themselves; they should create their own opportunities. As a mother of three boys and a divorcee after being married for 18 years, I know all too well the mindset of a woman who wanted more but just didn’t know what that more was or how to get to it.”

She tells women that there is no better time than now to be a woman. “More importantly, there’s no better time than now to be a woman in business as a coach and speaker. Consider using your life experiences and knowledge to serve others to their next level,” she says. “I believe that if we know our P.O.W.E.R, own our P.O.W.E.R. and stand in it, we can be and do anything we desire.”

Her own ventures are flourishing. Here Born to Be Powerful Academy successfully operates as a women’s gateway to their next-level lives and businesses. “We help women who lack confidence and guidance to build a highly successful coaching and speaking business. We now conduct boot camps helping women launch and build their coaching and speaking businesses, she says. And she has published a new book, “No More Damn Excuses... a Woman’s GUIDE TO GAINING CONFIDENCE AND STEPPING INTO YOUR SUPER POWER.” She is also preparing for her first I Own My Power Summit, which will take place October 2021 or January 2022.

While Dr. Stribling might not have become the television version of Wonder Woman, she has become a superhero to many in need. She says: “I have used my superpower to help other women have a fulfilled life and a booming business.”

WHAT WE TEACH

The first truth is that health is multidimensional.

There are several dimensions of wellness. Every week on both my radio show and podcast, I reiterate this truth: An imbalance in any dimension of wellness creates disharmony (i.e. Disease or “DisEase”) throughout our entire being. This is holistic health! Caring for the whole person!

Secondly, how we care for our body during periods of “wellness affects our prognosis and recovery should we find ourselves in what I call a “suddenly” health crisis (i.e. a car accident or sudden illness such as COVID,) And lastly, we don’t know how resilient we are until resilience is a requirement! True resiliency is revealed during challenges but God’s strength dwells in us and enables us to be resilient in the midst of challenging times.

How to be more

socially confident

By Tiffany D. Bell Some people have social confidence to spare. It’s easy to see that some children are seemingly born with great social confidence, while others are not. Social confidence seems to come and go for most adults.

A serious lack of social confidence can lead to isolation and stifle career growth. If there’s one part of your life in which it pays to be confident, it’s in your social interactions.

Use these strategies to increase your social confidence and feel comfortable in all social situations: 1. Practice. Every person who crosses your path is a practice partner for your social skills. The more practice you get, the better you’ll become at interacting with others. The better you become, the more confident you’ll feel. There are all kinds of things you can practice: • Eye contact • Small talk • Non-verbal communication • Telling jokes • And more 2. Rehearse. Imagine yourself being successful socially.

Before you head into a social situation, rehearse in your mind. See yourself being confident and competent. Imagine others responding to you in a positive way. In time, you’ll learn to feel the same way out in the real world.

3. Adopt an effective attitude. It’s not a matter of life and death. No one is judging you or spending any of their time thinking about you. In fact, they’re probably wondering what you’re thinking about them.

• Interacting with people in a social context should be fun and pleasant. Have a reasonable perspective on the situation.

4. Focus on self-development.

When you feel better about yourself, you’ll be more socially confident. Whether that means getting in shape, learning a new skill, or meditation, any enhancements you make will leave you feeling more confident.

5. Learn. Learn about communication. Pick one area, such as nonverbal communication, and become an expert.

Then, get out and practice. When you’ve mastered that, pick a new area to learn about. The more you know, the better you’ll become. That leads to real confidence.

6. Avoid the need to be perfect. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be the funniest person at the party. You don’t have to be the most charming person in the bar. Perfection is an unreasonable goal that leads to anxiety and a lack of confidence.

7. Join a social group. You know a group of people who hang out together. It might be at work. It might be a friend who has a separate group of friends. See if you can join, too. Finding the right group of people can boost your social confidence.

• Perhaps you already have a group of friends. Spend more time with them. Or, you might form your own group and become the social director!

8. Combine social events with activities you’re good at. Are you a great softball player? Join a softball league.

Are you an expert at riding a motorcycle? Join a motorcycle club. Find an activity you excel at and turn it into a social activity.

• Make a list of everything you do better than the average person. Now, find a way to do that in a group setting. You might join a band, a chess club, or a group who square dances on the weekends.

