Laurie Sjostrom is passionate about empowering parents to advocate effectively for their children with a serious medical diagnosis. As an intercultural communication expert working 21 years with top executives from multinational companies, Laurie trained experts on how to effectively get results from counterparts in other countries.
After her first child was diagnosed with a very rare condition, Laurie encountered all of the overwhelming emotions and the disorientation of no longer knowing what was best for her kid. After her second child was diagnosed with 3 different serious issues, she experienced the transformation that today gives her the confidence to set up events for businesses that support families, speak on the radio, and raise awareness for Scoliosis treatment.
Along with this experience, Laurie chose to learn more about coaching and is a certified Mindvalley Life coach working one to one with parents who reach out to her. While her schedule is filled with speaking engagements, she always finds time for those who are truly struggling.

Michael Unbroken - Founder of Think Unbroken
My journey is not dissimilar to that of millions of people around the world. I grew up in chaos. My mother was a drug addict and alcoholic. My father abandoned me when I was barely 2 years old. My step-father was hyper abusive, and the kind of guy that you pray never enters your life. We grew up in The Mormon Church where I was molested by one of the Ward’s mothers in the night. Since we were often homeless and the church partitioners took us in I wasn’t allowed to say a word. By the time I was 11 I had been entirely stripped of my childhood. Between the beatings, belittlement, molestation, and homelessness I was ready to kill myself. By 12 I was using drugs daily. One of my brothers and I were adopted by our racist grandmother.
My businesses were booming, but everything else around me was in shambles. I was addicted to sex, porn and love, I was drinking and getting stoned every day, and seeking validation from every external source I could find. I was also in the worst shape of my life at over 140 lbs overweight and morbidly obese. I was stricken with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts. Then one day everything changed.
After another drug and alcohol-fueled night, I woke up hating myself. I hated who I was, and I hated who I had become. As a child, I promised myself that I would be better than the people that brought me into the world and I had broken that promise. I decided in a single moment that everything had to change. Fast forward 6 years and I am the happiest and healthiest that I have ever been.
I no longer seek validation from drugs, booze or women. I have transformed my body and my mind through hard work, dedication, persistence, and unwavering belief that I can do anything.
Today I educate people around the world on the effects of trauma and how to get out of THE VORTEX, take their lives back, and become the person that they know they are. The most important piece of that puzzle is taking the first step.

Sam Mitchell - Podcaster, TEDx Speaker, Blogger, International Speaker
Envision yourself as a person who has a bright future, but then get diagnosed with autism at a young age, and you develop a lack of conversational skills when one of the requirements in society is discussing with someone.
Now, I do not converse with any male or female easily because I have the tendency to talk about what I only want to, and it leads people the wrong way. I have never been able to figure out the reason, but at the end of the day, I brush the dust off, and I reclaim my territory.
My voice is an attribute even though society may not agree. I have myself and others who would disagree with most of the human population. Each day before I go to bed I make sure that I lit my torch to know that I am here as well, so why are you not letting me in while giving me a chance at my redemption?
When I am conversing with someone, the person who saves me from fainting is me. The reason is no one knows how I talk to someone one hundred percent as I go off-topic too much along with coming across as selfish by not sharing thoughts with others. While I like to converse with my family and peers, it is damp and causes too much anxiety and depression to where I have to tiptoe on my feet.
There have been people who I feel more comfortable speaking to than others, but it will never be full-fledged comfortable. This will always be an almost mature and comfortable mood. However, I would not wish to change my conversing skills. If I had one wishing star come down, it would certainly not be that. I have so much to say that fire would eventually come out of my breath. I always wonder if others care about my thoughts, which has led me to not care about people who have not listened to my thoughts. Furthermore, I know I am a relevant human being and that is the only opinion that matters to me.
You can debate whether this could be me being a jerk or not? I am only just feeding you accurate information. The decision and the rest are up to you. My enemies have made me stronger so if you choose to not like me and throw me off the cliff, then go ahead, but my friend, you are wasting your time because you cannot start drama or make me feel bad about myself. I have been through too much to not have my life puzzled together. You once did push me, but I have officially resurrected and no matter what, I will keep coming back. Instead of saying stop drop and roll, we should say listen, open your ears, and include.
I am no longer a hidden gem. I am the gem for others who need my voice and others who just want a direction. Additionally, I’ve been shot in the head too many times while conversing, and I am now bulletproof to the negativity during a conversation. Each person has been manipulated into the negatives and their fifty-percent right when it comes to skills we do not understand or topics that we consider trivial. However, put us in our element, and it will become a different ball game.
We can converse with you like anyone else when it comes to our knowledge that we just want to share with the planet. It is time for everybody to become more open-minded when it comes to autistic people conversing. Instead of looking at autistic people blabbing as a foreign language, it is now time for us to see the rise of the Sun while others give us the undivided attention that we so desperately need for the world to hear us. Now let’s envision an autistic person who lacks conversational skills again.
The one thing I hope you took from this is that you know society puts pressure on people on the spectrum as they must converse with the human species and I do not think society will fully understand. They could always be a problem in the future, but let me ask this: Why can’t you become part of the solution?

John Leister - Self-Published Author and Creator of The JohnnyVerse
I'm fifty-six and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. About three years ago, I hit emotional-bottom and reached out to God. Since then, my life has changed in the following ways:
I'm no longer addicted to sugar.
My weight has gone from 235 lbs. to 170 lbs.
I work-out regularly: weight-lifting, yoga and daily, long walks.
I post videos of myself working out on my Facebook page. I'm not shy.
Most importantly, I've been pursuing my dream of becoming a professional writer of creative fiction with more passion than ever before. For me, at least. Now? I have over eighty books on-line. If you Google Indigo Books and search John Leister, you can check them out. I would be more than happy to send you one.

