Ask and You Shall Succeed

In our crazy-busy world, women often think they
must have it all and do it all, but that's just not possible! If you're going to stand a chance at discovering life-work balance while you grow your careers and families, you must learn how to effectively ASK for what you need to be successful. In this hilarious and heart-warming keynote, Colette reveals the power of Speaking Your Truth to get what you want.

WAITING FOR SUPERMAN
From Paramount Vantage comes an Electric Kinney Films production of a film by Academy AwardŽ winning director Davis Guggenheim, WAITING FOR "SUPERMAN". The film is a deep personal exploration of the current state of public education in the U.S. and how it is affecting our children.

Waiting For "Superman" will open in select theaters only.    The website, trailer, and more information can be viewed by following the link below.  We all have heard that "education is the key to our kids future", let's stand up and do something about education.  Our kids deserve more, better.  Our kids deserve an education.