Think about how much your life would change if you were more socially confident. How would it impact your career?

How would your social life be affected?

It’s hard to think of any potential downside to having greater social confidence. If you weren’t lucky enough to be born with perpetual confidence, you’ll want to grow and nurture this important attribute.

I always thought I wasn’t good enough. I lived in the shadow of what everyone else thought and said. However, I’ve learned that I had dreams and desires of my own.

I discovered in the night season of my life that I began to dream. My midnight was producing vision for my day. I began see that I was possible. I learned that there was more to me than I had ever imagined.

WHAT DRIVES HER

My vibrational frequency is high energy, dynamic, and uplifting. I’m a go-getter with a fire in my belly for prayer, transforming lives, and making a meaningful impact on others. I embrace my crazy, wild and (sometimes) foolish imagination. I was named after the cartoon character, Little Lulu. Growing up, I was constantly called crazy, busy body, loud, outrageous, confrontational, noisy, disruptive. I was told that the things I believed possible were impossible and that I “lived in fantasyland.”

glory after the trauma. There is victory after the battle. There is joy and fulfillment after whatever is your “this.” Your faith will reveal the glory of your experiences if you are willing to keep moving and pressing forward. My passion is to help navigate the journey.

KEY LESSONS LEARNED

The key lessons that I’ve learned are that my past created opportunities for me to grow and soar to new heights. Yesterday charted the course for the blessings and victories I manifest today. I learned the value of being my authentic self. I am amazing. I hold the pen that writes the script for my future. Therefore, I must be willing to release reciting the language of the old manuscript and communicate the great potential that awaits as I create my novel success story.

I’ve discovered that what some deemed as ‘crazy’ was in reality my genius. I’m driven by love. It inspires me, encourages me, and motivates me to continue spreading Revolution Ascension’s message.

HER MESSAGE

We share a message of Divine Feminine POWER, and it is not as a mantra; rather, it is a changed mindset with complete transformation. Here’s the truth: there are no limits in our greatness. That thing holding us back is often our “unsaid.” It’s the gate blocking our way, and we simply need to look inside to find the key.

KEY LESSONS LEARNED

I’ve learned:

1. Authenticity and being one’s true self from the place of our Divine Core is our “TRUE” seat of power.

2. Showing up in excellence yields a measure of “worldly” success; however, spiritual alignment and operating in one’s genius and gifting is the ultimate ASCENSION to one’s highest self.

3. Taking calculated risks without being reckless givess magnificent results.

Lee Mariano Lee Mariano is an author, speaker, business guru, and CEO and founder of Alexidom Coaching, a multifaceted coaching specialty centered on helping clients increase their self-confidence, reclaim their personal power, and rediscover their identity so that they can successfully achieve their goals and attain the life they desire most.

Lee Mariano’s mantra is simple: Show up with confidence. Speak with authority, and get things done. Lee merges an ability to help others with a deep sentiment for education, authorship, advocacy, and communal service. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business management and has served her country as a US Marine Corps Veteran. She is also a USA bestselling author and champions domestic violence advocacy, as she herself, is a proud survivor. Lee uses her experiences as a survivor to influence women to reinvent themselves, speak their personal truths, and begin again -- some of the many attributes she offers through her coaching practice. Her intention is clear: Lee wants women to stop hiding behind the labels that others have placed on them and to remain resolved to their purpose and the possibility of creating their own future.

I’m the daughter of a single teen mom who had to learn the art of independence at a very young age. As I watched my mother work so hard to create a good life for us, I knew I wanted something more for my future, for my career. I remember all the messages I’d received at a young age. College wasn’t an option.

Becoming a corporate executive was out of the question. But that wasn’t the life I wanted. I left home at 18 and joined the US Marine Corps. I knew if I wanted to jumpstart my future, I needed to be bold and do something unexpected. I served in the military for just under eight years, but it was the most impactful decision I could have made for myself, and it paved the way for the person I would become.

Being a woman of color, my challenges in corporate America were much different from my time in the military, but no less impactful. There were moments when I had to prove my value and show my worth to be given the credibility and validation of the position I held. When I was first promoted to an executive level position, and that first moment I walked into the boardroom was eye-opening. That space wasn’t created for me, so I had to bring my own seat to the table and create a place where my voice could be heard.