Michelle Jewsbury - Philanthropist, Speaker, Author and Coach
Michelle Jewsbury is an international philanthropic, speaker, author, and breakthrough coach. May 2014, she took her first humanitarian trip to Guatemala where she helped an orphanage on the Rio Dulce. Her next mission trip took her to Kenya, Africa withKizimani, a non profit that focuses on bringing hope and sustainable change to impoverished communities. In 2015, she embarked in a career as Vice President for Young Vision Africa, a non-profit organization that encourages young leaders in Sierra Leone to make lasting changes in their country. Also in 2015, Michelle joined a team of people in Hyderabad, India where she worked with Back2Back at one of their orphanages.
Michelle left her position with Young Vision Africa in August 2016 to focus her efforts on ending domestic violence. Her desire to help victims of domestic abuse came from personal experience in such a relationship. Michelle was with her assailant for three years where she endured physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse. Michelle wrote, produced and performed a critically acclaimed play about her experience entitled But I Love Him. The play debuted at the largest Solo Festival on the West Coast, The White Fire SoloFest, with a nearly sold out performance in February 2016. The show, also staged in the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival, received multiple reviews and commendations.
She has since completed and published her personal memoir with the same title as her play. But I Love Him is a painful yet inspirational true story of a strong, independent woman caught in the horrifying cycle of domestic violence and how she got out. In this book, she shares the details of her struggle with genuine honesty, taking the reader on a twisted journey of love, pain and unyielding brutality that eventually leads…to peace. Mixing statistics, research and resource with her own account (and even some humor), Michelle shows just how far someone in her situation can sink, why it happens and how they can always pick themselves back up. Those who hear her story walk away with a newfound understanding about the horrors of domestic violence, how to escape and how to build a new, healthier life.

Fiona Demark - Motivational Speaker, Life and Career Coach, Inclusion and Diversity Speaker
I am Fiona Demark, an inspirational speaker and life coach who moves participants from not achieving the results they are capable of, to inspiring positive change in both your professional and personal lives. I provide practical strategies that make a lifelong impact upon participants.
Over the past 25 years I have had the pleasure of working with people to gain focus and step into their own power. My real world examples of overcoming adversity and building resilience place me in perfect stead to share tools with others to build personal resources and inspiration to reach their goals.
What makes me unique and stand out from every other executive trainer and keynote speakers, is that I am legally blind. Having a disability since birth has taught me that life can be a challenge, but ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’. By meeting challenges head on and constantly stepping outside my comfort zone I have built resilience and learned how to keep moving forward through adversity.
I would love to share this knowledge with you and look forward to speaking with you further about how we can work together to make this happen.

Testimonial: "Janine Regan Sinclair has given many seminars at The Northstar Crystals Events over the last 5 years. She has spoken on a variety of topics to audiences ranging in size from 60 to 200 people. I have found her presentations to be very professional and undoubtedly the audiences feel the same way as the lecture room fills to capacity on her return visits. She will be speaking again at my future shows." Eric Henderson, Event Organiser, UK
Testimonial: I was privileged to participate in a workshop led by Janine Regan-Sinclair, The Consciousness Architect, who can more aptly be described as The 'Ascended' Consciousness Architect.. As a speaker, Janine presents unique concepts that she has refined through years of diligent inner exploration and uncompromising studies to expand our consciousness beyond the limiting patterns of the 3D duality matrix. She tailored her material to the needs of our audience, providing a practical blueprint for transcending duality through the power of the multidimensional mind. She clearly explained how to recognize and overcome problems playing out in everyday life in a remarkably simple way. Janine generously shared valuable wisdom and techniques for living more effectively and peacefully in a rapidly changing—and often chaotic—world. Her presentation was very well received by all participants. I highly recommend her as a speaker.

He’s author of The Secret Lives of men.
‘A great book written from professional and personal experience. James brings his analysis to life with real-life examples from his years of supporting men. He has an accessible writing style but provides a passionate and insightful guide to inner feelings and how they can affect our day-to-day relationships. As a husband, son, father and friend this book has made me reflect on my own deeper feelings and how we impact on those around us.
The book is also genuinely funny in places and one is left feeling better equipped after finishing it. I have recommended it to male friends but am also aware of female friends who have bought it in the hope of both getting a better understanding of their partners and also encouraging them to better understand themselves.’

Rhiannon Abbott - Master Baker
I’m Rhiannon. I’ve baked since I was young but, after leaving a career in local government in 2012, I re-trained with Virtuous Bread and set up my own bakery from home. From selling bread on the local Farmers Market, I now enjoy passing on my skills through my bread making classes. I love seeing students’ success and the ‘wow’ moment as fresh baked loaves appear from the oven – both are a great part of each class for me.
Based in Epsom, Surrey, my classes include an Introduction to bread making, Introduction to Italian Breads, Sourdough Breads plus occasional festive baking classes, so there’s something for everybody.
Not able to come to a class? You could also join my supportive Facebook community (1,900+ members) for home bread bakers, where I offer tips and advice on baking bread at home. My first online bread baking course will be launching in March 2020.
I also support small and start up baking businesses to use social media effectively to grow their business. Plus I run training for people who would like to set up their own bread bakery business from home.

Duncan Yellowlees - Storyteller and Speaker Trainer
What is it that gets people to engage? What do we pay attention to? What is a presentation anyway? These are the sorts of questions that fascinate me. My background in theatre led to a master’s in science communication and a career helping speakers and performers make the best use of their time on stage. Along the way I’ve learnt about storytelling, comedy, psychology and how to explode things (safely) on stage. All part of a mission to aid presenters in telling the best stories in the most effective ways. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, and train/coach people from around the UK and the world.
