Insights into Cultural Understanding
And Being Positively PowerfulTime for a transformation? Here’s where to start.
WHAT DO YOU DO IN STEP ONE? If you're an individual, you complete a Personal Assessment. Suppose you're the leader of an organization. In that case, you hire someone who's got the experience to do a needs analysis or a culture scan with and for you.
The power of purpose is to live a meaningful existence.
Regardless of what it is that you do, like a job, like "the who, what, and where of it,"... the "why" of it will have you touching on your purpose. You are ‘here,’ being who you are for some reason. Some legacy, some unique heartfelt mission, that you are following.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and burnt out?
I’ve talked with several women in business who have experienced stress, burnout, and frustration. I’ve overcome similar situations myself. Because I’ve seen – and learned – how to address these challenges

To promise your audience that they will be transformed by the renewing of their mind by you is a huge promise. If I am speaking to you, and in your heart of hearts, you know this is exactly what you want to deliver to your clients and audiences, it can happen. Just because you say it’s so, however, doesn’t make it so and saying the word doesn’t make it true. It is not wishful thinking or a smart copy point in my work. It is something that can be learned.

What stops us from being kind?
We don’t need to have a lot of money to be kind. Regardless of how much we know, who we know, how old we are, where we live, we can be kind. Being kind makes us beautiful. Kindness is being caring, warm, and giving to others.

In a boarder sense, Nichol Luoma is also a “sustaining” family member and community leader.

Stephanie had the concept and vision in mind, now her focus was on making it a reality.
