Guest Occupation: ANNA DEETER, Etalon Unblocking Master
Guest Biography:

ANNA DEETER, M.A., Etalon Unblocking Master, Speech Educator, Author, Public Speaker, Founder, Director and Instructor of Speech Academie Etalon International 

ANNA DEETER, Founder of Speech Academie Etalon International By R.A. Snezhko, English-language Division, has more than 30 years of experience as a conventional Speech Therapist in Russia and as a fully credentialed Speech-Language-Hearing-Rehabilitative Service Teacher in the U.S.A. During this time, Ms. Deeter conventionally treated numerous people who “stuttered”, “stammered” and “cluttered”, all of which are medical terms that Anna strongly opposes today.

As will all traditional speech clinicians throughout the world, Anna practiced conventional therapeutic work, but was not satisfied with the results.  She began a journey to find the answer to “why” these traditional medical approaches and treatment methods, used for over hundred years, are essentially “ineffective” for stuttering.  Anna discovered that such traditional medical approaches lacked clear understanding of cause, mechanism and of ways to rid people of stuttering. In addition, they virtually never guaranteed a 100% successful outcome at the present moment. Anna’s professional curiosity and passionate desire to find a reliable solution for solving a “stuttering puzzle” made her look outside of the traditional approach. It was at that time Ms. Deeter found the “truths” of what the “source” behind stuttering actually is!

Since 2012, Anna has shared her knowledge with thousands of Individuals who “stutter”, “stammer”, “clutter” and “mumble”, all of which are caused by individual mental blocks that make people perform unnatural speech actions. Anna has personally educated hundreds of students with various levels of Speech Mastery. Whether these students spoke English as their primary or secondary language, all of them learned under her guidance the information about natural speech norms/etalons. They implemented her “Etalon” teachings and unblocked the connection between their “body, mind and will”. Through the “Etalon” Speech Unblocking Course, these students experienced a 100% revival of their following normal functions: Speech, thinking, memory and attention.

As a Health Coach, I am your personal advocate for living an energized and passionate life. I work with my clients to help them create happy, healthy lives in a way that is flexible, fun, and free of denial and discipline. By working together, we can discover the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. Making gradual, lifelong changes enables you to reach your current and future health goals.

Health Coaches are knowledgeable advisors who provide ongoing support and guidance as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and happiness. As your Health Coach, I will listen carefully and help you to navigate the world of contradictory nutrition advice to determine what changes are necessary for you.

Grief Counseling
Recovery from loss is accomplished by discovering and completing all of the undelivered communications that accrue in relationships. We are often advised to “Let Go,” and “Move On” after losses of all kinds. Most of us would do that if we knew how.

Completion of pain caused by loss is what allows us to let go and move on. It is almost impossible to move on without first taking a series of actions that lead to completion.

Before taking the actions to complete, it is important to look and often dismiss some of the ideas or myths that we have tried to use with loss, but which are not working.

Biological Decoding:
The missing link? Biological Decoding: Are you ready to let go of your dis-ease?

How closely are the diseases we attract and our emotions linked together? “Modern” medicine has dismissed this idea and supports the premise that we are merely mechanical objects in bodies and need to be addressed on this “repair” level—almost as if a mechanic would address the slipping transmission of a car.  Yet, if this hypothesis was truly sound, once a condition was “cured” or “fixed” or “free” from our body, why would it return? Or why would we go on to manifest another disease, condition or more serious ailment or illness, somehow related to the first? Disease is an unnatural unbalanced state. We are more than a physical body. We are mind, body and spirit manifest as matter, and therefore must address healing and wellness from a broader view which includes mind, body and spiritual awareness beginning with ourselves and with our intention. Do we want to get well or do we simply want relief?

The biggest secret is you have to be ready and ask for help. Each individual must be willing and ready to let his or her universe of stored beliefs and emotions go, or the disease will remain. The reason is simple: “the disease is the perfect biological solution to the conflict and also the undercover message to the patient that he is suffering such a conflict. If the conflict is still latent, the disease will be present. So, Biological decoding seeks to comprehend the relation of emotions and beliefs with the psyche, the brain, the body and the spirit; hidden away from the one participating—you.

Guest Occupation: William Michael Forbes, Spiritual Medium, Channel and intuitive life coach
Guest Biography:

William Michael Forbes, is a Spiritual Medium, Channel, and
Intuitive Life Coach.

William Michael has been coaching people for over 30 years, yet something happened a little over a year ago that opened him up to the Divine, energy beings that exist outside of our normal range of perception, we do not see them or hear them until we discover how to tap into them. This gave William the ability to guide others with their inquires and to facilitate in developing their abilities to connect with non-physical, high vibrational beings.

