Douglass spent the last five years leading executive communications at Mastercard, where he worked very closely with the CEO and other C-Suite executives. Before joining Mastercard, Douglass worked in Washington, DC for 20 years – mostly on Capitol Hill. Immediately prior to Mastercard, Dougalss was Senior Advisor and Speechwriter to U.S. Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine. While at Mastercard, Douglass worked on CEO speeches, keynotes, and fireside chats that were given at places ranging from the World Economic Forum at Davos, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the China Development Forum in Beijing, as well as many top business schools, including those at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and New York University. Douglass left Mastercard earlier this year to pursue his obsession with the power of storytelling to differentiate brands and create competitive advantage. That obsession was born out of nearly two years of providing global storytelling workshops at Mastercard. It’s an obsession that has since taken the form of a company he founded – communicate4IMPACT, which specializes in storytelling training. Douglass was recently selected to join a roster of speakers for the virtual presentation company, Geniecast.com – a roster that includes business icons like Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple. With the advent of 5G (the next generation of wireless) and the Internet of Things, Douglass believes storytelling represents an even greater competitive advantage, not only when it comes to messaging that cuts through but also when it comes to putting the user experience at the center of product innovation and development.

With a wide range of expertise, supported by 20 years of combined experience, Dr. Pinckney developed a series of individual and community tools. She is a criminologist and criminal justice expert available for expert witness services.

Recognizing the importance of saying, "I AM MORE," Dr. Pinckney registered the trademark. A dedicated professional, she is also an expert in fraud investigation, forensic accounting, and financial crime. Addressing issues of racial, socioeconomic, and gender disparities is a major part of Dr. Pinckney's life and career. Her dissertation, Children present on the scene upon police arrival at an intimate partner violence incident: Race, police action, and officer-initiated social support, examined whether the needs of children exposed to IPV and the race of a couple factor into an officer's decisions as to whether to take law enforcement action (arrest or issue a citation) and initiate social support for the exposed child and victim-partner. Dr. Pinckney is the Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Criminal Justice Programs at Anna Maria College. She works at her family church (founded by her father and mother) in Newark, NJ as the Assistant Director of Victims, Offenders, HIV/AIDS, and Addiction Support. Dr. Pinckney works with educators, clergy, and community leaders to help educate, advocate, and bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community.

I talk goofy for a living... Seriously. I have been an actor and voice actor for over 30 years now and have spoken (in multiple voices) to thousands of people, many companies, and even adoring fans, around the globe for over 30 years. As a speaker, I have shared stages with Les Brown, Kevin Harrington, and even Colin Farrell. In the entertainment world, I have worked in films, having scenes with 4 Academy Award nominees, (two winners). As an internationally award winning voice actor, I have been the voice of some of the most iconic voices in Japanese Anime dubs such as Evangelion, Bleach, and Code Geass, and in video games such as League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and many more. I am a Master Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Coach, a certified BANKCODE Personality Sales Trainer, have a Baccalaureate Degree in the Honors Program from the University of Houston majoring in Drama, and I smell terrific. I played tennis competitively as a youngin and through High School, was a cheerleader, and had a short stint as a break dancer. I have authored 3 books (one was an Amazon Best Seller), trained as a chef, delivered my second baby in a bathtub in Australia, traveled the world, and even had my head shaved by a Buddhist monk at a monastery in Mt. Koya, Japan. I can be heard on my Mindscrambler Podcast. I am also a real estate entrepreneur. I started flipping houses in Houston for 10 years. Then everything came crashing down in 2005. I have survived divorce, bankruptcy, betrayal, multiple deaths in the family, back surgery, suicidal ideations, unplanned relocations, and general all encompassing fear and loneliness. All in about a 2 year period. Buuuut.... (In best Monty Python style.) "I got better." I built myself back up from the absolute deepest darkest most unspelunkerable depths of my soul at about a foot and a half past rock bottom. Shared my journey with thousands, speaking on self improvement, dating and relationships. Found my perfect soulmate, married, had my first child at 48 (you can watch the journey on Netflix's "Being Dad"). We are both coaches, (she's way better than me, BTW), and we travel the world together, speaking and coaching. We have a beautiful home in Texas with goats, donkeys, and chickens. And I am becoming quite the homesteading gardener for my farm to table creations. I look forward to WOWing you and your audiences with ACTIONABLE information, laughter, and inspiration. All in various voices, of course.
