May 14th Show Information

We are so excited for today's show. Our first guest, Sally Hazelgrove is the personification of what we look for in a guest for this show! Someone who has truly made a positive difference in the world-especially here in Chicago!!

Sally started out volunteering 10 years ago at "The Evening Reporting Center", a facility that served as an alternative to detention. Sally soon became a familiar face at the courts. Known as the pregnant lady that came to testify on behalf of the boys from Englewood.

She soon had a reputation in the HOOD as someone who was "Real". Sally paid money out of her own pocket to provide job training for her boys and even allowed a few of them to stay with her and her husband when they were on house arrest.

Her commitment made an impression and the boys started opening up. The stories they shared broke her heart and she became resolved to make a difference in Englewood. She became a resource provider for DCFS, where she worked with schools to develop behavior strategies for youth at risk who were abused, suspended or a threat to others.

She quickly figured out how to change behavior in the classroom but knew that the bigger and more deadly problem was the risky behavior students were involved with in the streets. Knowing that's where the difference was really needed Sally set out to "Find A Light" that is brighter then the streets! She found that BOXING was the one sport that boys most wanted access to.

She learned to BOX and then started a "Boxing Program". The program recruits youth from the streets, and pulls in the most defiant and troublesome boys from local elementary schools. Her goal was to get them back to the life she believed GOD had originally intended for them. She named the organization "Restoring The Path"

To get involved or to donate contact Sally at shazelgrove7@gmail.com or 312-221-0289. To find out more about Restoring the Path-visit the website www.restoringthepath.org

On our 2nd half we welcome Sarah Miller Caldecott, Founder of The Power PatternsTM of Innovation

A great grandniece of Thomas Edison and his second wife Mina Miller Edison, Sarah Miller Caldicott has been surrounded by creativity and innovation throughout her life.  When she was seven years old, Sarah learned of her unique relationship to her great aunt Mina Miller, and Mina's world-famous husband, Thomas Edison.  Curious about why the Edison phonograph and cylindrical records in her home worked so differently from the small plastic record player that spun 45's and wax LP's, she wondered, "How did they get this way?"

Co-author of a groundbreaking book on Thomas Edison's innovation best practices, entitled Innovate Like Edison: The Success System of America's Greatest Inventor, Sarah speaks to audiences across the country, and leads executive seminars on how to embed Edison's Five Competencies of Innovation in their organizations.  These competencies propelled Edison to generate a record-breaking 1,093 US patents and 1,293 international patents over 62 successive years.

Sarah also shares with leaders how they can use Edison's time-tested methods to create innovation literacy in their organizations, as well as develop corporate innovation infrastructure to propel them toward innovation success.  She advises executives and business owners on how to design teams for maximum innovation impact, "re-wire" their cultures to create a 21st century innovation powerhouse, and hire collaborative employees that will thrive in an innovation-driven culture.  Working with the Edison Innovation Literacy Blueprint, Sarah helps each firm build competitive advantage while also creating its own signature innovation style.

Sarah is a dynamic and award-winning speaker whose engaging style combines substantive business content with humor. Her invaluable experience offers an ideal resource for organizations seeking innovation success in today's rapidly integrating global marketplace.

March 19th show featuring Highland Park City Council Candidate Alyssa Knobel and Vanda Teixeira, CEO and founder of Vanda Connect

We have two very dynamic women on our show today!

First up-We welcome Highland Park City Council Candidate Alyssa Knobel. If you want to get something done-Alyssa is your gal!

A 15 year resident, parent, and community advocate, Alyssa has always been committed to finding solutions to a myriad of issues within her community of Highland Park.

She currently serves as the Chair of Highland Park's Business and Economic Development Commission as well as various City boards and committees. Additionally, she has always been active with our city, schools and park district as well as numerous civic and charitable organizations.

She served as an aide to Illinois State Rep, Karen Mary and has managed her own marketing consultancy.

We are going to chat with her about the upcoming local election and how she plans to make a difference on the Highland Park City Council.

For more information about Alyssa, please visit www.freindsofalyssaknobel.com

Our second half welcomes Vanda Teixeira Founder and CEO of Vanda ConnectTM, The To Be A Woman Global PlatformTM for women's empowerment, The C.A.R.E.TM Program promoting inner healing, and The Magic RibbonTM, an international campaign to empower and feed the women and children of the world which now serves 57 countries.

Originally from South Africa and of Portuguese descent, she was South Africa's Top Portuguese Designer at the age of just 22.  She was given the Young Entrepreneur's Award by The Women's League in South Africa, and was recognized for taking the pageantry of the Miss Portugal show to an international level.  Vanda was the face for a cosmetic house and creator of a skin care line before coming to the United States in 2000.

She moved to Atlanta, Georgia where she became a powerhouse in the financial world and now sits on the board of a boutique investment firm as an award-winning Senior Marketing and Financial Advisor.  She was nominated for Top Business Woman in Atlanta.

Having maintained a South African headquarters, in August of 2009 she was featured and nominated for Most Influential Woman in Business and Government in South Africa.  As a result of this honor, she went on a 3-city tour of Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban as a featured keynote speaker to the country's most influential women in business and government.

Vanda is, first and foremost, a visionary coach and intuitive healer with a large personal, international following for her innovative approach to support inner awakening and transformation. She has authored, "To Be A Woman: 31 Essences to Honor Yourself," and will soon be releasing "The New Psychology of Money."

With her Magic RibbonTM campaign Vanda started her mission to feed the children of the world, and discovered that by empowering people--women especially--even more help would come to the children from so many more empowered people.

Her philosophy is based on her words:

"A new era has begun, an era of honoring your own truth and emotions to get what you do want, instead of attracting subconsciously what you don't want. This is the Law of Attraction working at its best.  I am a stickler for Honor & Truth. I have codes within me that are sacred, I fight and play to win and love. It's the Wake Up moment in others' Lights that keeps me going. My belief system supported my being a strong entrepreneur, so I became one! In business, I am a doer; I get it done, on whatever I set my focus. 

With this I have just begun a journey to contribute to a cause that involves us together and is far greater than you or I can imagine."