He feels honored to be able to connect others to their passed loved ones, Guardian Angels, and receive guidance from ascended masters and other multidimensional beings.

"I did, in fact, have an experience over 40 years ago where I heard an invisible voice; I was standing on a bridge, 131 feet up from the ground, about to jump. And the last tearful thought I had as I climbed up onto the ledge was, “If there is anyone that can help me, do it now”, and at that moment poised on the edge I heard a strong and very calm voice, say; “Do not jump, get down off the bridge, then go to the payphone on the corner and call this number xxx number and ask for…Terry O’Brien.

- Now I can imagine that you might be thinking how unusual that was, but at that time I was in such an emotionally messed up place, that after looking briefly around to try to find who spoke to me and I did not see anyone, I just decided to go to the payphone, call the number the voice gave me and ask for that man, who graciously invited me into his home to live with his family and he became my first real mentor.

I now know that it was my guardian angel John who spoke to me on that bridge 40 years ago. I know now with absolute certainty we are never alone!"

There is always someone with us, waiting for us to ask question and open up our ears and eyes to receive the much-needed guidance and support that this world cannot always provide. There are realms of knowledge, energy, and consciousness that are available to everyone who has the willingness to explore beyond what they know. I am honored to be able to share my knowledge and experience with anyone embarking on the sacred journey to explore, create and manifest a life created from love. If you are questioning the validity of the Unseen World I encourage you to explore further, for what your eyes see and your ears hear are but a tiny part of the great and wonderful mystery of your being.

Guest Occupation: Psychic
Guest Biography:

About Sandy Anastasi

"My vision is to help each man, woman and child connect with their inherent psychic ability. I believe that each person has the potential to tap into their abilities and access them to empower their life and reach their full potential. - Sandy Anastasi"

Like many who realize their psychic gifts later in life, Sandy Anastasi awakened to her abilities in her late 20’s. She understood that many people develop deep psychological problems because their psychic abilities are misunderstood and often blocked. These insights and an inner need to pass on her knowledge and abilities led her to begin teaching others to develop their own psychic gifts. She believes that if you are psychic, you MUST use your gifts, or at least learn to control them, or they will use you!

Major Media Appearances

Sandy has appeared on national TV along side friend, colleague, and former student John Edward.

Sandy has many psychic gifts, but she believes her greatest to be the ability to identify and emulate the gifts of others. Because of that she is uniquely suited to teach people to open and develop those very gifts in themselves.

Sandy has been a professional psychic and astrologer since 1979. She holds a B.S. degree from Adelphi University and has teaching certifications in several fields. In addition to teaching, Sandy has worked as a Safety Engineer, and owned her own small book store for many years before retiring to become a full time psychic counselor, writer and teacher. Sandy’s writings include books on Astrology, Kabbala, and Tarot, as well as psychic development.

Internationally-renowned psychic channel Sandy Anastasi has established herself as one of the preeminent teachers of our time. With more than 30 years of experience, Sandy is a leading expert in Psychic Development, Astrology and Tarot. Through Sandy’s classes, workshops, lectures and appearances, she is able to share her knowledge to help people enhance their lives.

Sandy was a significant contributor to psychic medium John Edward’s Web site, InfiniteQuest.Com, which launched June 12th, 2009, and provided valuable insight alongside some of the nation’s top metaphysical teachers for three years.

Guest Occupation: Owner/Instructor of the School of Holistic Massage & Reflexology
Guest Biography:

Owner/Instructor of the School of Holistic Massage & Reflexology and was inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame on August 8, 2016.

I started in Massage and Reflexology industry at 35 years old. I was a single dad of 2 and worked a 12 hour shift in the printing industry working 4 days on 3 days off. I was burnt out. However, I knew my calling was to help people. I heard about reflexology and felt it was my calling. My wife Star, who is a graphic designer woke up one morning with a very stiff neck and started calling around to find a massage therapist. On her appointment she starting talking to the therapist and it turned out they were a brand new massage school that offered reflexology and massage classes. We really did not have the money for tuition, so she asked if they needed business materials? We were able to barter with her Graphic design skills and my printing skills to pay for the first the 10 week reflexology class. After that class I decided to take the Massage program, and we struck up the same deal. The owner of the school I attended saw leadership skills in me and asked me to teach part time and I loved it! While still working my printing job and teaching, I started my own business: "The Holistic Massage and Reflexology Center at a chiropractic office in Downers Grove. My space was literally the size of a closet. My business really started taking off, but I was not sure how I was going to be able to quit my dead end job. I had developed a very good clientele in a short time. Two of my very dedicated clients, believed in me so much, they became what I refer to as my "angel investors". This start up money enabled me to quit my printing job and start the real work of building my business and getting my name out there.

