On a personal note, on this final of #12DaysofCSuite, we find it perfectly fitting to take a bit of editorial license to feature, and publicly thank, the very first person and business we approached when beginning the C-Suite Pics division of Eyemagination Imaging. We are forever grateful to Dr. Rachel Talton, and Flourish Conference for Women in Leadership, for giving C-Suite Pics its "big break"!

Today, we welcome Dr. Rachel Talton to share her amazing life with us!  Rachel is the CEO of Synergy Marketing Strategy and Research, Inc. and Flourish Leadership, LLC.  Rachel strives to help others flourish in all that they do, professionally and personally.  Her vivacious energy is contagious!  We appreciate Rachel taking some time to answer our questions and inspire us all to flourish in our own lives! 

The events and experiences of our lives continually prepare us for what is to come.  That is something Lynn Selby, today's featured #CSuiteChick, has learned.  As she says below, “Timing and positioning are everything”, and as a result, Lynn is currently the founder and CEO of a successful consulting group based in Baltimore, MD.  She is enjoying entrepreneurship, and is walking in the footsteps of some beautiful women role models.  Grab a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and spend a few moments getting to know Lynn!

Life is a journey, and our next featured client knows that very well.  Meet Debora Barr, an author and speaker who is in the process of transitioning from her executive-level federal government position into full-time ministry.  Our lives are also our stories; thank you, Debora, for sharing a small portion of your story with our readers!

Authenticity.  It’s something we all should be striving for.  Christella Spry understands that, and makes that a daily part of her work as a new, full-time entrepreneur.  She also recognizes a deep appreciation for the influence her mother and sisters have had on her life.  Thank you, Christella, for taking time to share with us a bit of your life!

We all need someone “in our corner”.  Advocacy is such an important concept, and Janetta Kearney lives in that realm each and every day.  As an attorney, Janetta spends her busy days doing just that--advocating for those who need it.  She works tirelessly in pursuit of educational rights, and uses her skills to also facilitate dispute resolutions through mediation.  She knew at an early age that advocacy was her path in life.  C-Suite Pics is privileged and honored to introduce Janetta to you!

C-Suite Pics is honored to introduce Alka Pateriya to you today!  Alka is Vice President of an education-focused company that helps schools and teachers provide the best educational experience for their children and communities.  As you read, be sure to note her favorite Anatole France quote--it is a great one!

We at C-Suite love passionate people who are willing to share that passion and to invest in the lives of others!  Mollie Jackson is a perfect example.  Mollie is the Executive Director for the Presidents’ Round Table.  She is full of wisdom and joy.  We sat down for a bit with Mollie and invited her to share some of her stories with us.  Enjoy getting to know this amazing #CSuiteChick!

Like all of us, Delora Sanchez's past experiences have helped to shape her. However, Delora made a decision that they would propel rather than constrain her! She recognizes those who have invested in her life, and is working to do the same in the lives of others, especially young girls. Delora’s career in law provides her opportunities to lobby on behalf of many clients, including nonprofits. She relishes the joy of mentoring and of “giving back”. We think you will be inspired to do the same, after you read today’s featured C-Suite Inside The Office profile!

Children are the future; and to that end, education is vital.  Alicia Robinson understands this truth. She has chosen education, and working to support quality education for traditionally marginalized communities, as her life's work.  Alicia is an Education Career Catalyst, and today you have the privilege of reading about her journey on this particular path to social justice. Thank you, Alicia, for the work you are doing for our nation’s children!

C-Suite Pics is pleased to introduce Lisa Brown Morton!  This energetic CEO spends her days working with nonprofits to develop strong foundations.  Lisa shared with us a beautiful picture of the heroes who have influenced her professional and personal paths.  She also has a definition of success I think we all can aspire to! Read on, then share your definition of success in the comments!

Johnine Barnes, a DC-based attorney, is today’s featured #CSuiteChick.  Johnine has had tremendous success in her career field, but she recognizes that life is so much more than that -- our careers are just one small part of our worlds.  Be inspired by what Johnine shares with us today -- about her mentors, her motivations, and what she believes is truly important in life.
