ams with a public outlet to display their amazing talents. The goal was to
be inclusive of school\, church\, recreational and community center teams
. The event has grown with each passing year and it is indeed a pleasure t
o witness the creativity and originality of all the teams that participate
” Angela Brown\, the event’s founding chairwoman. The chapter consists

torium. For more information about registering your step team to compete o

Terry Jean Taylor
A passionate motivational speaker and
life coach with a new reality-based\, no-nonsense approach\, Terry Taylor
is the designer of a unique strategy for reaching your goals and loving yo
ur life. Her 8 Steps For Reclaiming Your Life CD program shows you how to
break free from conflict\, confusion and the control of others so you can
go after your goals guilt-free\, with confidence and joy. A personal couns
elor for over thirty years\, Terry has helped women in all walks of life i
mprove their productivity\, their relationships and their quality of life
by breaking free from the contradictions in their beliefs that lead to str
ess\, anxiety\, and guilt. Both her CD program and her new book\, This Is
Your Life: No Apology Needed\, are designed to help you stop apologizing
and start living.
Before designing her CD Program and writin
g the final version of her book\, Terry conducted a survey of business wom
en and working moms to discover what helps and what hinders them in going
after their goals. The survey confirmed that the women who experienced the
most serious conflict harbored self-paralyzing contradictions in their de
ep-down bottom-line beliefs. Terry is no stranger to dealing with conflict
s that arise from holding contradictory beliefs about ourselves and the wo
rld. She spent the first half of her life in conflict between what others
told her to do and what her own best judgment told her to do. At stake wer
e her career\, her marriage\, her decision about children\, and her happin
ess. Through long study and thought (she found that agonizing and hair-pul
ling didn’t work)\, she was able to resolve her conflict and achieve the
life of her dreams: she loves where she lives\, what she does\, the man s
he lives with and the kind of person she has made of herself.