HER MESSAGE

My entire focus is on helping women get where they want to be. I want to help women stop hiding behind the labels that others have placed on them and to remain resolved to their purpose and the possibility of creating their own future. I work with women who feel overlooked, under-appreciated, or ignored, but they’re tired of playing small. They’re done with staying silent and minimizing who they are to make others feel comfortable. I work with them on their journey to evolve, change, and grow as they remove the barriers and beliefs holding them back.

I focus on helping my clients increase their self-confidence, reclaim their personal power, and rediscover their identity so that they can successfully achieve their goals

and have the life they desire most. It’s time to remove the labels others have placed on them, time to shed the fear that has paralyzed them and the uncertainty they feel about the future.

By outside standards, I’ve lived a life of success. But I also knew that my purpose in life was larger than working for a large corporation and serving only that population. It was important to me that I provide service and support to women, and particularly women of color, who did not have access to coaches to help them change their lives and level up their careers. Having a coach has typically been a corporate or executive luxury, but coaching is something that should be available to everyone who wants transformational change and is willing to put in the work.

KEY LESSONS

1. I had to recognize that my story has power. My voice is amplified every time I speak about my journey and what I’ve gone through. Even during those moments when I was afraid of rejection, I did it anyway.

2. I understand what it’s like to be at the bottom and climb my way to the top.

I’ve seen both sides of the coin and had to make a decision about my life and future. My strength comes from my ability to stand up and face my demon, face the judgment and ridicule. Ultimately, I recognized that if I wanted to push forward and have the life I wanted, I could never give up on myself or my goals.

3. Probably one of the most important lessons I learned is that I belong at the table wherever the decisions are being made. I learned to stop apologizing for my presence and my success, because I’d earned my place.

How to Get in the Grants Gamee

By Dr. Tonya Blackmon

Since COVID-19, the backdrop of the world economy has changed significantly. Rising unemployment rates and surprising business closures have led to increased job losses, and homelessness has skyrocketed due to the global pandemic. People from around the world have had to adjust and find ways to ensure their families have what they need to survive. In this article, you will learn how businesses can adjust, pivot, and use grants to help scale or create new revenues today.

Top suggestions to securing grants and growing any business.

1. Incorporate your business through the secretary of state.

When a person wants to start a new venture and/ or launch a new business idea, a strategic plan will be needed. Experts encourage business owners to form good business plans before launching their ideas. Recently, the United States government has offered several programs to support existing businesses during these challenging times. However, many people were unable to apply because they did not have their documents in order. Remember, incorporate your new or existing business. All business owners should strive to have a legit business with proper documentation.

2. Hire a reputable government business coach or hook up with your local SBA or SCORE for free services.

Today, business owners really do not have to develop their businesses alone. For those who are seeking reputable business coaches, the Better Business Bureau, SBA, PTAC and SCORE have created networks of coaches and consultants. Hiring or connecting with free PTAC consultants has helped business owners save time and money. Not only can they help business owners navigate the government grants playground, but they will also assist with completing the steps to becoming an authorized government contractor or vendor, which is needed to apply for government contracts and/or bids.

3. Find out what the U.S. government really buys and sell that item/service to them.

The US government spends billions of dollars yearly on products and services. They buy toilet paper, fund nonprofit programs, share funds to build transitional houses, need bounce houses for parties, hire contractual professional trainers, etc. Wise business owners not only build the capacity to do the work or provide the services sought by the government, but they also search daily for new opportunities and have developed a strategy to apply and win potential government opportunities.

What is your business forecast?

The future can be bright and profitable for business owners, but we all must plan for unforeseen challenges.

COVID-19 has taught us to be prepared for extraordinary disasters. If you did not have access to the internet or were not connected to social media, would you be able to generate cash from your business? How do your customers receive your services and/or products when disasters strike? Does your business have multiple cash flow streams? If you are not already connected in the government grants system, try it. Some businesses have excelled during the pandemic, and others have closed or created new product lines. Remember the tips: Incorporate Your Business through the Secretary of State, hire a reputable government business coach or hook up with your local SBA or SCORE for free services, and find out what the U.S. government really buys and sell that item/service to them. This is how any business can get start applying for and winning government grants and/or bids.
