Tuesday, July 8, 2008 - Proud Mary (Grace)
Purpose and play. To many, these two words may appear completely unconnected, but spend even a little time with Grace Cangemi, and you will find they mesh together perfectly.
Though an only child, and the center of her parents' world, Grace's own focus has always leaned towards serving others. Far from being a martyr, she consistently finds a way to keep fun in as an integral part of the picture.
Whether it's helping clients get the best mortgage deal, putting together a series of concert events that collects over 80,000 toys for young victims of Hurricane Katrina, or battling to preserve the character of the town in which she lives, Grace maintains a shimmer about her because she is doing things that feed her soul and fascinate her mind.
Listen in and learn how to shine your own light.

For more than 30 years, Patricia and Kurt Wright have pursued the question “What are we like at our vey best?” This question led to their study and work with visionary leaders, individual outstanding performers, and high performance teams.

We create surplus energy whenever we ask right questions. This energy, combined with the insights that produced it, can be used to build our self-esteem and put our life on a roll. Right questions will also energize the Law of Attraction and make it come alive in your life.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 - Curiouser & Curiouser
What are the questions, and who has the answers? This query had governed Janet Wigfield's career from the start. The former English teacher and video producer now puts her inquisitive nature to work as Vice President of Content for Working Mother Media/Diversity Best Practices (owner of Working Mother Magazine, and the national Association of Female Executives).
These days it is her mission to decide upon the topic(s) for conferences and events nationwide. The audiences are different every time, and by never making assumptions about what this or that industry/demographic will want, Janet is able to keep every event ever-evolving and ever-fresh.
Join Bruce and Deb as they sit down with Janet to discuss her successes, her challenges, and the lessons she has learned from both along the way there.
Retraction:
We would like to apologize to our readers for a misprint which appeared on our website from August 21st to September 4. The announcement, advising of an upcoming E-Factor interview with Janet Wigfield of Working Mother Media, inadvertently included a misstatement that Working Mother Media also owned the “National Association of Working Mothers.” The correct statement should have read that "Working Mother Media owns the National Association for Female Executives." The National Association of Working Mothers, a not for profit organization founded by Netherland Washington, is not affiliated with Working Mother Media or the National Association for Female Executives. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Meira Findel (a.k.a. The Holistic Accountant) sees the various challenges so many of us face today with money, and she's made it her mission to revolutionize the way we all think about abundance, prosperity, and wealth. She aims to liberate people from "old world" thinking.
As a professional services provider, former CFO of a large mortgage business, and founder of the CHAI Center for Holistic Awareness and Integration, Meira realized through her work with many diverse clients that "financial independence" is about much more than the proper handling of financial matters.
Meira and Luke sit down to discuss how you can uncover a world where you are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually free to create your own long term financial independence, and finally break free from the tyranny of a widespread poverty consciouness.

For Lizabeth Phelps, the path to her current success has been windy, challenging and thrilling. Ten years ago, she was a stay-at-home mom with aspirations of being a bestselling novelist, but things changed suddenly when, after reading one book in 6 days, she left behind a “good enough” marriage, and set out to change the world.
Now, as president of Inspired Leadership Training, a consulting and training firm specializing in brain-based communications, she's doing just that. Based on the latest neuroscience, Lizabeth leads her highly popular public speaking trainings that teach a “new model” of speaking - one which goes far beyond typical “platform skills”, and into an advanced skill set for becoming a “teacher” and powerful “influencer”.
Lizabeth joins her good friend, Bruce Schneider, to discuss her success journey, why this is a pivotal time in history for all of us; and why she encourages everyone to "leave the pack" for unprecedented personal and professional success.
