Naomi Zee
I gave my first public speech at 12 years old, started my first company when I was 20, wrote my first College Course Curriculum at 24, duplicated my first company at 26, consulted my first spa at 27, founded my first National Charity at 29, published my first book at 34 …
Growth is my design, delight and forte. Getting past our own limitations depends on how willing we are to look inside with honesty. It is my Joy to pass on my learns, how-to’s and discovery points for leadership; for both you and your corporate heartbeat.
It’s funny, this page is telling you about me, yet I want you to know about you!
I’m Naomi Zee. Leadership is my passion, culture my canvas and growth my byproduct, all of which fuel my desire to empower you.
“First you, then them.”
You can’t lead them well if you can’t lead you well.
Discovering there was a way to unify my love for people, love for business and skills that coincide, I embarked on training with World Renown Leadership Guru, Dr John C. Maxwell. Being a part of The John Maxwell Team fueled my ardor for discovering personal design, purpose and Hope.
My goals have not changed. Enhanced, definitely, yet not changed! My drive to see people reach the fulfillment of their design has resulted in my matchless proprietary coaching style, training curriculum, and overall approach to leadership. Sound leadership must begin with purposeful self-focus.
You can always find me enjoying my shoes! When I’m not working I can be found contemplating Spritual Truths, savouring my loved ones’ time or striving to keep up with my husband’s extravagant athleticism.
As a solid believer that people are more important than things, I do love my “me time”! I start every day with a solid window of conscious and intentional meditation and listening. As the baby, with two older brothers at 6’5” each, daily workouts became a quick necessity for survival while marrying an extreme athlete keeps the momentum alive.
Gary Van Vlack
I grew up surrounded by poverty, violence, and adversity, making choices that led me into years of addiction until a life-changing awakening turned everything around. Through embracing truth and purpose, I discovered forgiveness, identity, and the strength that comes from true transformation. Today, I’m a devoted husband, father, and leader, committed to living by example and helping others find the same freedom and renewal that reshaped my own life. My passion is to see lives restored, families strengthened, and people forever changed for the better.
