Design Your Destiny’s keynote speakers will provide resources to renew, uplift and empower you spiritually, financially, physically, emotionally. The focus is not only on your business acumen but also your overall physical well being.

During his growing years, Lucille O’Neal always encouraged Shaquille to be the best he could be in whatever he was doing.

"I would tell Shaquille to always be true to yourself and when you set a goal, you do everything that you can to work toward achieving that goal." she said.

In her new book, "Walk Like You Have Somewhere To Go," Lucille O'Neal (http://www.lucilleoneal.com) writes about the importance of each person finding spiritual strength in God. Each chapter of her memoir, depicting her life from that of a single mother without enough confidence to that of a confident and woman of faith.

"I'm grateful to God," she said. "I want to share about the journey. I want to tell people you don't have to stay down. You can pull yourself up."

Business anchor for CNN, Valerie Coleman Morris (http://www.ValerieColemanMorris.com) talked about money every day to 290 million households, businesses and airport networks. She is also a keynote speaker at the ‘Design Your Destiny’ event.

“Money talks. These days everyone's listening,” explained Morris. “I talk about personal finance with people at all levels of financial accomplishment or financial disarray. I’m especially concerned about and committed to people (of all ages) who haven’t been schooled in the basics of how money works.”

Barbara Walters interviewed Morris on The View (http://theview.abc.go.com) and you can watch that interesting video by clicking on this link: http://www.valeriecolemanmorris.com/vid_3.html
