Nead Inspiration Fall Tour: Creating Inspired Vision!

It was an amazing, connecting time this Fall as I took a little tour of the midwest and encouraged people to acknowledge and live out their purpose and vision. One thing in common: The Nead Inspiration audience has a great sense of humor and is ready to jump in and take risks on their vision! Enjoy the photos- it really was as fun as it looked!

Independent Community Bankers of Minnesota: The 1440 Principle

I took a tour of Minnesota in the fall (absolutely beautiful!) courtesy of the Independent Community Bankers of Minnesota, traveling to Hutchinson, Worthington, Alexandria and Mankato. The 1440 Principle took center stage as we explored the big question- what if we treated time like a currency? The audience was so welcoming, ready to learn and pretty good at teasing each other! I felt the power of my own vision as I stayed at the Arrow wood resort in Alexandria overlooking a golf course that was the location of a cross country race I ran over 20 years ago! How cool is that?

ICBM set up me with this beautiful view in Alexandria.

Would you believe I ran a cross country race here when I was 17? This was the finish line.

Amazing wines at the Crow Winery in Hutchinson.

Life Launchers in Kansas City: Mapping out Inspired Vision

I had a day on the ground after the ICBM Mankato event and it was off to Kansas City for the KC Life Launchers event. A team of KC leaders, (Cathy Weaver, Suzie Savage, Martin Taggart, Mike Deathe, Kristy Mochel and Gigi Belmonico) teamed up with me at the KU Edwards Campus to help people launch their life, business, career or speaking! The day flew by, filled with energy, tears, laughter and big plans for the future. We hope to return in May!

Amazing facility at the KU Edwards Campus

YWCA Women’s Conference in Mankato! Creating Inspired Vision

I returned to Mankato (who knew) for one of the most lively and engaged audience I spoke to in 2013! The topic: Creating Inspired Vision. We let it all hang out and shared the need to love ourselves, support each other and reach for our purpose on the planet!

Truly amazing energy at the YWCA Women’s leadership conference.

The Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit

It almost seemed poetic to finish my tour at Iowa’s Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit at the Olmstead center on the Drake University campus. My parents were immigrants and I enjoy the fruit of their sacrifices. It was exciting to see energized, interested people using their gifts to create their American dream.
