Presenter: Dr. Catherine Akbarieh, DDS, Holistic Health & Nutritional Counselor, Nutrition For Vitality & Wellness.
Dr Akbarieh is a dentist with a twist: she has taken a bite out of the conventional drill and fill approach to dentistry and taken it back to the roots. She is a licensed dentist by profession, and has a passion for helping people look at their health from a different perspective: Everything about you and your wellbeing is interconnected. Oral Health is at the Heart of Overall Health, both begin by healthy nutritional habits, and are affected by more than just what you eat.
Dr. Catherine (as she is known to friends and patients) recognizes that a state of total health requires healing, and that is a journey unique to each individual. In order to allow the body to heal, one must address different aspects of one's health - that's the lesson she learned through personal challenges, which she will share with you during her presentation.
Dr. Catherine has successfully helped curb and eliminate sugar cravings that often lead to rampant caries and increased weight, has inspired and guided clients towards weight loss and increased energy and overall fitness, and helped her clients remain healthy despite a busy schedule that involves frequent travel or odd work hours.
Dr Catherine Akbarieh has studied at the world-renowned McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where she majored in Physiology, then graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1997. In 2009, her passions led her to New York City, where she received her training in health and nutrition counseling from the Internationally known Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, certified through the SUNY Purchase College and the American Academy of Drugless Practitioners, under the guidance of such doctors as Depak Chopra, Andrew Weil and Barry Sears, to name a few.

Presenter: Marcy Stahl, co-author of the upcoming book, Direct Selling Power
www.MarcyStahl.com
What’s the difference between the top entrepreneurs and you? Mindset! They probably started out from the same place you did, yet they’ve achieved very different results.
Why cultivate an abundant and profitable mindset? Because it helps you accomplish your life purpose, made manifest in your work. Only you know what that purpose is. It may be educating people about health and wellness, improving their finances, or helping them grow and change.
Because your mindset has such a huge effect on your success, it makes sense to learn how to improve it. We can seldom directly change the world around us; we can only change ourselves. And that internal change brings about many changes in our lives, for the best!
In this talk, you’ll learn:
- three keys to creating a foundation for a great mindset
- what’s an information diet and why you need one
- the five stages of change and how to help yourself make a lasting change - what to expect emotionally along the way.
Marcy Stahl’s passion is helping women entrepreneurs achieve the successful lifestyle they want. She knows that the top entrepreneurs have the top mindsets. Her mission is to help every entrepreneur develop a profitable and abundant mindset.
She’s the co-author of the upcoming book, Direct Selling Power, with a chapter on mindset.
Marcy helps her clients move from fear, frustration and struggle, to a steady flow of clients, while feeling a sense of confidence and abundance.
She uses an eight-step process that addresses the outer world of business: marketing strategies, recruiting, and leadership, as well as the inner game of entrepreneurship: managing your energy and cultivating a powerful mindset!

"Creating a Viable Second Stream of Income through Direct Sales"
Presenter: Debbie Eggleston, Sr. Division Manager, Jewels by Park Lane
The economy has left a number of people taking a long, hard look at their financial health. Many wonder how their bottom line would be affected with an extra $200, $500, or even an extra $1000 a month. Some come to direct selling to earn just a little extra money for essentials such as their children's braces, an unanticipated expense, or to increase their retirement account. Some come to direct selling to earn money for extras such as a new car or a family vacation.
Whatever the reasons, direct selling is a viable option for creating a second stream of income, one that over 15 million have taken advantage of. Most direct sales companies offer a quality product, an easy-to-learn business model, and low start-up costs. Whether you've been a home-show skeptic or a home-show junkie, learn how you can take advantage of a sound business model and let direct sales provide a financial cushion for you!
Born and raised in Texas, Debbie Eggleston dreamed of working in politics, so shortly after graduating from the University of Texas, she moved to Washington, DC and discovered that working in politics didn't really pay well. She landed a job in government and public relations with the electric utilities industry - a position that allowed her the benefits of spending time on Capitol Hill without actually being a government employee! She also worked with the U.S. Department of Energy, helping to formulate a plan to transport spent nuclear fuel. A few years and a couple of jobs later, a corporate downsizing found Debbie a stay-at-home mom to a toddler and needing more adult interaction.
Her "aha!" moment came while attending a neighbor's home show, and discovering that the consultant was on the verge of earning a six-figure income (and she certainly didn't need to understand nuclear physics to sell her products!). Debbie started her direct sales career in 2001 with PartyLite Gifts and was often recognized as a top-seller. In 2009, she was invited to meet with the CEO of Jewels by Park Lane, and decided to add fine fashion jewelry to her sales portfolio. She earned recognition for annual sales achievement in her first nine months with the company.
Debbie currently resides in Ashburn with her husband, two children, four frogs, and one fish.
