Loann Phoenix is a business coach, strategist, and the founder of Gifted Impact™. She helps entrepreneurs and leaders to uncover their Innate Gifts and leverage their natural brilliance in their work, leadership and businesses, leading to a more inspired and fulfilling life. With over 15 years of experience in international business development and cross-border trade, she has a proven track record of navigating complex growth, including scaling a startup from 8 to 50 under two years, resulting in a successful acquisition. Her leadership and experience spans across market entry strategies, scaling businesses, building teams and departments, designing systems, and advising entrepreneurs and investors across multiple markets. Loann is an expert on helping purpose-driven founders move from "performing success" to leading with Natural Authority. Drawing from her own experience as the oldest child in an immigrant family, Loann understands the "conventional script" of high achievement and the pressure to meet external expectations. Her work is a response to the exhaustion of performing confidence and the misalignment that occurs when work or business is built on learned skills only, rather than internal integrity. Through the proprietary Gifted Impact Framework, she helps founders uncover 5-8 Innate Gifts with proof and translates them into aligned business strategies, resonating Offers, and supportive workflows. Loann’s POV is that in a world where AI and generic tactics are easily replicated, a founder’s natural authority is their true competitive advantage. She works with entrepreneurs to realign their offers, workflows and sales positioning around their unique ways of creating value. This shift moves the business from a structure to be performed for, into a vehicle fueled by the founder’s innate gifts and authentic presence. Based in Quebec, Canada and working with a global clientele, Loann is also a workshop facilitator and speaker on human value in the age of AI, leadership, and the power of presence. Her insights have been featured by McGill University, Salesforce, or ScotiaBank Incubator Programs to name a few. Outside of work, Loann enjoys having a cup of coffee with desserts while engaging in deep conversations or sharing 'aha' moments. She frequently invites others to join her in monthly gatherings or on a documented conversion on her podcast, Real People Everyday Spirituality.

Marilda walked away from a successful 20-year career as Senior Project Manager, as, for many years, she felt unfulfilled: she was continuously struggling to juggle career and family. And eventually found herself drained and depressed. Marilda massively changed her life in 2019, when she realized that developing a new set of skills in the current economy is a must. And here is why: over $2.5 trillion per year is being spent on retail purchases online and, over the last few months, there's been a 25% increase in online sales. By leveraging the digital skills, Marilda was able to create her own business - Living My Digital Life - and reached a whole new level of work-life balance. This shift would not have been possible for Marilda if she had not discovered the power of affiliate marketing. She is now the owner of her time and can build her career around the family (not a life arranged around the job as it used to be). Her mission is to empower other women to stand up for themselves and make the same shift. Hence Marilda offers a program that walks you through specific steps to learn the skills you need to create a profitable online business from scratch.

At the core of Selene’s work is the understanding that lasting change cannot happen through cognition alone. The body stores stress, adaptation, and survival long before the mind can fully make sense of them. Her work explores how these deeper physiological and psychological imprints shape behaviour, emotional health, resilience, and the way we relate to ourselves and others. Her approach is informed by advanced training across somatic coaching, executive and leadership coaching, cognitive and behavioural therapies including CBT and ACT, trauma-processing modalities including EMDR, and integrative disciplines spanning hypnotherapy, grief and bereavement work, yoga, breathwork, and lifestyle medicine through Harvard Medical School Executive Education. This breadth allows her to work with both depth and precision, integrating science, psychology, and embodied practice into one cohesive framework. Through private coaching, immersive experiences, and published writing, Selene supports individuals in building greater emotional capacity, behavioural awareness, and nervous system resilience — creating change that is not only intellectually understood, but fully embodied.
