Kathryn Jackson

People do what they were taught, whether it works or not. Jobs, relationships, money, and health are all a reflection of learned behaviors. Most people follow the path that was laid out before them.But what if that path leads to heartache, hopelessness or pure hell. What happens when the "right thing to do" no longer works?It's time to paint a prettier picture. This book is simply about deciding to take action. Planning a better life or a successful business is no different than an artist creating a new work of art. You decide how you want it to look. Follow the outline and before you know it, you have created a masterpiece in both your life and business. The key is to get started. There is no substitute for action. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is scary and not for the faint of heart. It is always shaky ground, because what comes next is an unknown. But the freedom of making your own choice is a lot more exhilarating than the stress of staying in the lines, drawn by someone else.Kathryn Jackson walked away from a 20-year Human Resources career and opened Deja Hue Art Studio, with no artistic skills whatsoever. Now she can draw, paint and show others how to do the same. Kathryn will share the steps required to shed old beliefs and create a new life, despite what "they" say.P.S. My Superpower is: I help people unleash their inner 3rd grade artist, by creating their own masterpieces.