Anything worth while comes with a lot of hard work. I succesfully bulit my business through networking, pounding the pavement, and doing a lot of "free" massage at local events, high schools, non for profit organizations.

Through this hard work my business grew in leaps and bounds. A while later I wanted to share what I learned with others and it developed into SOHMAR, the School of Holistic Massage and Reflexology. That was over 20 years ago! I do still have a private practice since I love working one on one with my clients, but love teaching too!

Guest Occupation: President at Vestibular Training Services & provider of Figure Skating Spin Training Tools & Seminars Worldwide
Guest Biography:

Sheila Thelen has been a coach at the Figure Skating Club of Bloomington in Minnesota for the past 32 years. However, teaching skating is just part of her busy life dedicated to improving skaters’ training.

Thelen created several products skaters use on and off ice to help their skating techniques. She also hosts numerous seminars and is part of an online coaching staff.

“I’m thrilled to have met Trevor Laak, the founder of iCoachSkating.com, before he founded it,” Thelen said.

After meeting at Grassroots to Champions seminars, Thelen joined his company as a consultant and helps with their online marketing.

“iCoachSkating is truly a revolution in how coaches all over can improve their knowledge and improve their skaters,” Thelen said. “Every problem a coach has ever had, Trevor has a video to fix that problem. It’s fun to see skaters and coaches learning new techniques and skills on iCoachSkating, and it’s fantastic that skaters and coaches can join the website.”

iCoach, however, is just the beginning. She’s also a very successful entrepreneur, creating several products skaters use to improve various elements.

“My first big product I created was the ‘Jump Ease Skating Harness,’” Thelen said. “I learned a lot about business and how to make a company fun.”

Her second product, Champion Cords, taught her to embrace something new at the time: a business website.

“I really learned how to create a website, and to work with patents (USA Patent:  7,214,171), skate shops, seminars, packaging, staff and manufacturing,” Thelen said. “Champion Cords are fantastic for teaching a skater to feel alignment position, muscle memory awareness and technique.”

Thelen since added the Champion Skating Harness and Champion Electric Spinner.

“Both of these products help the skater learn vestibular balance and air position,” Thelen said. “Truly how you train modern day rotation. It’s actually fun to see people installing this gear in their homes. They are also great for seminars. We haul in a harness, install it and train coaches how to use it.”

Her Champion Developmental Seminars keep this busy coach traveling to clubs with many top coaches.

“Each seminar can be custom designed to feature a guest coach,” Thelen said. “We bring in tons of gear and help the coaches develop skaters at all levels. We are absolutely honored to have an amazing staff of coaches to help.”

Thelen even created a fun jewelry piece with her Champion Achievement Charm bracelet. The charms include all the jumps and spins, a perfect and fun way for skaters to keep track of their progression.

“As your skater progresses through the sport, add a charm to the bracelet,” Thelen said.

Thelen will host a booth featuring all her products at the upcoming May PSA and CFSA conferences in Chicago and Moncton NB, Canada. A two day seminar with World Coach Ravi Walia is scheduled for June at the Bloomington FSC.

Her skating harness and electric spinner also recently became part of physical therapy research and development work with autistic children, something Thelen is extremely proud of.

“This work is so important to me,” Thelen said. “Improving children’s, skaters and families’ lives.”

LEGENDARY ORIGINAL DRUMMER 

with

SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE

INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

CLASS OF 1993

 

If you’ve listened to radio, danced at a club, or played a recording during the past 50 years, you’ve enjoyed the rhythms of legendary drummer Greg Errico. As a founding member of the influential Rock & Funk group Sly & the Family Stone. Errico’s innovative drum performances & use of the hi hat and bass drum on recordings like Dance to the Music, I Want To Take You Higher, Everyday People, Thank You Falettin Me’, Hot Fun In The Summertime and Stand, among many others, helped bring about fusion of Rock, Funk and Jazz. For this accomplishment alone Greg would have deserved his 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame… and the R&B Foundation “Pioneer Award” given to the group at the Apollo Theater in 2001. In the more than 40 years since Sly & the Family Stone broke up, Errico’s performances have been sampled well over 1000 times by various Artists & Bands. He continues playing and recording on some of rock and roll’s most historic LP’s and tours.
Playing has always been my number one interest, Errico states, “but writing and producing are also important. A complete musician has abilities and experiences in all areas. You explore your instrument… from writing and producing, one area strengthens another.” Greg’s writing contributions brought him #1 position on world pop charts in 2014 for the song “Timber”, which was also honored at the 32nd annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards for being among the most performed
ASCAP pop songs of 2014!

