Breakfast Speakers

Each month at the WBE Breakfast we have an inspirational speaker. Thank you to all of our speakers! Our speaker for February 2007 was:

Gloria J. Burgess, PhD

Legacy Living; The Six Covenants for Personal & Professional Excellence

"How will I live my life so that I leave an honorable inheritance, a gift not of money but a legacy of the heart?" This is the question award-winning author, and internationally acclaimed speaker Gloria Burgess answers in her new book, Legacy Living; The Six Covenants for Personal & Professional Excellence. It is also the topic she will discuss at our February breakfast.

One of the greatest gifts we can give is to be conscious and intentional about the legacy we live and the one we’ll leave behind. Gloria will guide us to give voice to our deepest longings and, by doing so, leave a shining legacy for generations to come.

Mother, sister, daughter, and wife Gloria is an award-winning poet, author, director, and performing artist. After working for 20 years as a senior manager, internal consultant, and program development specialist in corporate and educational settings, Gloria created Jazz, Inc., an executive coaching and consulting firm. Jazz, Inc. has designed customized, on-site education and training programs in leadership, management, and cross-cultural development at many corporations and organizations, including the Boeing Company, Adobe Systems, and the University of Washington.

Featured on NPR's All Things Considered and in a PBS film on social activism and the arts, Gloria's poetry has appeared in a diverse array of anthologies and journals. She has published three books of poetry, including Journey of the Rose and The Open Door and has written an inspirational picture book for children of all ages about her father’s life-changing relationship with writer William Faulkner.

A dynamic presenter, Gloria speaks and leads legacy journeys worldwide. Working with people of all cultures, ages, and life circumstances, Gloria’s purpose is singular: to help others lift their voice as instruments for personal, professional, and organizational transformation. Born in Mississippi, Gloria lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest.

Get Inspired!

The August Breakfast is reserved for our wonderful Volunteers. This is an annual, invitation only, event where we pamper and acknowledge those who have volunteered for WBE in the recent past. We will be back to our regular breakfast meeting in September. We hope you will join us then.
