"Sometimes you think you do not have hope; but you keep on! Then you find out you have hope, and then you find faith"

InPOWERmeant Dream Coach™
My first public speaking engagement was at 12 years old. I remember it vividly. The feeling of having the audience entertained, captive, and inspired by my voice established a life long passion as a public speaker. I enjoy speaking and have a lot of fun doing it. As keynote speaker, facilitator, workshop leader, panel guest, or guest on radio and TV. I've learned to incorporate a balance of humor in serious topics. It is an art, and I love customizing my message to your theme. I find joy in instigating, agitating, and inspiring audiences with engaging, powerful, transforming messages of hope.
I began writing poetry and short stories as a pre-teen; I learned at a young age paper is nonjudgmental. Those reading, however, may have a few more opinions. Dynamic, relatable, and raw is what many who read my books say. Author of 13 books, including bestselling Moving Forward in the Face of Adversity, It's Not You, It's Me, Dream BIG, Dream Catcher, BReaThe, and my latest release, The Day I Forgave GOD! Be it a novel, inspirational, or poetic, all of my writings journey the reader through the message of hope and faith. You can host an Inspirational Cafe' my version of a book signing and book read with your group or book club; for more information, contact us directly. Email
I coined InPOWERmeant Dream Coach™ to reflect my personal coaching style of coaching and counseling. The place where dreams are manifested. What is your dream, deepest desire, or divine purpose? Are you at a crossroads or roadblock and not sure what, where, or how to start? Do you know you are in-powered to accomplish your dreams? Perhaps you are tired of the same-ol' thing. I'm not an ordinary Coach/Counselor; together, we work your muscle of faith and develop your gene of good success. Once and for all, you will move past your doubts and fears and experience explosive results.

"Hearing you read a insert out of your book was a wonderful insight on how to read the pages. Hearing you read pg. 277 now when I read it I will always hear your voice as if you were reading to me. You brought your book to life after hearing you. It is like a whisper. It is as if you are in a dream as I listen to you read page 227. I imagine when people read your book that is the experience you want them to have. That is my experience. So, I don't forget to breath. I stop and I take on life that is given to me, the chance to see and experience a new day. Some give toast to a new marriage. I toast to life as I breath. Thank you Iris Jones for a wonderful gift. As I breath. Again. Deeper and deeper as I blow out the toxin that settle in my body. I breath. ~ Lisa Wright"