Other than raising a family in the San Francisco Bay Area, Greg stay’s active performing the music of Sly & The Family Stone w/various artists and is involved with Unity Music Foundation for which he has produced several recordings featuring many world class Jazz Artists such as the Count Basie Orchestra.

Guest Biography:

KURT A, KRUEGER

A native of Los Angeles, Kurt A. Krueger lives what he teaches and teaches what he lives.  He has won 16 medals in four Senior Olympic swim championships.  Mr. Krueger has taught Peak Performance Practices (PPP) around the world for elite athletes/coaches, performing artists, business people, and others.  His goal is to have everyone physically and mentally fit throughout the 21st Century.  He has been interviewed on Radio/TV and for the print media on four continents. 

Mr. Krueger was an All-American swimmer at Los Angeles Valley College and is a member of their Hall of Fame for Water Polo, and he also coached numerous world-record holders for San Fernando Valley swim schools; he was a member of Glendale College and Cal St. Uni. – Los Angeles faculties of Psychology and/or Physical Education.  He has also coached soccer, football, basketball, and Track & Field. He is an internationally published author, photographer, lecturer and corporate consultant.

Mr. Krueger’s interest in Peak Performance Practices developed when he met a Master of these sciences in 1974.  His integrative learning was tested three years later when he was a passenger on a JAL plane hijacked by the Japanese Red Army terrorists.  Mr. Krueger used a PPP concentration technique he’d been practicing and found his mind relaxed and focused at the height of the crisis – the first coach passenger to speak with hijackers and ultimately the first off the plane.

Returning to America, Mr. Krueger taught history and government at an inner-city ghetto school — Crenshaw High in Los Angeles.  His mental control was again tested there when threatened twice by students carrying either a drawn knife or gun.  He peacefully settled the incidents by verbally demanding the weapons.  His clarity and ease in an intense situation once again amazed Mr. Krueger and others.  Fellow teachers recognized his ability to cope with crisis situations and requested that he instruct them in Stress Management techniques.  This ultimately led to a series of highly successful presentations in Southern California climaxing with programs at the United Nations in New York City, and Oxford Medical School (UK).

Concurrently, Mr. Krueger also began training athletes for Peak Performance.  It developed into a ‘systems’ program to strengthen a person’s body, mind and spirit.  The use of these techniques had enabled him to win numerous medals in the Senior Olympics.  Examples of some high school students improvements after just three months use of Peak Performance Practices: Greg Denby, a high jumper with a personal best of 6’6″, leapt 7’1″; Macarthur Osbourn went from a 2:01 880 yard runner to a 1:54; Anita Sood, of India, set eight National swimming records, and Bejoy Jain, in 14 days, set a National Junior Record then swam the English Channel faster than any other Asian.

Mr. Krueger founded the Institute of Sports Psychology in 1982 in Bombay and ultimately developed into an organization with four more offices in: London, Melbourne, Tokyo and Los Angeles.  The following year he founded Success Systems International to develop programs and practices specific to companies and performing artist needs. Mr. Krueger has trained the Claremont Professional Football Club, W. Australia, which took second in the Grand Final that year. He has trained professionals and athletes of SIX different countries National teams. He has been asked to and did present programs for the United States Military Academy, Young Presidents Organization, IBM and other major corporations. 

Mr. Krueger has presented at major international conferences such as, a keynote speech, Stress Management in Sports and Business at the World Congress on Sports Psychology in Copenhagen; Fitness for the 21st Century at the Olympic Scientific Congress in Seoul; and Technology with a Heart workshop at the International Conference on Technology and Education, Brussels; and Strengthening Character at the Conference of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education Recreation and Dance in San Diego.  He has been published nearly 50 times internationally in magazines and journals. Also, he is a National Board Certified Teacher in ‘secondary’ Physical Education and is a trained Scoutmaster for Boy Scouts. Mr. Krueger had been serving on the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Physical Education Advisory Board from 2000-2014. His book, Winning Ways for Living became a bestseller in its first 3 weeks on Amazon in 2016! See what it will do for you! 

In his spare time, Mr. Krueger has designed a Culturally Transformative annual event to be implemented called, The World Fest, and Character Education/Inclusion (if interested in this send him a note and you will receive several sources and ideas to implement. One of which reduced violence in a large Refugee Camp over 90% within two (2) years!
