John Elliott and Luella May welcome you to the Second Edition of Women of Courage
Each week we will honor a woman that has truly made a difference by her contributions, courage, love, and selflessness. Women honored will be chosen from inside AdlandPro, outside AdlandPro, living in the present, and yes, we will not forget those heroines that paved the way for the freedoms we now enjoy. We will honor women who have shown tremendous courage and fortitude against all odds.
Assisting us in coordinating these awards are four outstanding ladies who are Women of Courage in their own right.

Kathleen Gage
Kathleen is known as the "Streets Smarts Speaker." This is a title that she wears proudly, as Kathleen is a highly successul, self taught entrepeneur.
Her "Streets Smarts" Title could also very well apply to her personal life. She made choices in her teens and early twenties that took her from a comfortable middleclass upbringing to a life of homelessness and being unemployable. She overcame a bout of paralysis at an early age, survived the great quake of 1985 in Mexico City, and lived for an extended period of time on the West Bank of Israel. Kathleen has risen from seemingly insurmoutable odds to a life of success and prosperity. Through her almost impossible life experiences, Kathleen has developed a distinctive and creative approach to helping others understand the power of beliefs, thoughts, and actions that aid in improving both their personal and professional life. When Kathleen mentors a client, she focuses on their entire persona, thus teaching them all aspects of how to achieve success.
