Amy Nubson
Program Director
It’s the first step in becoming the more clear, courageous, and confident version of yourself. I can’t wait to help you find your way back on a path that guides you to the life story you’ve always dreamt of.
My story wasn’t always so clear, courageous, or confident either. Let me shed a little light on what used to be the tale I told everyone, including myself, to be true.
Growing up the daughter of a dairy farmer in rural Wisconsin, I learned a lot about hard work at a young age. Unfortunately, along with it came the notion that one must sacrifice to be successful. And I did. I was always putting others’ needs and wants before my own – forcing my inner voice and dreams back into the shadows. Granted, I learned useful life skills but had completely lost myself before I’d even gotten to know the little girl inside.
I spent my life merely trying to survive all its hardships without knowing who I really was or what I wanted. There was so much shame around the mess I felt like I was living in. Life seemed to be unraveling at record speeds until I came to my breaking point. My mind and body were sending me distress signals- it was time to start listening to the voice from within. Being the marketing professional I am, I decided to “rebrand myself”.
Lei Roscom
Executive Assistant and Trusted Wingwoman
Since 2015 Lei Roscom has played the role of trusted wing woman and go-to person for John Bates. She handles the many tasks that must be done to make sure John can concentrate on creating, coaching, and delivering programs. Making a difference in the background by choice, she is responsible for all of the little things that add up to big things. She controls his schedule with an iron fist and a friendly, accomodating smile. Like a lot of John’s clients, Lei was able to find and share her Origin Story – about surviving domestic abuse for her own small audience, making a big difference for others.
When she’s not handling John’s schedule or gushing over NASA Astronauts, she’s most likely taking care of her 3 kids or curating nice homey corners in their small, but lovely home.
