Writing a Story with an Impact   Marie White is the author of five books, including the award-winning #1 bestseller Strength for Parents of Missing Children: Surviving Divorce, Abduction, Runaways and Foster Care. She is also a Christian missionary, traveler, entrepreneur and the host of Bible Stories for Adults on YouTube with over half a million views.   When Marie started writing books, she decided that as an author she would only spend what she made from her writing. That meant about a year of no income. Getting creative with funding meant taking on ghostwriting jobs, earning commissions on collaborative books, and blocking off time to take advantage of EVERY free-trial offer that applied to what she did. Pretty soon Marie was out-earning the people who had started with $30,000 in initial funding. Marie knew the products inside and out, became sought after for entrepreneurial advice and began being invited as a guest to high-dollar events.

She now works with overwhelmed executives to help them reconnect with their "wild" self - and the wild - so they can be the great leaders we need them to be.   Elizabeth has been "one of the (nice) guys" all her life, with four older brothers and becoming a leader in a male-dominated profession (urban forestry). Her business motto was "helping people and trees live together" - which for the past decade has become challenging and frankly, unfulfilling. Elizabeth recently realized that her superpower is working well with men, which has led me to work with (mainly male) executives who need to reclaim (or find) their "mojo" so they can be better leaders for themselves and the world around them.
