Everybody has a story. But not everyone has a story to tell. Stephanie E. Wilson-Coleman’ s life narrative is a testament that anyone can have a story worth telling.
Like every hero, Stephanie Wilson-Coleman, the“ straight no chaser” Empowerment Doctor, was born out of necessity. Her story is filled with conflict, villains, roadblocks, moral dilemmas and spiritual awakenings.
Stephanie’ s story began in Little Rock, Arkansas, where she graduated at the top of her class at the historic Little Rock Central High School. This she managed to do despite becoming a mother at 15, experiencing sexual abuse and molestation and attending high school in the midst of intense racial tension. She beat the odds. In 1988, an accident caused Stephanie to suffer a basal skull fracture from which the doctors predicted she would not recover. She beat the odds. In 1996, Stephanie, a victim of corporate downsizing, was left in financial ruin, which resulted in being temporarily homeless. Again, she beat the odds.
With triumphs, comes trials— any good story has these elements. But the story gets better.
The same drive that led her to complete high school with honors, led Stephanie to earn her bachelor’ s degree from the University of Arkansas and cinch an MBA from the University of Chicago’ s Executive MBA program. She even studied economics and finance in Singapore and Barcelona, Spain which created a desire to travel the world and experience other cultures. Since then, Stephanie has visited over ten countries.
Today, through the organization she founded, The Champagne Connection, Inc., Stephanie, a Success Mindset Mentor & Transformational Specialist, and Pranic Healing Enthusiast has the uncanny ability to help others transform emotional and mental obstacles into stepping stones to living their dreams. She has an insatiable appetite for helping others re-think the impossible. A few minutes with Stephanie is intoxicating. She effortlessly mesmerizes audiences and inspires them from laughter to tears and back again. Whether she is in a small audience, one-on-one mentoring / counseling, a large conference or in a pulpit, everyone will experience a breakthrough.
Her superpower: Transforming Lives. With her guidance, teeth-rattling soul shaking experiences vaporize at her command.
Exhorting others to“ live the life you imagine,” Stephanie’ s The Champagne Connection helps people talk about, identify and work to resolve the difficult, emotional, and often painful behavior and actions that affect their financial health and the financial health of their families. She helps people recognize painful feelings, hidden secrets and to uncover memories that have affected their financial health and the health of their families. Sometimes called the“ Straight No Chaser Motivator”, Stephanie, shares an inspirational and life-changing message through her company’ s workshops, seminars, books, CDs, videos and other speaking engagements.
As a Transformational Specialist, Stephanie has given people the tools needed to not only live their dreams and finally start“ that business”, but to also lead movements in their cities that have dramatically changed the lives of others. One of Stephanie’ s core principles is to be of service to others. The businesses Stephanie has coached have not only changed the lives of others but have also increased their revenues by as much as 150 %. If you’ re on the brink of disaster, Stephanie is the life line you should reach out for.
Driven by the belief that every day is a miracle, and that stamina, discipline, and strength were necessary companions, Stephanie hosts a local television show, A Sip of Inspiration, and facilitates an annual Ignite Your Inner Millionaire conference designed to help others change their Mindset in order to achieve success.
She is also the author of Amazon. com’ s highly popular books“ Be Sure You Dance”,“ Is Anybody Listening: A Journey to Wholeness” and“ Embracing Life’ s Lessons: Journey to Inner Peace and Tranquility” and the popular audio set Overcoming Roadblocks to Prosperity.
She received the Diamond Spirit Award in 2015, the Phi Beta Sigma Crescent Moon Award and the Minnie Ripperton Humanitarian Award in 2013, the Dyvine Destiny Phenomenal Woman Award in 2012, the Chicago Defender’ s Women of Excellence Award and The Verizon Hometown Heroes Award in 2011 and The Black Pearl Award in 2005 for her outstanding contributions to the community. She is actively involved with homeless shelters, at risk youth, teenage mothers, and victims of domestic violence.
Stephanie wants the world to know: We can’ t always control how our story starts, but we can write ourselves a better ending. Life’ s too short to drink cheap champagne.
