Spectacular Seniors: Ramona Kaptyn

Today you will have the good fortune to hear from a senior who has worked in more than 6 countries and traveled to many more. On top of that she is well versed in several professions: journalism, hotel management, teaching and fund raising. She has some good advice for everyone listening, and she exemplifies the new "retired person" who is not really retired at all but just shifting to new careers. 

We are lucky that she has time for this session before she takes off again to travel. Did you hear her story about meeting the Trudeaus?

Spectacular Seniors: Ralph Hahmann

Having a stroke is a serious health problem. While I don't know the stats, many people don't survive or end up physically incapacitated following a stroke. Ralph Hahmann is one of the lucky few who can continue to work, walk around and converse with me regarding his experience. He says he owes a lot of his recovery to a Life Vantage product called Protandum. While Mr. Hahmann is in good shape now, the sad part of the story is the lack of timely and appropriate care from the medical establishment that he experienced. He recovered in spite of his doctors, not because of them. 

Listen now and hear about this miraculous recovery and the good prospects of light therapy and Protandum.

Spectacular Seniors: Dr. Michael Likey

Have you ever met a celebrity? Well, today I met a local celebrity. Dr. Michael Likey is an international author with numerous books published. He's also a hypnotherapist, a video podcaster, a radio station host and a producer. If that's not enough he's also an ordained metaphysical minister and a Reiki master. What does he do in his spare time? He puts on magic shows. I suppose you'd say Dr. Likey is a modern-day Merlin from King Arthur's day.

Spectacular Seniors: Cynthia Dunn

Cynthia Dunn had lots of personal experience with dementia through her grandmother and then her parents. She decided to specialize in this training and help other care givers. She rightly points out that the professional staff usually focuses on the patient, not the relatives who must deal with these problems, often without training. They usually have no breaks from the problems; they are on call 24/7. Her agency, Choice Dementia, offers some creative ways to provide care in conjunction with the care from doctors and counselors.

Spectacular Seniors: Wendy Foster

Wendy has a very inspiring story. Often referred as the "Energizer Bunny", Wendy infects you with her unbridled passion and enthusiasm and demonstrates the power of positive attitudes for both yourself and your team/associates. It's easy to see how Wendy reports that her clients report a decrease in stress and illness and an increase in joy and productivity.

Wendy Foster's methods for improving lives, both personally and professionally, are incredibly effective, yet also simple and easy to apply.  As a play expert, Wendy relates to the heart and soul of companies, such as Google, whose founders built the organization around the idea that work should be challenging but fun. Wendy's presentations link the art and science of play to success in life and business. 

She is also the CEO of the G.E.M. Project (Giving Empowering Moments), which is a global movement for gratitude, acknowledgement, giving, receiving and paying it forward.
