Co-Author of "The Kingdom Assignment" trilogy, Leesa Bellesi announces her newest assignment

Leesa Bellesi says her calling is to help contestants on the popular television show.

Leesa Bellesi threw her hands up in the air and prayed: "Here I am Lord, send me to the backstage of American Idol."

She was watching Season 5 of the ultra-popular television show in her Laguna Beach home at the time. It was her calling, she thought, "to minister to the needs of the people on that show."
Several weeks later, out of the blue, a pretty girl named Katharine McPhee walked into Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena where Leesa's husband, Denny, founder of Coast Hills Community Church in Aliso Viejo, was serving as the interim teaching pastor. Katharine asked Leesa and Denny to pray for her – as she was about to go into seclusion for American Idol. Read more . . .

Katharine McPhee at "The WELL DONE AWARDS"

Wow! I almost forgot I had this video. My clients and friends Denny and Leesa Bellesi invited my family and I to attend the "WELL DONE AWARDS" this summer at Coast Hills Church in Aliso Viejo, CA. I blog about the "Whirlwind Trip" to California on The VORTEX. (search for it). Anyway, I was going through my hardrive this morning and realized I had completely missed this video. American Idol Star, Katharine McPhee is amazing. She also received an award that evening. Get caught up in The VORTEX!

Leadership Summit 2007 - Lead Where You Are

Wow! Just completed 3 days of intense leadership re-calibration at The Fellowship of The Woodlands, "Leadership Summit 2007". This was my second year to attend and I encourage others to seek it out and put it on your schedule for next year 8/7 thur 8/9 2008 (see http://www.willowcreek.com/ for more details on 2008).

The summit is satellite broadcasted all over the world, with over 100,000 leaders attending this year. We heard from Carly Fiorina, Former HP CEO, Floyd Flake, Marcus Buckingham, Michael Porter, PhD, Harvard Strategy Professor, Colin Powell, Former Secretary of State, John Ortberg, Filmmaker Richard Curtis (who has raised over $1B to help the poor and dying in Africa), Jimmy Carter (not my favorite past President, but interesting man to learn from), and of course, Bill Hybels.

I get inspired everytime I go, to do greater things. Our "little missions" when compared to the greater things going on around us, pale in comparison to what others have done and are doing to make life better for the desperately hopeless. Leadership is a gift and a higher calling. I am looking forward to the drastic changes I am making in my business, life, and focus for the rest of the year. The most dangerous prayer one can make, is "Lord use me!" Lead where you are. Get caught up in THE VORTEX.

"Money Train" with K-Diamondz

Met Kelan (K-Diamondz) on-line. After reviewing his website and his focus, I wanted to alert my readers to this rising star. "Money Train", K-Diamondz' next CD will be a big accomplishment for his emerging label "Street Pop, Inc.". Kelan says he wants to convey a positive message for the street culture helping them to discover alternative ways to monetary success, away from the drug culture and the narrow path of sports. Kelan wants to reflect what is hot on the street and his sound does just that. Read K-Diamondz bio to read about the hard work and smart strategy he is employing as he puts his label on the map.

I will be interviewing K-Diamondz (Kelan) on one of my Podcasts.

I love this photo of Steven. As soon as it was shot, I knew we had a hit. In reality, Steven is a modest guy and the title "Mr. Media" was given to him by a client. He doesn't taught this, but I thought it was appropriate given this image. Steven Kay is an emerging radio personality in the Houston market and growing his offerings. Go to www.stevenkaylive.com to learn more. Please tell him you heard about him from the VORTEX!

Photography provided by Joe Heiliger (www.jheiliger.com). Joe was interviewed on Steven's radio show "Life Business and Money, with Steven Kay" today. He is speaking on the importance of photography technology in business and in life. Mr. Heiliger is the VORTEX's personal photographer. Listen to his radio interview here: <Joe Heiliger> fast forward to last 20 minutes of interview stream.

It's My City!

Marketers need to have an attitude about what they do. We are the visionaries that communicate great brands and help our clients make millions, billions! So, if you are going to market, think big. Walk confidentally, communicate well and be clearly understood. I motivated my team recently by declaring that it is our city (any city we are marketing in). With that thought, we are all thinking big and working aggressively to seize opportunities. Hope you get caught up in the VORTEX!
