The one thing I could tell you about Eric Walker is his persistence and the more time you spend with him over the years trying to coordinate schedules and time resources, his follow up and follow through is impressive. Seeing black faces on the court and on the gridiron is very common. But seeing those same kind of faces working behind the scenes, making true boss moves is absolutely rare and uncommon. Professional Sports Marketing is big business and it seems to be cornered by others who work tirelessly to keep those seemingly limited opportunities amongst themselves. Many young dreamers in the inner city see professional sports as a meal ticket out of the despair that is their lives. But the odds of making it big in the game are just not high enough to allow room for everyone dreaming of coming up by playing sports. Eric Walker was one of those dreamers whose life decisions and smart choices put him directly on the path to achieving his dream of working in the game, but not necessarily on the field. Eric is the CEO of Legends & Legacy in partnership with Luxury Lifestyles LLC, a sports marketing firm headquartered in Detroit, Michigan with clients both nationally and internationally. This vision for his company came in 2014, he spent a couple of years learning from some of the best in the business all while perfecting his plan. By 2018 his company was fully operational. Eric has always known he wanted to be an Entrepreneur, not just an Athlete. After serving 4 years in the military he went to work for ADT selling security systems door to door. It was this professional sales training that helped him master the skill of negotiating. Legends & Legacy matches its top tier athletes with agencies, while providing real time statistics and research for companies like industry giant Wasserman. The passion for sports and entrepreneurial drive fuels the growth of his company which he has grown organically, one opportunity at a time. Sports Marketing is more like a marathon than a sprint. It is the kind of business you grow by networking more so than merely education. Having played football in college. It is easier to relate to the needs and wants of a college athlete, one wearing those shoes. It's this kind of relatability that gives Eric an edge in this brutally competitive space. His approachable demeanor and humble attitude has drawn some of the biggest names in professional sports in his direction. Alssene Saintilus, Jeremy Johnson, Derunnya Wilson, Sam Beal, and Greg Jennings of the Minnesota Vikings are among the top names his relationship foundation has established. The big picture vision of Legends & Legacy is to give exposure to high school and college Athletes who want to transition into professional sports. The company is big on attracting corporate sponsorships and endorsements like Nike, Sprite, and Pepsi. Sports Marketing as an industry is small and very limited. Not a lot of opportunity. I noted a small caveat: the person names ("Alssene Saintilus," "Derunnya Wilson") look potentially unusual, but since I can't verify the correct spelling, I left them as written rather than guessing.

Robynne Pendariès, received her degree in Child Psychology from Tufts University in Boston, and then moved to Paris, France in 1989. Robynne worked for 10 years as a fashion buyer in Paris, and subsequently raised her two children while managing her husband's career as a professional golf player and instructor. During a get-together with some friends, Robynne became aware of her passion for organizing: she had her "aha" moment and decided to start her business in 2006 as a Professional Organizer in France. After a few years of organizing people's homes and offices, Robynne realized that many of her clients had been diagnosed with ADHD (subsequently her husband and teenage daughter as well). Without realizing it, Robynne had been helping people with neuro-divergent brains for many years, and she decided to obtain formal education and training as an ADHD coach Robynne completed an ICF-accredited 12-month program through "Coach Approach": this program is designed to be a "perfect marriage" between Professional Organizing and ADHD Coaching. Robynne partners with clients in a thought-provoking process, to create sytems in order to find each person's "life that fits".

A modern, practical approach to leadership grounded in self‑leadership and emotional intelligence, designed specifically for women leaders navigating complexity, visibility, and increasing responsibility. As pressure and expectations rise, many high‑performing women are rewarded for results without being supported in how to sustain clarity, confidence, and effectiveness over time.

What the workshop delivers Participants will explore: • Leading Yourself First: How self‑leadership and emotional awareness create the foundation for clear, confident leadership in high‑pressure environments. • From Inner Pressure to Intentional Choice: Recognizing internal patterns that influence decision‑making, boundaries, and leadership presence, and learning how to respond with greater clarity. • Redefining Success as You Grow: Clarifying priorities and redefining success in ways that support both performance and sustainability as roles and expectations expand. • Sustainable Leadership in Real Life: Applying practical self‑leadership tools that support intentional, aligned leadership over time, without relying on constant hustle or overextension.

Anika Kumar Vashishth is a Positive Psychology Practitioner whose work explores a question at the heart of wellbeing: what enables people not merely to function, but to flourish? With a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Melbourne, certification in Positive Education, and over a decade of practitioner experience, Anika has worked with schools, educators, parents, children, and families to cultivate environments where wellbeing can thrive. Grounded in positive psychology and neuroscience, her work spans one-to-one practice, group programmes, parent and educator workshops, mindfulness-based experiences, and wellbeing retreats. She is also a contributing co-author to a collective book, where she wrote about nervous system regulation and wellbeing. Anika is the founder of I AM ENOUGH | FLOURISH, a community inspired by the philosophy of Purna—a Sanskrit concept of wholeness and completeness. It reflects a belief central to her work: rather than approaching ourselves as something to be fixed, we can learn to recognise and draw upon the strengths, capacities, and inner resources already within us. Mindfulness is woven throughout her practice, supporting presence, awareness, and deeper connection with ourselves and others. Inspired by Christopher Peterson’s principle that “other people matter,” Anika also sees relationships and community as fundamental to flourishing. Her work brings together science, practice, and the philosophy of Purna to make wellbeing meaningful in everyday life—creating conditions in which individuals, families, schools, and communities can move beyond simply functioning towards flourishing.
