			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kit Cummings was born and raised in Atlanta, Ga. and graduated from the Terry School of Business at the University of Georgia with a B.B.A. in Marketing. Kit has worked with Fortune 500 companies, as well as having many years of ministry experience. Working with a variety of different companies, organizations and churches, Kit has devoted himself to teaching, coaching and training for many years, speaking to thousands of people around the country, as well as overseas. After beginning his career in the music industry, Kit later developed and led groups where he mentored entertainers and athletes. Trips to Kenya, the Philippines, South Africa, East Germany, Scandinavia and the Dominican Republic helped Kit to learn about the &#8220;Human Condition&#8221; and to develop a heart for helping people. Whether it was teaching people about AIDS in the slums of Kibera outside of Nairobi; or serving the homeless people of Smokey Mountain in Manila; or gathering at a multi-racial service with the liberated people of Post-Apartheid Soweto in Johannesburg; or walking among the impoverished communist citizens of East Berlin behind &#8220;The Wall&#8221;; or simply watching the little children playing in the hurricane-torn streets of Santo Domingo&#8211; Kit came to realize that people are the same all over the world, however, some of the least fortunate ones sometimes have the most exceptional attitudes&#8230;</p>
<p>Kit has a passion for helping people: he serves as a teacher for the Atlanta Union Mission; he serves as an associate chaplain with Hays State Prison and KAIROS; he serves as a director with Project KARMA, an organization devoted to youth gang intervention; as well as serving on the advisory board with Hope Worldwide, an organization devoted to helping the poor and needy. Kit spreads much needed, life-changing good news to the corporate world, the prisons, the schools and the streets&#8230; With over twenty years of experience in various levels of leadership, Kit has excelled as a coach and a teacher where he offers keys and principles that inspire people to see things differently, adjust their thinking and reach new heights. With a motivational style that combines inspiration and humor, Kit&#8217;s high energy program connects with all types of diverse audiences, whether it be training in small workshops or delivering keynote speeches at large events and seminars. Kit has spoken to a wide variety of audiences over the years: he fired up the University of Georgia football team before their opening game in 2000; he encouraged and instructed a meeting of brokers and bankers in the aftermath of 9/11; he&#8217;s taught large groups of students about &#8220;Living Life On Purpose&#8221;; he&#8217;s taught public speaking courses to professional speakers; he has given men hope and courage at prisons and recovery centers; he has inspired people to &#8220;Aim Higher&#8221; in places as far away as Africa and Asia, in addition to the many people he has uplifted in different companies and organizations here&#8211; on average, Kit delivers over 150 dynamic presentations per year.</p>
<p>Today people are being bombarded with &#8220;drama&#8221;&#8211; politics, the economy, the war, health concerns&#8211; and being drained of their vital energy. With so much bad news and negativity surrounding us at work and in the media, people have begun to EXPECT more bad news and unconsciously started looking for it&#8211; and we tend find what we look for&#8230; Kit&#8217;s presentations are not only motivational and entertaining, but he also leaves people with specific tools and techniques that they can begin to use immediately to rise above the stress and anxiety produced by the current circumstances surrounding us. </p>
<p>Whether it be working with executives, athletes, inmates or youths&#8211; energy &#038; attitude are always part of growth, recovery and victory. Kit teaches principles and techniques that help people to increase their personal energy and develop an attitude for success&#8230; Athletes speak of being in the &#8220;Zone&#8221;&#8211; or conversely, being in a &#8220;Slump&#8221;. How much more effective could you be, if you could quickly recognize when you were beginning to slump and had the tools and resources to move back into that other place of power? It&#8217;s all a matter of &#8220;Attitude Science&#8221;&#8230; If your company is looking for an inspiring and entertaining speaker/coach to help you galvanize your team and accomplish your goals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phil-Town/54176091507">Phil Town</a> is a self-made millionaire several times over and America’s most widely sought-after speaker on investing. In his first book, RULE #1, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phil-Town/54176091507">Phil Town</a> describes the Rule #1 personal investing strategy in detail so that anyone, even first-time investors, can get—and stay—wealthy. <a href="http://www.rule1investor.com">Phil Town</a>&#8217;s newest book is called PAYBACK TIME and is available now.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phil-Town/54176091507">Phil Town</a> is the classic Everyman, and one whose  resources were more limited than most. An average student, he completed college on his 4th attempt. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phil-Town/54176091507">Phil Town</a> spent four years in the Army, two of them as a trained Green Beret. He returned from the Vietnam War and found a job in the Midwest as a river tour guide.</p>
<p>In the early ‘80s, Town’s life changed for the better. He was guiding trustees from the educational program Outward Bound down a dangerous rapid on the Grand Canyon’s Colorado River, when his split-second decisions saved a boatload of people from a whitewater disaster. A grateful and financially astute client returned the favor by guiding <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Town">Phil Town</a> into serious, successful investing using the first rule of investing as ascribed to by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett">Warren Buffett</a>: Don’t lose money. Within five years, Town had built a borrowed $1,000 into $1 million. His fortunes improved radically, and rapidly, from then on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phil-Town/54176091507">Phil Town</a> speaks on investing on the same stage as for Presidents Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton as part of the “Get Motivated” touring seminars. He speaks to more than 600,000 people annually about <a href="http://www.rule1investor.com">Rule #1 investing</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Town">Phil Town</a> lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.</p>
