Where the Passion Begins

CO-FOUNDER
Kermit Spears, MBA, CPC
I believe we are all unique and possess the ability and/or power to "show up" as we choose. We can choose to continue to grow and increase our influence as long as we are on our journey. The choice is ours to completely embrace our unique self. My goal is to help the world become their best self through coaching, consulting, and mentoring.
