Jamar and Robert with CBL and Frank Ceballos with REACT

Jamar Johnson is the Founder and CEO of Community Basketball Leagues Worldwide, Inc. (CBL). He’s also a published author and Chief Editor of CBLHOOPSUSA Magazine.

Former Indiana high school phenom and college basketball player, Jamar Johnson, started a community-based recreational semi-pro basketball league in his hometown. Today, based in Tempe, AZ, the CBL is the largest national membership-based recreational and semi-pro basketball league for adult players in the US. The Community Basketball Leagues (CBL) has gone from being a fun and competitive league for recreational players to a league that is now giving players a pathway to a college and professional basketball career.

Over the last nine years Jamar has experienced days that have really tested his resolve and his reasoning for wanting to do the league. Every time that he thought he was ready to throw in the towel and give up, something would happen to show him why the CBL was so important. A player would get a college scholarship or a contract to play overseas. Another would get the job that he really wanted. A parent would email him thanking him for making the league available for their son, or a player would call him and say he appreciated what Jamar was doing for players.

The league started with 144 players and today they have close to 25,000 players in their national database.
This is also why Jamar has such a strong belief about the CBL. The numbers don’t lie and the CBL has never had millions of dollars for a national marketing campaign to get all of those players interested in the league.

All of this just makes Jamar work harder because he knows there are so many players out there that need the CBL so they too can enjoy their recreational experience or live and seek out their basketball dreams and aspirations. The CBL’s ultimate goal is to have leagues for men and women players in 600 cities all across the United States.

Jamar’s mission with the CBL League Franchise and team ownership program is to provide a turn-key business opportunity for those who love the game of basketball, want to do something great in their community, and help players get the exposure and the opportunity they need to further their career!

Robert Branch is finishing his first year as the League Director and Head Basketball Coach with the CBL Exposure League. Robert has a degree in Computer Networking and Information Technology and is currently pursuing a degree in Sports Management from Grand Canyon University.

Coach Branch has over 12 years of experience coaching basketball at the Youth and High School level. He has coached at Scottsdale Christian Academy, and Paradise Valley High School. During this time, he has won a State Championship (2013). Coach Branch has seen players he has coached go on to play at Division I Universities such as Fresno State and Stanford. Coach Branch spent time as a League Director (LD) and Player Development Coach (PDC) of the Central Arizona Basketball Organization (C.A.B.O). During this time, he has developed players and has guided them into securing contracts from International Teams such as (China, Italy, London).

Robert is very excited to play a vital role in the community and also taking an active Leadership role in player character development.

His Motto is: Hard work can take you to places you want to go!”

Frank Ceballos has over eight years of law enforcement experience. He began his career in law enforcement in October 2009 as Reserve Officer with the Arizona State Capitol Police after completing the Academy at Chandler – Gilbert Community College. In June of 2010, Frank was given the opportunity to become a full-time Police Officer with the Arizona State Capitol Police.

In February of 2012, Frank was selected to become the Administrative Trooper for the Capitol District after the merger with the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Frank was selected for this position for many reasons. Mainly due to the fact that he had a 15 year career in Grocery Retail Management and had previous experience with mergers. Frank was quickly tasked with important projects. One of which was putting together a training program to teach state employees how to increase their chances of surviving an active shooter incident.

In over three years Frank taught well over 5,000 state employees and was invited to the 2015 Judges Judicial Conference to present his program to over 150 judges. During Frank’s career in law enforcement he became an Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training General Instructor, Arizona Terrorism Liaison Officer (TLO). Frank has completed the Arizona State University Certified Public Manager Course (CPM), Advanced Supervision for the Law Enforcement Leader and Arizona Department of Public Safety Leaders in Training (LIT).

With all of this talent, skill, expertise and passion for helping others, Frank founded the newly formed company, REACT Respond Effectively Against Credible Threats.

Frank is married to his beautiful wife Luz. They have been together since 2008 and they run a successful Real Estate Team at Realty ONE Group. They have a wonderful daughter named Jasmine. Frank also has two older daughters named Catherine and Abigail. Frank loves spending time with his family and helping others achieve their goals and dreams.

We provided Own It free of charge to over 40 other non-profits and organizations. The YWCA works collaboratively with other non-profits and organizations to change the lives of financially disadvantaged women and the families in our community.

