Kolleen Edwards Chesley has 25 years of experience in the financial services industry and spent the majority of her career as a financial advisor. In that role, Kolleen was responsible for finding her own clients and quickly learned the value of networking, networking, and even more networking. It was in 2004 and during her sales career that she, along with two other professional business women met for lunch with the purpose of helping to motivate each other after Hurricane Ivan had blown through our area and changed not only the physical landscape of the area, but also impacted the business landscape as well. Out of that lunch was born what is now a thriving not-for-profit organization for business women.

Kolleen currently serves full-time as the Founding Director of what was originally called Women’s Business Lunch and is now known as Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast. The organization advocates a culture of confidence building, lifelong learning, collaboration, empowering others and a spirit of charitable giving.

Orginally from Scotland, I worked overseas for 25 years as a satellite systems engineer. My career started on very large Satellite Antennas measuring over 100 feet across and weighing over 400 tons. Work varied from communications support for the NASA Space Shuttle to providing a video link for a presidential visit to Africa. Travelled to over 100 different countries and territories. A decade ago, my life changed forever when a chiropractor used too much force while treating an old parachuting injury. The best spinal doctors not only could not diagnose my very rare injury, but also told me I would never walk again. I refused to accept that and used my engineering background to figure out what had been done to me. After more than 8 years of physical therapy, I am now working the Alternative Energy Field. Never let anyone tell you what is or is not possible.

Greg Devlin, Co-Founder Worldwide Neon Tiki Tribe

“After surviving a massive missile explosion, I feel like I have been given a second chance in life and want to make a difference in the world by helping as many kids at an early age as possible. I feel that if we can make a positive impression on children between the 1st to 4th grade levels (before they hit the high peer pressure age groups of middle and high school), we can really make a difference as they grow older.”

Neon Tiki Tribe book series combines comic book super heroes with real life educational values.TIKI in Neon Tiki Tribe represents Thoughtful Intelligent Kind Individuals and the world sure needs more of these.

SUPER HEROES SHOULD DO MORE THAN JUST ENTERTAIN.
TO TEACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN (AND YOUNGER) VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS BEFORE THEY REACH THE HIGH PEER PRESSURE AGE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL SO THAT THEY’LL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS WITHOUT THE HELP OF THEIR PARENTS OR TEACHERS, WHEN FACED WITH CHALLENGING CHOICES.
IF YOU KEEP A CHILD’S ATTENTION LONGER, THE EDUCATIONAL MESSAGE WILL BE STRONGER.
READING IS THE BASIS OF LEARNING AND EVERY CHILD, IN EVERY COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.

It goes without saying; that we never want to lose our children, ever. Empowering them when they’re young (1^st to 5^th Graders) with “real life” lessons will position them to make the right decisions when we’re not around.

The topics in red ink above are serious, but by using fictional TIKI Super Heroes and funny cartoon like settings we’re able to keep the children engaged without the stories being overly scary.

WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

ITEN WIRED Radio Ep. 6-2018: 1 Million Cups

00:00 /

ABOUT 1 MILLION CUPS
Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and engage with their communities over a million cups of coffee, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups in 2012—a free program designed to educate, engage and inspire entrepreneurs around the country. Through the power of volunteers, 1 Million Cups has grown to more than 180 communities.

As a program of the Kauffman Foundation, 1 Million Cups works with entrepreneurs, empowering them with the tools and resources to break down barriers that stand in the way of starting and growing their businesses. Mr. Kauffman believed it was a fundamental right for anyone who had a big idea to be able to bring it to life—and we’re here to fulfill that mission.

OUR CULTURE
Diversity, equity and inclusion are key to the success of our programs. Nationwide, 1 Million Cups communities aim to present an inclusive and supportive front door to their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. These qualities are essential for 1MC to fulfill its mission to educate, engage and connect entrepreneurs with their communities. And they are too essential to leave to chance as the number of 1MC communities continues to grow.

ABOUT THE KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION
Founded by Ewing Marion Kauffman, the Foundation is driven to provide uncommon ways to create opportunities and connect people to the tools they need to achieve success, change their futures and give back to their communities. We believe that if you have an idea, you have a fundamental right to start a business to make it a reality.

We also believe that opportunity lies in the fields of education and entrepreneurship. Our team is based in Kansas City and made up of connectors and doers who dream big, solve problems with the communities we serve and take calculated risks to drive results.

Having relationship problems? Can’t relax, your mind always races, memories keep intruding and affect your work, family, or social life? Tried a variety of ways to fix it but nothing really worked? These are problems I can help you with.

I focus on what’s happened to you vs. what’s wrong with you in two primary areas – relationships and couples as well as trauma. In the process I also work with individuals and children. I’ve helped several thousand people regain their lives, just like this woman, and I can help you as well.

Couples I work with are often struggling with a lack of emotional and physical intimacy, they’ve lost respect and trust for each other, and have little companionship or communication. And they often have frequent arguments about finances, sex, children, social media, etc.

I help couples open up to each other, rebuild mutual respect, trust, and honesty, understand what’s not working in their relationship and why, help them come up with mutual solutions for their problems, and re-experience friendship and simple joy in just being with each other.

Past trauma, accompanied by grief, is all too often an underlying and untreated cause of relationship, work, and health problems. Many have ongoing struggles with mental health and substance use. They feel guilty, ashamed, stressed out, damaged, alone, confused, emotionally numb, can’t sleep or concentrate, have racing thoughts, have mood swings and anger issues, worry constantly. Alcohol or other substances may have helped to a point, but also caused other difficulties. They ‘ve tried psych meds, therapy, substance rehab but nothing has really worked. They want their lives back but feel lost and out of control.

I provide outpatient therapy to help my clients identify and address those underlying causes, work with them on eight aspects of wellness, help them restore emotional and physical balance, and in the process help people regain their lives and experience a renewed sense of joy, inner peace, calmness, self-control, purpose, and meaning.

What do I do differently than others? First, I don’t focus on mental disorders. I focus on what’s happened to people, not what’s wrong with them. I also consider and help my clients explore other possible causes. I get feedback each session from my clients about how they’ve done over the past week, as well as how they think I’m helping them in each session and we track and work those results. The therapy I do is structured and we stay focused on clients’ initial problems. While we work together on new problems as they arise we also stay focused on those primary problem areas.

The majority of those I’ve worked with over the years have had significant improvement, many 30-points or more compared to their pre-therapy scores in as little as 10 sessions.

Thank you for all you are doing for me, on and off the table. It means a lot to me. Kelly S. [former client]

Thank you Ray for everything. You have helped me so much. Billie G. [former client]

Have some questions or want some help? Send me an email asking for a free consultation. Include your availability in the coming week and I’ll respond within 24-hours with a day and time that works for both of us.

Move Your AE

I help you take command of your career by showing you how to document and promote your full career value.

The “Æ” (pronounced “ash”) is the symbol that now represents the sum of your skills, talents, education, experiences, credentials and so much more about you. It represents your entire career value, not just a set of skills.

To get ahead in your job, or to get another job, you need to Know, Grow, and Show your career value, not just what is on a resume or your LinkedIn profile. Competition is tough out there, and without this knowledge, you will be left behind.

Buy “Move Your Æ (ash)” now on Amazon (paperback or Kindle):

http://bit.ly/MoveYourAshBook

Once you have started reading it (at least through Chapter 7), let’s connect and discuss. You will have a new view on your career at that point.
