Rebecca Whitman: For over 20 years I've suffered from depression and anxiety, which in time led to morbid obesity and a house and mind full of a mountain of clutter. From the first week I could feel I had worth. This program covers so many things that can teach you how to balance your life with daily affirmations to help you realize you matter, it has taught me to make a schedule, make lists and find what works for me to get my life back to a daily normal. I know I can reach my goals and my fullest life on my terms.-Brenda

Stacie Shifflett, In 2012, a life-changing event propelled me forward on a personal journey of deep healing and self-discovery.  My goals?  To gain a better understanding of the human condition in general and, even more importantly, to determine how my mindset and beliefs, two things that profoundly affect every aspect of our lives, were influencing my life.  The life that I had known for the previous 28 years had been upended and I had two choices:  remain on auto-pilot and leave my future to chance or deliberately create a future I desired.  I chose the latter. Since that time, I’ve studied with many people on a wide range of topics, from traditional coaching to energetic healing, from neuroscience to spirituality.  This journey ignited a desire within me to create a better world one person at a time and, through a series of what I can only call Divine guidance and synchronicities, Modern Consciousness™ was born. What does this mean for you?  It means that I can help you gain an understanding of what you are creating and experiencing in your life and help you reclaim your balance, joy and peace of mind.  Deep reflection and honestly evaluating our inner world may not be easy, but I can tell you that the rewards are enormous.

As a nationally board certified Health & Wellness coach, I am passionate about helping my clients achieve a life of confidence, wellness, and success.  ​Simply put, my clients rock! They come from all walks of life, with diverse backgrounds and experiences, but they share a common desire: to improve their wellness and kick ass at life. ​I am known to gush & obsess over my clients & their transformations. It’s so exciting watching them excel both personally and professionally after working together.  I feel honored to be part of the journeys of hundreds of clients, but my greatest joy comes from witnessing their empowerment and success as they thrive on their own. ​The thing is, I was planning on doing coaching as a part time gig. After earning my BA in Psychology, I began a ‘practical’ master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology. After being bored to tears, I switched degrees to Integrative Wellness Coaching. ​I’m also certified in Integrative Wellness Coaching, Life & Success Coaching, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Clinical Hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). 

At the age of 23 Danielle was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery & told her to accept this life as her “new normal”.   Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong & she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to recover…and she did!  She is a testament to the concept of post traumatic growth and has since built an international business leading an organization that did $2.2 million in sales last year, authored an e-book called 'Mind Control: It's All In Your Head' and shares her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe.

 According to the The World Economic Forum, Emotional Intelligence is one of the top-ten, must-have job skills of the twenty-first century. And that doesn’t surprise me in the least. Here’s why…because the difference between success and failure as a leader often comes down to one’s ability to relate to people. It’s all about relationships. The lack of emotional intelligence is usually pretty easy to recognize. It’s the manager that throws a tantrum when things don’t go his way or is quick to throw one of his people under the bus in a meeting. It’s the coworker who shares way too much at the wrong time, it’s the leader who lacks empathy–asking you to sacrifice your family time, while he leaves early, and then claims the credit for your hard work. It’s anyone who lacks the ability to control their emotions and have empathy for others. You will recognize it pretty quickly with most people–and let’s hope that that person isn’t a key stakeholder in your life or work. Most people readily recognize people who have emotional intelligence in abundance. They are authentic, they are usually good listeners, and they attract people to them–you just want to be around them because they bring out the best in others. They’re safe. Our Guest To unpack the value of emotional intelligence, our guest today is Phil Johnson. Phil is an author and the creator of the Master of Business Leadership program which focuses on emotional intelligence. For the past 22 years, Phil has been an executive coach assisting executives and organizations to bet on themselves by developing better leaders and stronger teams with EQ.

HOWARD KAPLAN, a native of Los Angeles, has lived in Israel and traveled extensively through Lebanon, Syria and Egypt. At the age of 21, he was sent on a mission into the Soviet Union to smuggle a dissident's manuscript on microfilm to London. His first trip was a success. On his second trip, he transferred a manuscript to the Dutch Ambassador inside his Moscow embassy. A week later, he was arrested in Khartiv in the Ukraine and interrogated for two days there and then two days in Moscow, before being expelled from the USSR. The KGB had picked him up for meeting dissidents and did not know about the manuscript transfers. He holds a BA in Middle East History from UC Berkeley and an MA in Philosophy of Education from UCLA. He is the author of five novels. DAMASCUS COVER is now a major motion picture starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Sir John Hurt and Olivia Thirlby.
