2012 Get Radical Conference Experience

On March 30^th thru April 1^st, 2012, several hundred women gathered together at the Hyatt Regency in Reston Virginia for the 4^th Annual Get Radical Conference. It was presented by Radical Success Coach, Doreen Rainey and attended by women of all ages, from all walks of life, hailing from all over the world. The keynote speakers included, Doreen Rainey, Suze Orman, Jillian Michaels, Monique Greenwood, Ali Brown, Christine Jones and Lisa Nichols. The entire event was amazing from start to finish and I am proud to announce that I won the 2012 Radical Woman Award!

This honor means so much to me because I have been recognized by successful women that I personally admire just for being my authentic self and having the tenacity to pursue my dreams. It is the sweetest pat on the back that makes the hard times all worthwhile. Winning this confirms for me that I am headed in the right direction and it is a source of motivation for me to continue moving forward in the most radical way. I am truly humbled and grateful for this honor.

There were so many pearls of wisdom that were shared by the speakers at the conference that enriched my life. I have pages of notes and even now my heart is still overflowing from the loving energy that permeated the conference all weekend. When women come together on one accord n the spirit of sisterhood and set the intention to create a radical transformative experience, it is a powerful thing! I highly recommend attending this conference in 2013 to any woman that is serious about moving to the next level in her life and wants to surround herself with like minded women and leaders who can guide her along the way.

There were so many take a ways of truth spoken that resonated for me that have literally changed my life. Below is just a few of the nuggets that were shared in the general sessions. I hope that you will be inspired to Get Radical about your own success in a bold and courageous way and I look forward to seeing you at the conference in March 2013! www.getradicalconference.com

Doreen Rainey- Radical Success Coach (pictured with me above)

“Stop whining and looking over the fence at what other people are doing. Put your focus on what you DO have and what DOES work and work that. If you don’t like something, do something about it or decide not to. If you decide not to, then you have the LOST the right to complain about it. “

Monique Greenwood-former Editor-in-chief of Essence Magazine and author of Having What Matters

“Do the work that honors you and fulfills you. Success is subjective so define success on your own terms. When you have financial freedom, you have true freedom.” (pictured with me to the right)

Ali Brown– Entrepreneur Business Coach (As seen on ABC’s Secret Millionaire)

“These days, SAFE is the new RISK! You may never feel totally ready to start your business venture but if you take the first step, things will begin to happen. Start with a passion for your business and figure out how to turn that into a profit. Your business needs to make money or your dreams will fail.”

Suze Orman– Internationally acclaimed personal finance expert

“You will never be powerful in life until you are powerful OVER your own money. You are the obstacle for not being where you want to be in life. Power attracts money, powerlessness repels it. Debt is Bondage!”

Jillian Michaels– Top Fitness Trainer, Health & Wellness Expert (As seen on the Biggest Loser)

“Have patience and trust that life is always preparing you for the right time. Don’t be impulsive. Live in the pause. You can always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow. (Quoted from Warren Buffet) “Never give up, be the last man standing.”

Lisa Nichols– Breakthrough Specialist (As seen in “The Secret”)

“Live a breathtaking life. Serve others from your overflow so you do not get depleted. Give from your saucer, not your cup. Align your life so that the tongue in your mouth and the tongue in your shoe are not going in two different directions! Yes, YES!!!”
