Speaker's Bio — Clestine I. Herbert
In the Beginning
I was born in Sheffield, England. Shy, insecure, but for a purpose. I had problems speaking to people one-on-one never mind large crowds! But I discovered that your ultimate destiny is written before you are born. Mine included. So life started to drop me hints that I was created to empower people through speaking and coaching. Hint#1: As a little girl when I played with my friends, I always wanted to be the teacher. As shy as I was, I enjoyed getting up in front of my group of friends. Instructing, teaching, empowering!
Life Trains You Well!
We all have to go through training. Life continued to lead me into rigorous training. There were situations where I had to speak in front of large crowds, small crowds; businesses, or churches. Whether I wanted to or not! During this time I discovered that I had a passion for encouraging people, creativity for developing training curriculum, and a wisdom for life that was considered amazingly profound at such a young age. Life also dealt me cards that empowered me, created an independence, boldness, and practicality in me that would be my unique style.
Turning Lemons into Lemonade
The year 2000 became the turning point in my life. After being promoted as an engineer in corporate America several times over the years, that chapter of my life came to an abrupt end! I, along with hundreds others, were informed that we were going to be laid off! In the company that I was in at the time, they had four lay off dates. I was the only one that was laid off on October 27th. My birthday! (How d’ya like those lemons?). I didn’t cry or get upset but in my spirit realized that this was God’s way of saying “Happy Birthday girl! I have a wonderful gift for you. The gift of purpose!”
I have been drinking, cool, sweet lemonade and riding full throttle ever since.
I was created to empower you!
Speaking is my life! Empowering people is my passion! Whether it’s one person or 100’s of people, after walking away from one of my workshops the effect is the same. You will walk away feeling empowered! You will be rejuvenated if your spirits were low. Receive tangible answers to your confusion or questions, and have hope if you feel abandoned.
Discover what 100’s of people are discovering. Clestine, the Empowerment Speaker & Step-Into-Life coach, will empower you to make a change! Get ready to be empowered!
A Few Other Things I Thought You Would Like To Know!
I have over 15 years combined experience in speaking, training, team development, organization development, grant and project management experience. I have developed strategic performance measures, quality controls and awareness programs, and have managed various internal projects with private sector firms. I have earned a Bachelors of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering and trained to design systems for people that are efficient and effective. My experience includes running a quarter of a million dollar not-for-profit agency and assisting them with planning and systematic efficiency. All in all, my passion is to empower people and assist businesses and churches to strategically improve.
So there you have it. I was created to empower you, so get ready to be empowered!
