  • How to Manipulate Time to Get Ahead in Business and in Life

    Michael Opyd, President, Dynamic Ventures LLC

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    The one thing that can never be bought is time. Regardless of how rich someone is every day we are all given the same 24 hours. It is up to you how you spend it. You can allow your time to be stolen from you or you choose to control time and use it to your advantage. The choice is yours. MORE >

    Unfortunately, most people do not understand time. They only see what their smartphone or clock on the wall says. But what if you could control time? What would you do if you were able to create more minutes in your day? Time is something that has fascinated me for a long time. I've spent a lot of time studying and understanding time and want to share my knowledge with anyone who is looking to get more out of their days.

    I'd love an opportunity to come and speak to any audience big or small. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out! I look forward to the opportunity to help!

  • How to Live and Earn Well with a Business You Love

    Tikoshia Davis, CEO and Founder, Business Made Simple Coaching & Consulting

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    Self-care is a right, not a privilege. This means that you can have a business you love, without sacrificing your well being in the process. Yes, really. MORE >

    My name is Tikoshia and I am a holistic business coach that specializes in teaching entrepreneurs how to build sustainable and profitable businesses that complement their quality of life — not consume it.

    Running your own business is hard! There’s a never-ending to-do list, long nights, and bouts of fear that can plague you on a daily basis. But, you know what? While all of that can be true, it doesn’t have to overtake you.

    Once upon a time I've tried doing things the imbalanced way. And, right when my coaching practice was starting to take off, I received the most devastating news of my life: I had breast cancer. I knew that if I had made it to the other side of that fight, I would do even more to make my dreams and the dreams of my clients, a reality, but not at the expense of my health. And that’s exactly what I did.

    You can run your business and still enjoy a happy, healthy quality of life. I’m here to show you how.

    In this talk, I will offer support with the following challenges:

    *Need clarity in how to align your business with your spirituality
    *Lack of systems in your business to promote growth
    *Recovering perfectionist, high achiever and/or professional that wants success in your own terms without the guilt of not doing “enough”
    *Want to find the confidence and the faith in yourself to go after their dreams

    THIS TALK BEST SERVES:

    *Professional women (leaders and administrators in higher education)
    *New entrepreneurs (2-3 years’ experience)
    *Aspiring entrepreneurs
    *Conferences and events that are about women in business/entrepreneurship, self-care, wellness, faith based groups

    PRESENTATION FORMAT TYPES:

    *Keynote address
    *Trainings and Workshops
    *Conference Breakout Sessions and Panels
    *Webinars
