Dr. Sheree Bryant Sékou

Most of us have a clear idea of what needs to change in our lives for us to be the happy, joyful and fulfilled individuals we were born and created to be. Whether the change you’re seeking is a change in income, relationships or career, the question isn’t what you want, it’s how you’re going to get it. That’s where Dr. Sheree comes in. Dr. Sheree has served learners and developed leaders in the hotel industry, healthcare institutions, Fortune 500 corporations, correctional education facilities and traditional academic settings. She is a motivational speaker, transformational facilitator, leadership coach and positive change catalyst whose work is grounded in a strengths-based philosophy of searching for the best in individuals and organizations. She is the owner of Sheree Sekou Consulting, a boutique learning and development firm, host of the What a Difference a Change Makes podcast, and founder of Your Treasured Life, a leadership and lifestyle brand dedicated to the people, places and things that inspire positive change. She believes that the power to change your life is in your hands and she’s developed transformational coaching and learning programs that will help you get where you’re going without the guesswork. Dr. Sheree’s expertise comes not only from her education and work experience, but from a full life of seeking and courageously leaping forward to a treasured life. She “feels the fear and does it anyway”, and by leading through example, she helps her clients do the same. An avid business and personal traveler, Dr. Sheree has journeyed to six of the seven continents, and she currently resides in the Houston area and the U.S. Virgin Islands with her hubby. She considers herself a lifelong student of spirituality, personal empowerment and self-mastery. To learn more about Dr. Sheree’s products and services, go to www.shereesekouconsulting.com

About The Author

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

I celebrate you and your choice to live differently. Because you don’t pick up a book like this one unless you have chosen, consciously or subconsciously, to live differently. What I know now for sure is this: whenever I’ve decided to live differently, it has required change. I am not speaking of change merely for the sake of change. I am referring to change with purpose and meaning!

I realize change can be overwhelming, and this book is designed to reduce the overwhelm and support you along your change journey. We begin with an introduction so we can clarify positive change, talk through some of the fundamentals of change, and amplify the role the Soul plays in identifying and incorporating positive change into your life. We continue with twenty-one passages, each dedicated to a specific area of positive change. Each passage contains a simple, straight-forward message for your consideration, a memorable Jewel of Wisdom or key takeaway, and space for you to reflect on how to apply the passage to your life in a meaningful way.

The book also includes quotes from leaders, teachers, and mentors whose words and work have helped change my life for the better. This book is small on purpose,
