Her process Works

A little over two years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Edna at a Networking meeting. I spoke to her for just a few minutes but it was enough for me to know that I needed her help. I was at a place in my life that I had not motivation and felt unhappy with most aspects of my life. I thought I was doing everything right but somehow it was not coming together. It took some time but I finally made an appointment. I am uncomfortable speaking about my self and my failures but I soon opened up to her and she helped me discover my strength and made me use what I thought were failure to propel me to the next level of my life and career.

In just a few months, I designed a plan that I am keeping to even now. I changed the Course of my Career, my life and my health. Everything I thought I needed someone to give me, I discovered I had it within me all along. Edna guided me to my strength to help me make the tough decisions and change my life. I will support Edna and encourage anyone who needs help with direction in their career and their life or just to work though any of that old "Stuff" that keep us stuck. She is definitely the one to call and you can quote me on that.

Influences and inspiration

Iyanla Vanzant, Oprah Winfrey, and Shirley Chilsom are three of my most influential people. Iyanla is an inspiration to me because she is a strong black woman who has overcome many challenges in her life. Oprah is a role model because she is a self-made billionaire who has achieved great success in her career. Shirley Chilsom is someone who indelibly marked my life because she looked like me and showed me as a young child that I can be and do anything.

I first learned about Iyanla Vanzant when I was watching her show on television. I was drawn to her strength and her ability to help people overcome their problems. Iyanla's books and speeches have also helped me to grow as a person.

Oprah Winfrey is another person who has inspired me greatly. She is an example of how anyone can achieve their dreams, no matter where they come from. I admire Oprah's strength, her intelligence, and her compassion.

Shirley Chilsom was my first black teacher. She was a kind and patient woman who made me feel like I could do anything. She showed me that I didn't have to be afraid to be myself, and that I could achieve anything I set my mind to.

I am grateful for the influence of these three women. They have helped me to become the person I am today. I am a strong, confident woman who knows that I can achieve anything I set my mind to.
