New brain research is finally catching up with what ancient spiritual teachers have taught for centuries:

WE ARE ONLY LIMITED BY OUR BELIEFS AND INTENTIONS.

Born into a family of intuitive celtic women, she inherited many intuitive gifts demonstrated through her abilities as medical and intuitive sensitive. Her grandmother encouraged the development of her rational mind through advanced education to gain credibility of her intuitive skills. Her life and teaching philosophy integrates this intuitive/rational balance. She has inspired

thousands of people to seek the intuitive within them to find guidance and

wisdom in their own lives. Her intuitive seminars provide skills that

support people to gain the confidence to trust themselves as they unfold

their own unique intuitive expression.

Her career path has reflects a passion for the human potential fields as a executive coach, college professor, administrator and consultant/liaison in the human resources arena of the corporate and public sectors. She is a licensed Califo ia psychotherapist and hypnotherapist.

Many people have acted as mentors and guides along the way. She spent the most time with Native American teachers while still working in a career and developing seminars and programs that reflected the philosophy she gained on her journey -bridging the two worlds. The most important message gained from these experiences is that human evolvement is a choice. Our intention to change and grow is paramount to success and happiness. Integration and balance is the pathway to empowerment. Integration provides a gateway which allows access to the priceless gifts of self-knowledge, intelligence and creativity.

Our world is in a state of unprecedented change and transformation. Old worn out concepts of leadership and life skills are no longer valid for the times and challenging conditions that confront our lives. A major change is upon us. Many corporations, public sector and individuals know change is the only

way to meet this challenge. They are reaching out for education through coaching and training from experts that can accelerate the process of change. Her clients list includes individual, corporations, national and international industry leaders, CEO's and people from all walks of life One character trait that they share in common is their intention to continue the transformation process each day.

All of them agree, human resource is our most valuable asset.

When we make a commitment to expand and grown in our lives, there isn’t a blueprint to guide us into an expansion of consciousness in our daily lives. I have taught people to increase efficiency and serenity in their daily lives by using the philosophy of investment. If we are to increase our financial worth, we must be willing to adopt a plan that will move us gradually toward our financial goals. So it is with our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. Through daily investment in self-care, our lives gradually begin to expand in all areas.

Many of my clients have asked me to put together a short outline of marketing strategies that have been taken from my workshops and seminars. I feel that it is important to note that the following plan of action needs consistency in application to move forward in your production goals. Although I will not cover it here, a business plan, mission statement, objective and action plan at the beginning of the year is essential to keep you focused and on track. If you don’t define where you are going, it’s difficult to reach your destination.

Excerpt from Dr. Jo Anne Bishop’s upcoming new book, “You Can Do It: Transform Fear Into Creativity” We all experience fear in some form every day, whether we want that fear or not. Fear is an ancient body sensation that compels and drives us toward survival through a fight or flight response. This response floods the body with chemicals that promote action. Fear is generated from what is called the old brain or the limbic brain system. This system is experienced by the right side of our brains.
