President
Karleen Wagner
Are you Thriving or just Surviving? I believe we all deserve to live a vibrant life; what does that look like to you? If you're living in the past, dreading what will come, or just blindly living from day to day....let's talk. I empower others to take charge of their daily habits and thoughts to create the life they desire, not just the life that was given to them! I also believe that every woman should look and feel their best.
When this happens, you can show up as your best for your clients, family, and friends. Health is created from the inside out. I work with clients to create lifestyle changes in the foods that they eat and the products they use. Knowing what you are putting IN and ON your body is so important in maintaining health and preventing illness. I am also a speaker, podcast guest, and advocate of self-care and the link between Mind, Body, and Skin.

President-Elect
Lora Cheadle
An attorney, TEDx speaker, life and leadership coach, Lora Cheadle believes that betrayal uncovers the truth of what's possible when we stop focusing on what was done to us and start showing up for ourselves. Instead of soothing the symptoms of burnout, she shows professionals how to identify and resolve its root cause, which is oftentimes betrayal. Whether that betrayal is from a person, system, or something more personal, Lora shows individuals, teams, and groups how to break-free from burnout so they can stay engaged, innovative, and satisfied both at home and at work for the long-haul.
She is the creator of Life Choreography® burnout-recovery framework and leads Step into Your Moxy® corporate workshops and training that help participants speak up and advocate for themselves, their companies, and the ideas that matter most.
Lora also works with women who have been betrayed by their intimate partner and want to use their devastation as an invitation to reclaim their identity and self-worth so they can develop the clarity and confidence to build their own happily ever after.
She is the author of FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy and Spiritual Self, has spoken and trained internationally, and is the host of the top-rated podcast, FLAUNT! Create a Life You Love After Infidelity and Betrayal.

Having been someone who was frustrated with her life and work situation, she felt like she was in a rut with no way out.

Jessica is trained in the Cognitive Coaching method and previously coached elementary educators for 10 years. She has always been an avid learner of personal development and looks forward to using this learning to support other women, which makes her an effective life coach for women.

Jacqueline Green
Jacqueline Green is a seasoned commercial interior designer, former college instructor, and highly experienced marketing expert who identified a gap in the interior design industry.
After years in architectural firms, she noticed talented designers and architects grappling with various career and business challenges. Each organization had a specific pain point, whether it was lacking software expertise, struggling with marketing, or developing their staff.
Interestingly, Jacqueline spent over 20 years leading and training teams in large corporations and small businesses before attending design school. With a solid background in business and marketing, she realized she had a unique skill set that could help design firms overcome these pain points and fulfill their deep desire to make a difference and assist others.
In 2018, she founded an education and training company called Behind the Design to create a stronger design community. Today, Behind the Design provides interior designers and other creative business owners with the tools needed to build profitable businesses. Through comprehensive education, coaching, marketing, and community offerings, Jacqueline and her team empower designers to reach their full potential.
