More on Iyanla—Life Coach
A powerful, positive and larger-than-life force of personality, Iyanla Vanzant brings a special brand of empathy to her life coaching work. Iyanla returns for her third season with STARTING OVER to share her wisdom, compassion and enthusiasm for life, with what she calls the "sisterhood of women."
For 24 years, Vanzant studied everyone and everything that spoke to personal strength, personal growth and empowerment. She then integrated that information with her own experiences and developed a common sense approach for addressing life’s challenges. Her frank, down-to-earth, and inspiring manner resulted in the publication of over a dozen books, five of which were New York Times best-sellers.
An immensely popular public speaker, Vanzant teaches an accessible process for discovering spiritual identity and its inherent power. Her work, she says, "Teaches people how to move beyond whatever has happened in their lives in order to do and be what we came to life to do and be." Vanzant teaches that one cannot evolve politically, socially or economically until one evolves spiritually. She conveys this message with love, humor and humility and her approach has earned her an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York.
More on Veronica
Veronica Conway is a powerful behavior change agent. The child of a former Black Panther, Veronica spent her early years in the middle of the Black Power Revolution. She and her parents lived "underground," running from police, FBI and other members of the Black Panther Party. When her father went to prison in 1972 to serve a life sentence, she continued to live with her mother in Northern California. When she attended University of California at Berkeley in the late 1980’s, she had an epiphany. She began asking the question, "What is freedom? What is freedom for African-Americans? Is freedom determined by circumstances, or is it a mindset, is it internal?"
She began studying human performance, looking for answers to what made the difference between those who are successful versus those who struggle. In 1998 she founded the Black Professional Coaches Alliance (BPCA), a national network of African-American Success and Business Coaches. This organization is dedicated to the psychological transformation of the psyche of all people of African Ancestry. Veronica always says "The Revolution will not be televised…it is internal…it is about the evolution of beliefs and behaviors in our community."
