05 25 2013 Life Mapping and Football !

Today The Golden Fold's Young Leaders will enjoy........or maybe struggle with special guest Felicia Ford the Founder of The Gifted Group. We will also bond with a group of Young Leaders from Suffolk, Virginia. Ms. Ford will assist us in creating life maps with turn by turn directions ! After her thought provoking session we will enjoy a game of flag football (or maybe tackle........maybe....) and end the session enjoying a hearty lunch at The Golden Coral in Virginia Beach (Call Kinji 757-401-1240) for details.

Ms. Felicia Ford is the founder and principal of The Gifted Group, LLC. Felicia holds a master of science degree in business management with certifications in Change Management, Project Management, and Information Technology and Business Transformation.
Before graduating from Old Dominion University, Felicia sang as a professional background vocalist for her first live recording catapulting a professional music career as a background vocalist singing at concerts, live and background studio vocals for CD/Album projects, all of which equipped her to enter the position as an artist manager.

"I am a small town academic whose big dreams led to a life near the ocean, where now my reality includes helping others fulfill their own." - Felicia Ford

As an artist manager, Felicia learned to strengthen an artist’s fan base and marketing reach via Internet and terrestrial radio in major markets in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Felicia managed the business, tours, and bookings as well as secured her artist as the headliner and opener for major recording artists. She also secured bookings and sang background at events with artists such as Todd Dulaney, Travis Greene, Melinda Watts, JoAnn Rosario, Luther Barnes, Maurette Brown Clark, Smokie Norful, Tye Tribbett, Norman Hutchins and more. Today our Young Leaders will leave feedback on what they learned from Ms. Ford's guidance.

Happy Mother's Day Belated to our Golden Mothers. Among two of the gifts that have been reported to us is a Young Leader Shawn who just won his campaign to be the Junior Class President of Tallwood High School. Also another Golden Mother reveled in her Young Leader's (D.J. B*WIN) entrepreneurial spirit, he entered the D.J. business world as a 12 year old. It's always good to have a DJ in the fold. Congratulations Mothers. Below is a song D.J. B*WIN performed for his mother a few years ago.
