Starting next Tuesday in New Orleans, don't miss the internationally renowned EMPOWERMENT SKILLS & TRAINING Workshop conducted all over the world including at Columbia University MBA School, MIT, and Oxford University. The teacher coming for next week's workshop is the founder of the World Alliance for Youth Empowerment and one of the most powerful people I've ever met.
You won't believe how much more energy, focus and creativity you'll get this workshop. It is a serious time commitment, but so worth it. It totally changed my game... from rap to school to basketball, so I can stay in the zone... and whatever I'm doing, I do it better, and I do it quicker.
Ask me about it - 812-322-6587.

The EMPOWERMENT SKILLS & TRAINING Workshop is offered by the Art of Living Foundation, an educational non-profit organization, in special consultative status with the United Nations.
