World's Greatest Women Annette Comer

This woman grew up in a family with 3 siblings.  At age 8 her father left the family and her mother took over raising the children. There wasn’t extra money but this woman knew she wanted to go to college. So, she found a way to put herself through college and began a 22-year marketing career. Then at age 50, she made a promise to God to commit to inspire and reach the masses. She had always felt purposeful, even as a kid. This commitment at age 50 to a bigger purpose was the next step along her journey. Today she is walking her path to greatness as she promotes powerful conversations, powerful connections and meaningful transformation through her thriving platform Goalfriends. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Darlene Whitehurst.

Today’s woman was born to parents who were very open and progressive in their thinking. In this environment she learned to be an individual who was willing to take risks. In high school she went to Iceland as an exchange student and went onto study economics and international business. As her life unfolded, she worked in different industries and became involved in startup efforts. And with each step, she got stronger, took on more responsibility and excelled higher. Today she is walking a path to greatness as a c-suite executive. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Lisa Reeves.

Today’s woman was born in Mexico City to a working-class family. From an early age, she devoured every book she could find on how to improve herself and her life. And along the way there were hardships. At age 12 the family lost everything to a fire. At age 14 the family made their way to the United States even though she couldn’t speak English. And then there came a point where the father abandoned the family. In spite of these challenges, she graduated high school with honors. And then at age 21, she was diagnosed with cancer. But she kept believing that she could rise above and that all the things she learned from those great self-help authors were true. Today she has built a successful 7 figure marketing company and walks a path to greatness with an intense desire to serve others. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Jackie Ruiz.

Today’s woman grew up in a service-oriented middle-class family as the oldest of two children. As a child she was in lots of social circles and often saw the injustices of the world around her. In college she decided to pursue law because she wanted to be one of the ones that rooted for the underdog. She thought she was destined to be a fighter but as time passed, she realized she was more of a bridge builder. So, she left legal litigation and moved into mediation. And then she became a mother and her whole perspective of the world and her career changed. Today she is on her path to greatness as an entrepreneur conflict resolution specialist for corporate and family disputes. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Colleen Byers.

Today’s woman grew up in an immigrant family from Mexico. From an early age, she was exposed to what it was like to be an entrepreneur and she knew she wanted to be one. In school, she was popular and loved being social. But she was also smart and by the age of 16 she already had 52 college credits. Speech therapy caught her attention and this became her major in college. At the age of 22 she started her first company with a $100,000 loan. Over the next 14 years she generated over $100 million in revenue from 17 startups in 7 different industries. Today she has turned much of her attention to philanthropy as she strives to get back to others. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Perla Tamez.

Today’s woman grew up in a lower middle class family with an identical twin sister. She was an A student in school and knew by the time she reached college she wanted to be a doctor. Her parents had taught her that she could do anything she dreamed of so off to medical school she went. When it came time to choose her medical specialty, she chose radiology – a field few women pursued. By the time she completed her training, she was a mother of two. And it was as a mother she saw how others began to decide what was enough for her and where they thought her priorities should be. But she pushed forward and today is walking her path to greatness as a prominent radiologist specializing in pediatric and breast imaging. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Lauren Golding.
