Like the Titanic, venture failure is nearly always the result of a series of errors that are not obvious—problems that lurk beneath the surface—that are a consequence of navigating uncertainty in the early stages of development. Authors of The Titanic Effect: Successfully Navigating the Uncertainties that Sink Most Startups, speakers and business professors Dr. Todd Saxton and Dr. Kim Saxton will draw on lessons learned from the Titanic, as well as case studies of failed and successful startups, to show your audience similar patterns for entrepreneurial ventures. For instance, they will demonstrate how hidden debts accumulated early in the life of even the most promising startup can subsequently sink them. They will help startups as well as their investors navigate the uncertainties they will face, and improve their odds of success.

Faith is at the foundation of all I do, and my life is a testimony in itself… There are some who’ve always known what they wanted to be when they grew up…that wasn’t me! What I knew for sure is I wanted my life to be impactful through service, the kind that would span generations. My passion is to impact the community through what I do and how I’ve been blessed to share my gifts, i.e. empowering women business professionals and their businesses through personal branding and marketing, leading each to see how they can achieve their goals along with a level of financial fitness which gives us all that we desire = Options (Freedom). My journey as a young single mother has taught me that ‘courage goes where confidence dares not,’ and that path has brought me to this point in my life where my goal is to enable others to rise above any obstacles they may be faced with on the way to their goals. As the CEO (Confident Executive Officer) of Confident Closers Branding & Consulting Agency, our mission is to lower the number of women who reach almost to the end of their lives regretting the things they never accomplished because of fear and lack of community to encourage and empower one another. There’s a certain fulfillment that comes with serving others, and for me, this is the pathway to real significance. My purpose is to share my passion for Personal Branding and to create a tribe of women who resonate with these values. I’m a creative who pays special attention to detail and yet I’m a visionary thinker who’s always able to plan ahead with innovation. These qualities help to set me apart and bring both worlds together. I started off by saying, Faith is at the foundation of all that I do and my life is a testimony in itself, and well, all our lives are… What will yours be? I’m proud to have been selected as a Women with Vision for 2019 by 20/20 Vision for Success Consulting. I love my clients. I love being a leader/mentor. I love my mentors. And I am blessed to do what I love!

I help create more enjoyable, more valuable and more profitable businesses. Understanding what makes individuals tick and organisations work is at the heart of what I do on a daily basis. With experience across SMEs and Bluechips I have worked in a number of environments and seen the impact that taking (or not taking) a people-centric view can have on the business; in terms of both profitability and more importantly culture. The 9-5 is a thing of the past with more people looking to work with businesses that echo their views and beliefs. As business leaders we can create unique organisations that support our teams and provide them with a rewarding career to ensure work is not a chore. I take a serious subject that is often overlooked or ignored and relate it to everyday businesses in a humorous and engaging fashion.

Entering the work force at 13, I learned the qualities of hard and honest work ethic at a young age. Holding jobs that ranged from the food service, retail, automotive, sales, construction, and even entrepreneurship. I have successfully launched 3 separate business in different industries. From my vast experience in multiple fields, I have gained the foundation of how to get results. Jokingly coining myself as “The Solutionizer” I believe in the motto that “everything is figure-out-able”. This has created a reputation for my unique out of the box solutions to most obstacles.
