Meet Catherine Hughes. Hailing from a small town southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dubbed "the most boring town in Pennsylvania," Catherine Hughes is the daughter of two English professors. She is a passionate advocate, innovative storyteller, and community strategist. For over seventeen years, she has provided comprehensive support and passionate advocacy to individuals and self-advocates, their families, and surrounding natural supports throughout their communities. She considers herself a servant leader, one who cultivates, develops and maintains relationships with grace and grit in order to create, enhance, and promote services and programs that transform lives. On a personal level, her calling (not a career) allows her to give back some of what has so graciously been given to her family. She proudly serves as the Director of Family Support and Community Engagement at Achieving True Self, servicing families across the Northeastern U.S. Within her own business as the founder and Chief Inspirational Officer at The Caffeinated Advocate, Catherine is an international best-selling author and/or editor of almost twenty books, a blogger, certified master life coach, trainer, and speaker. She also partners with Grace & Hope Consulting, serving as a life coach for caregivers and editor-in-chief for their hybrid publishing clients. Living with her in that "boring" (ok, it's not actually boring) town and very much not boring household are Mama Betty, Christian, and their pets Callie, Cookie, Candie, Hannah, Maddie and Raven the Cats -- yes six cats -- and the one and only Abby Dog. *** Connect with Catherine The Caffeinated Advocate: www.thecaffeinatedadvocate.com Amazon: www.amazon/com/author/hughescatherine Clubhouse: @chughescaffadv Facebook: @caffeinatedadvocate Instagram: @caffeinatedadvocate LinkedIn: @catherineahughes Pinterest: @caffeinatedadvocate TikTok: @caffeinatedadvocate YouTube: The Caffeinated Advocate

Throughout my personal and professional career, I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge, insight, and gratitude for what it takes to be successful by thinking outside the box. I realize the importance of teams and communication and why it is needed to succeed in a globalized workforce. We often see the world through our lens (eyes) base on our upbringing, knowledge gained, and experience. This, however, leaves an entire world of things we may never have thought of or seen. Building diversified teams that are engaging can open our horizons to new ideas, concepts, and solutions. After all, education is all about sharing knowledge and information with one another. Through the motto: “Life Aint Hard, It’s a Growth Perspective,” I develop inspirational leadership initiatives that focus on improving business operations. By creating intellectually stimulating environments, I strive to develop content and concepts that enhance knowledge, retention, and overall success. As a functional educator, I don’t focus solely on unnecessary information that goes in one ear and out the other. In other words, I try to bridge the gap outdated between theories and try to relate it to use in the real world based on personal experiences, current events, and other information. So, you’re probably wondering who the heck I am. Well, I’m originally from Upper Michigan, a born and raised Yooper (Say yah to da U.P., eh?), that went to college in lower Michigan at Ferris State University. From Ferris, I received my Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Systems Administration and a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Quality Improvement. My Doctorate (Ph.D.) is in Organizational Development and Leadership with a concentration in Risk Mitigation from Ashford University. I have over 15-year experience identifying, planning/consulting, and specializing in operations, leadership, systems, project management, and people. I believe education is a two-way street and something never-ending. Maybe it is just me, but I love to learn and would be a modern-day Van Wilder if I could. With over 15 years of experience in both private and public sectors, I ensure organizational success with a marked emphasis on: • Organizational Development and Leadership • Emotional Intelligence • Entrepreneurship • Strategic Planning • Innovation and Creative Change Management • Agile Project Management • Business and Personal Analysis • Goal Setting • Quality Improvement • Program & People Assessments • Organic and Inorganic Business Development • Program Creation, Implementation, & Support

Orianne Collins is a successful entrepreneur, professional speaker, jewelry designer, philanthropist and mother of three boys, two with music legend Phil Collins. Born and raised in Nyon, Switzerland, she obtained her master’s degree in International Management and started her career as the marketing and communication manager for a capital venture company before opening her own events and communications company, O-Com SA, in 1994. Following her passion, she founded OC Jewellery in 2007, creating hand-crafted pieces made in Switzerland, U.S. and Italy influenced by her heritage and travels around the world, studying various cultures and craftsmanship techniques. As a 3rd Dan black belt in mixed martial arts, she was participating in a martial arts exhibition in Paris against Jesse Glover, Bruce Lee’s first student in 2014, when she suffered a neck injury. After a seemingly straightforward operation, she woke up paralyzed from the neck down due to a medical error. She was told by her doctors she would never walk or design again, but not allowing this to be her fate, she fought to regain her ability day-by-day and step-by step. Only three years later, against all odds, she climbed one of the highest mountain ranges in Switzerland, the Breithorn, peaking at 13,661 feet. After her long path to recovery, Collins founded the Never Give Up Foundation in 2019 so others with spinal cord injuries could receive the care and support they need through their early days of life-changing treatments. She also co-founded the Little Dreams Foundation in 2000 with a mission to fulfill the dreams of young talented kids with limited financial means in the worlds of music, sports and art. Collins has received international recognition for her philanthropic work including the Global Gift Philanthropist Award at the VII Global Gift Gala in Paris in 2017. She’s also been recognized with several awards and accomplishments including being an honoree for The SFBW (South Florida Business & Wealth) Apogee Awards honoring C-Suite executives in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. She has been featured as a trailblazing female entrepreneur and philanthropist in Databird Business Journal, 201 Magazine, Billion Success and Enterprise League among several other media outlets. Collins wrote and published a book, “Les Arts Martiaux Aux Féminin,” where she shares how the discipline of martial arts can build a healthy, strong body and mind. After the obstacles that Collins overcome, she made it her purpose in life to encourage women through her professional speaking and writing to “Never Give Up,” no matter what happens in life. She wants to show women if they push themselves everyday, they can achieve whatever it is that they desire and they can do it looking and feeling beautiful. Today, OC Jewellery spans 16 collections ranging from luxury pieces to affordable staples. She has expanded into OC Home and OC Spa collections, with plans to launch OC Cosmetics
