Over the next 40+ years, Art studied with the founders of NLP, received two empowerments from the Dalai Lama, worked...

Carol walked away from a 28-year career as Senior Vice President of Operations at Coldwell Banker, one of America's most prestigious real estate brands. Most people would coast into retirement from there. Not Carol. She reinvented herself as "America's LinkedIn Lady," producing over 650 radio shows and teaching thousands of...
