WELCOME
Dear Colleagues, Friends and Family:
We’re very excited to bring you EMPOWER! Minneapolis 2016!
EMPOWER! began with big goals that came directly from the definition of the
word “empower”:
• to make (someone) stronger and more confident
• to equip or supply with an ability
• to give someone more control over their life or more power to do something
• to promote self-actualization
This is what EMPOWER! was, is and always will be about. In Minneapolis, we will
come together to connect, to lift each other up, to become stronger and more
confident in mind, body and soul.
In honor of the true spirit of EMPOWER!, we have added a complete “Positive
Psychology” track this year featuring one of the most amazing speakers in the world,
Dr. Robert Holden. Robert is a best-selling author and internationally renowned
teacher and coach. His Friday evening event, “Shift Happens,” will undoubtedly
change lives just as his keynote did in Chicago this past March! No matter who you
are, what industry you are in or what role you play, this is not to be missed!
We’re also thrilled to host Donna Richardson, a fitness industry icon! Donna has
starred in countless exercise videos, including the best-selling Buns of Steel (ouch,
I remember that one). She was the co-host for the ESPN Fitness Pros Show,
inducted into the Fitness Hall of Fame and has been named by Essence Magazine
“one of the 25 most inspiring women in America.”
You don’t want to miss these headliners as well as other amazing speakers and
presenters, so come “fill your cup.” Heck, bring a bucket!
For more information on all our events, including presenter information and
session descriptions, please visit us at empowerfitnessevents.com.
Whether it is very part-time or very full-time for you, the career you’ve chosen is
not a job; it is something you were called to do. EMPOWER! is the platform on
which we all can stand to better actualize that calling. It’s where we celebrate the
privilege it is to serve others and truly make a positive impact on this world.
We sincerely hope you’ll join us in Minneapolis September 15–18 for what will be
an event to remember!
Much love,
Kimberly, Rob and the EMPOWER! Team
EMPOWER!
