Our careers, our companies, our relationships, and our lives succeed or fail, gradually then suddenly, one conversation at a time. With Fierce conversations, we come out from behind ourselves and into our conversations and make them real. We have conversations that make a difference in our organizations, our careers, and our lives while enriching our relationships.
Luis has been an international training professional for over 20 years. He has lived and worked in Mexico, India, and Brazil, with organizations such as Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, and Microsoft.
Growing up as a gay young man in a Mexican American, Catholic, and misogynist culture was a challenge, for sure. But always the independent thinker, this situation only urged Luis to continue questioning authority, questioning reality, and seeking truth.

These experiences have had a lasting impact on Luis and have also shaped his values and perspective on life.

Her mission is to enable stress free relationships, effective communication skills and improved outlook on life.
Using her S.M.I.L.E. strategy Ruqya catalyses shifts and breakthroughs. With clients and in groups she addresses subconscious limiting beliefs and disrupted pursuits of happiness.

She has presented mindset training workshops in UK, Singapore, Egypt, Kuwait, UAE and India.
Passion to express, trust in self and gratitude are her strengths. She is driven by the awareness that though her life is simple, her achievements are always growing. Each day she is an example to her children and the many who see her as she is.

New Book Release “Simply Amazing Women” Published by Celebrity K.C. Armstrong and Features Author & Advocate, Deb Morgan, and twelve other women who are overcomers.
Simply Amazing Women by Celebrity K.C. Armstrong features advocate of recovery and twelve other women who have overcome life’s challenges and now help others.
New Author and Recovery Advocate, Deb Morgan is a shining example that recovery from addiction works and is possible.
In Celebrity Radio Host K.C. Armstrong’s new book, Simply Amazing Women: ‘Become Inspired by Deb Morgan’ and twelve other women who share their stories of overcoming life’s intense challenges and how each woman is using their overcoming wisdom to help others find purpose, healing, and transformation. Diane Donovan, a Senior Reviewer at Midwest Book Review, states, “If ever there was a good time to publish an inspirational collection of stories, it’s now.” Simply Amazing Women is about choosing the kinds of responses during adversity that translate to survival and courage. While these mini-biographies were compiled before COVID-19, they highlight the ongoing need for inspiration now as never before and are intended, like those in its predecessor, Simply Amazing Special Author’s Edition, to provide the encouragement to not just go on with life, but make it the best possible. The examples posed by these women all demonstrate paths to rising above adversity. Readers receive a survey filled with intense battles involving self-healing, transformation, and the kind of self-improvement that leads to helping others both through example and by outward-oriented effort. Mr. Armstrongs’ many interviews chose these empowering women he has done to pick those writers and stories, and their paths taken were more than just about rising above adversity. These remarkable women’s lives unfolded through interviews designed to pinpoint the origins of their strengths and perspectives; readers are treated to a moving, inspirational account offering various strategies for overcoming adversity. As a new world replete with fear, death, and division emerges, there is no better time for reading and considering this book’s underlying message about not just survival, but building and rebuilding a better life from the ashes of disaster. Very highly recommended as a torchlight guiding the way to transformation. Barbara Bamberger Scott of U.S. Review of Books has applauded K.C. Armstrong for shining an encouraging bright spotlight on the women’s unique experiences. He appropriately prefaces each woman’s account of barriers and successes and, when needed, deftly prompts, offering pertinent facts and gently phrased questions. It’s an effective technique, creating a comfort zone of understanding. Interviewees are respected as they recount defining moments and share accumulated wisdom. This is the second book in the Simply Amazing series, with interviews taking place in Armstrong’s internet and F.M. outlet WMAP (World’s Most Amazing People). His introduction references the current COVID-19 pandemic, remarking that all the stories in this aggregation involve “a personal pandemic that one has to get through somehow.” International in scope, this volume will doubtless be inspirational for women of any age and provide a lively focus for women’s groups and forums across the globe. “Simply Amazing Women” goes on sale, Friday, May 1, 2020. The new book will undoubtedly help encourage all who read it and help us to begin moving forward after this Coronavirus has ended. It can also help us start moving forward in living life again!
