Stephanie Johnson, Bed Rest Concierge
Bed Rest Concierge was born out of the purest desire to make a difference in the lives of women and their families. As the Founder and CEO of Bed Rest Concierge, Stephanie can truly relate to all women.
During her pregnancy she spent 26 weeks on bed rest, 45 days of which was spent in the hospital. Fortunately, she had a loving family, and the most fabulous girlfriends, who catered to her, pampered her, and comforted her through her daughter's arrival. She then took that experience, and turned it into business valued at $3.8 million dollars in one year! Starting off with a $4,000 loan from her husband, Stephanie will walk us through how to take your vision, your brand and your business to the next level!

Libby Spears, Bravo CC
For more than 30 years, Libby Spears has been educating + liberating + entertaining audiences of all sizes. Her first paid gig came when she was seven years old and invited to help "warm up" a studio audience for a taping of a game show. She made $10 that day and like a Chariots of Fire Moment that happened in slow motion, Libby found her calling. After more than ten years teaching in the college classroom and seven years as a small business owner, Libby has established herself as the go to person for presentation and public speaking coaching. Today she combines her natural talent for humor and storytelling and completes it with highly relevant, game changing communication strategies for professionals to stand out in a crowded and competitive marketplace. Libby is a daughter, sister, wife, mom to two daughters and proud resident of Denton, TX. She is passionately committed to not only helping professionals be successful but she also helps make college dreams come true for girls graduating from Denton Schools. She established the "What's YOUR Plan BE?" scholarship fund in 2010. Her insatiable curiosity about people has presented her opportunities to work with people across industries, professions, and business models.