LEADERSHIP LOWDOWN with Chris Sharfner and Dean Katris

LEADERSHIP LOWDOWN WITH CHRIS SHARFNER AND DEAN KATRIS

Chris Sharfner is originally from Chicago. He graduated in the top of his class and passed on a basketball scholarship to Xavier and an academic scholarship to Purdue. Instead, Chris took the opportunity to serve in the United States Air Force as a member of a Special Ops unit.

Chris spent four years in the USAF jumping out of airplanes. After he got out he became a broker for Merrill Lynch. After about a year, he realized that he didn’t want to be stuck in an office all day talking about somebody else’s money.

After Merrill, Chris got into the collection industry and did pretty well for myself. He worked from home for a few hours a day and make fantastic money. Although the industry had a way of making you feel “scummy”, it did have its upside. That is until the day his CEO called him and told him that he made too much money! Chris reminded him that he was in sales so he knew that his boss made 10 times as much as he was making.

“He went on about how he lived in a double wide when he was my age, and at that moment it hit me: ‘one day this guy is not going to want to pay me what I’m worth!’ I decided then that I wanted to work for myself so I opened C and J Professional Cleaning in 2004.”

C and J Professional Cleaning Services provides high quality commercial cleaning and janitorial services in Phoenix and throughout the Valley. When Chris is not working, he enjoys working out, riding my motorcycle and hanging out with my family.

C and J Professional Cleaning Services

Promotional products, also known as ad specialties, make up a nearly $17 billion dollar industry and are used by virtually every business in America. Why?

Clearly a born entrepreneur, Dean exemplifies the idea that if you want something enough, and you are willing to give it your all, you can attain it. A Business Economics graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, Throughout his career, Dean has started and successfully operated several businesses in the apparel industry, as a real estate broker, as well as a custom home building corporation.

Kenny Weiss and ChickTech Phoenix

Kenny Weiss is a Coach, Speaker and Author who is at the forefront of the personal development field. Through his own personal journey and nearly 30 years of studying about the role emotions play in our lives, he brings a one of a kind skill set to the individual or business that is looking for more happiness and success personally and professionally.

Whether you are looking to improve your personal or professional success, your outcome will ultimately depend on what you feel. Not your thoughts, not your plan or your process! Think about it. How many times have you laid in bed thinking and knowing known what to do? You know the plan and the process but you just don’t “feel” like doing it? Maybe it was something you know would make your spouse happier and bring you closer? Something you should be doing for your kids? Or maybe it is career oriented? You want to take a big risk, try something new? Whatever it is, the process isn’t what is holding you back, your thoughts aren’t what are holding you back, it’s the “feeling” that comes up! As you lay there contemplating making that choice, “you just don’t feel like it.” Well, I have just detailed where that feeling comes from, why we all have it and how to overcome it in my book, “Your Journey To Success.”

This book bridges the gap to all of the other success books. When you have this skill you can put into place the wonderful tips and processes all the other great success books offer.

Kenny’s clients have included, entrepreneurs, companies, professional athletes, individuals and families who are looking to dig deeper and reach their full potential! They are seeking to make more money, advance in their careers and have deeper more connected relationships with their partner and families.

Since the first award in 1982, ATHENA International™, a non profit organization, has honored approximately 7,000 individuals in 500 communities and 8 countries with ATHENA Leadership Awards. These individuals are committed to their profession, their community and to helping other women achieve their full leadership potential. They embody the attributes of the ATHENA Leadership Model ~ Being Authentic; Building Relationships; Collaborating with Others; Being Courageous; Advocating Fiercely; Constantly Learning; Giving Back and Celebrating.

ATHENA honors the highest level of professional excellence coupled with the values of giving back and the responsibility for opening leadership opportunities for others. Honoring successful women in business encourages others to both envision and strive for their highest potential. The long-term vision is to achieve a balance in the voices of leadership.

Joining many ATHENA chapters around the globe, the ATHENA Valley of the Sun (AVOS) was formed in 2015 with the focus of supporting women as we evolve from leadership at the community or grassroots level all the way to the governing Board of Directors.

AVOS offers the opportunity to experience extraordinary women as role models that exist in each of us. Our purpose is to provide opportunities for sharing stories of overcoming odds, challenging broken systems, taking brave actions, mending polarities or being the calming voice in the shouting of oppositions.

AVOS offerse a unique program for girls in grades 11 and 12 grade to provide them with leadership training. On March 8, 2018 (International Women’s Day), they are hosting the ATHENA HAIL Awards to honor Dr Eileen Borris, six local women business owners and also 10 young girls making an impact in the community.
