“The “Empowerment to Change” conference was not only beneficial to me in regards to my clientele, but in my own personal life as well. You can use the tools learned in every aspect of your life, financial, personal, and spiritual. It was quite an eye opener and was like a breath of fresh air, it made me excited to return to work to try the tools learned at work. I would highly recommend this workshop.” - Tanya S. –

“….we felt that your program dealt with the issues in a very refreshing way. The Money Management Tool Kit was the best part of the training. It gave the participants a way of monitoring their spending on a day to day basis that was professional, effective, and fun. It allowed for the daily recording of our spending so that at the end of the day, week, month, or year, we would be able to categorize our spending and make more accurate assessments and adjustments to our revealed spending habits. The goal and visioning aspect of the program gave us more incentive to save, as we each prepared a viable pictorial of our goals; be it a vacation trip, weight loss, a home, a car, etc. The process of developing a visioning board gave into our passion for completing our goal. I would recommend the “Stepping Up Together” program to anyone who is truly seeking a way of obtaining their dream. We would like to thank Velda Williams and Grace Marks for an exciting journey.
