• Transforming Your Voice And Message Into The Wilderness – Vincent Caruso
    Jun 24 2025
    Connected Leaders Academy Person-to-person, and heart-to-heart. This is a time-tested way in which a service minded approach is executed when someone really wants to help people solve their problems, and to earn the reputation of personal referrals. Authors, coaches, and entrepreneurs create content to tell stories, to help people develop and transform, and to sell their services and products. It does not make sense to spend a great deal of time and money focused on creating content, product, and attracting clients, but to then neglect the use of high-quality human voice acting and top-level audio quality when creating and enhancing the media and content. It’s critical to be able to recognize that today, clients, consumers, and buyers take in content in many new ways. These new ways reinforce the power of tapping into the sound of the human instrument – the voice – is used to connect person-to-person, hear-to-heart. The written content tells your stories. It creates a world that the reader, the observer connects to. Now, think of how much more powerful your messages would be, how the way in which you give the knowledge that you market and sell would be if you found a way to transform your voice and message using the sound and use of a compelling human voice. The pressure to expand and grow your business, to increase your client satisfaction and boost referrals, are all top of mind to the entrepreneur and business owner. Strategically using a versatile, experienced and creative human voice talent to communicate your words, to highlight your services and all their parts is a strategic marketing power. Understanding the way in which you can incorporate this into your business model will help you to transform and enhance your voice and message wherever it goes in the wilderness of the world. Vincent is a mindset coach, a member of the NYC-ICF chapter, who helps individuals explore and gain clarity as they discover ways to grow, change their thoughts, and joyfully transform their world. Vincent’s also an experienced voice actor, audiobook narrator and producer. He’s completed over 65 fiction and non-fiction audiobooks, including 12 audiobooks written by coaches.

  • Life By Design Not Default: Thriving After Cancer – Zoraida Morales
    Jun 24 2025
    Connected Leaders Academy I never thought that healing mentally, physically, and spiritually after a cancer diagnosis would lead me to leave the finance industry and become a nutrition and cancer coach—but it did. In this talk, Life By Design Not Default: Thriving After Cancer, I share how a life-altering diagnosis became the catalyst for deep transformation. At first, I was just trying to survive. But over time, I began asking bigger questions: How do I want to live? What am I truly hungry for? Those questions led me on a powerful journey through the three pillars of healing—mental, physical, and spiritual. I’ll share what each pillar looks like in real life, how trauma and limiting beliefs can keep us stuck, and how we can begin to move from survivor mode into a life of purpose, connection, and joy. This isn’t just a talk about cancer—it’s about reclaiming your power, rewriting your story, and designing a life that feels aligned, intentional, and fulfilling. Whether you're a survivor, caregiver, or someone navigating life after a major disruption, you’ll walk away with practical tools, hope, and a reminder that healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s journey but your own. Zoraida Morales is a Certified Transformational Nutrition Cancer Coach, speaker, author, and cancer thriver dedicated to helping others heal beyond the diagnosis. After 13 years of chemotherapy for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and now over 46 months in remission, she left a successful career in finance to follow her purpose. Zoraida empowers survivors and caregivers through her signature Three Pillars of Nutrition: Mental, Physical, and Spiritual framework—guiding them to manage anxiety, nourish their bodies, and shift from surviving to thriving. She’s been featured in Perspectives on Cancer Volume II and shares her story through conferences, podcasts, and community events. Zoraida also holds a Professional Certificate in Project Management from Rutgers School of Business and blends heart with strategy in all she does. A joyful mother of two, she finds peace in yoga, astrology, and salsa dancing—and lives by her mantra: Life By Design Not Default®. zoraida@zoraidamorales.com https://zoraidamorales.com/ https://www.facebook.com/zoraida.morales.1428/ https://www.instagram.com/z.morales2018/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoraida-morales/ ~ More About The Connected Leaders Academy ~ Connected Leaders Academy is Elevating Entrepreneurs for Success Learn from Global Experts: The world of entrepreneurship is vast, but we bring you closer to the wisdom of global experts.
