“The Personal Development Network for Peak Performing Women”
Welcome to WIBNA!
The Women in Business Network of America (WIBNA) is a division of Circle of Champions Seminars®. WIBNA is dedicated to the support and success of women in business across America and the world. Our mission is to help women to start and grow successful businesses through state of the art training, networking and personal mentoring. Our network provides a strong support base and atmosphere that nurtures strategic relationships and equips women for peak performance.
Why WIBNA?
More than ever, women are actively making a difference in the world and constitute the fastest growing segment of American business. A third of all new businesses are created by women... yet women continue to face significantly more barriers to entrepreneurial activity in comparison with men. WIBNA "levels" the playing field by providing cutting edge information, on-going training and a strong network of support for women in business and those who desire to excel personally and professionally.
What makes WIBNA unique?
While WIBNA has a strong emphasis on helping women to start and build successful businesses, we are equally committed to developing women who have a world class commitment to personal excellence and total balanced success in every area of their lives. While many training organizations focus on the external aspects of success and personal achievement, our organization is praised for the decision to incorporate the spiritual dimension into our seminars and workshops which is the foundation for all true and lasting success.
In support of our mission WIBNA is committed to helping women to:
• Start and build successful businesses
• Develop healthy self esteem and leadership skills
• Discover and cultivate dormant gifts, talents and abilities
• Develop success habits and life skills
• To achieve balance in business, family and personal life
• To achieve financial independence
• Support and give millions to missions and outreaches
.

Emmy M. Vickers is a nationally acclaimed speaker and charismatic business
leader who gains joy from inspiring and teaching others how to use their most
effective communications technology…the mouth…to grow a more productive business
network. All too often companies of all sizes neglect to embrace the power of
networking as an effective marketing and productivity tool. Sometimes the
neglect stems from a lack of knowledge; sometimes from being bogged down in the
daily details of operating a business. Emmy has trained over 500 company
executives and sales people since 2004 from MD, DC, VA to Las Vegas and
Clearwater, FL. She is the author of the highly anticipated book Out of the
Box and Into the Black, which is set to be released in the Fall of
2008. Emmy also holds the title of Special Liaison/Regional Trainer of BNI
(Business Network International) for MD and D.C., the largest international
word-of-mouth business referral organization. As a Trainer, Emmy helps
professionals build quality working relationships that grow businesses. Because
of her natural energy and passion for helping others, Emmy is known by many as
the “energy bunny.” She brings to you coaching and a networking workshop
experience that delivers hands-on, interactive practical skills which her
clients can apply today and continue to use in both their personal and
professional life. Emmy believes in thinking BIG. Seeing beyond what is in front
of you. She guides her audience to dream big, envision, and take action. She
motivates, inspires, and educates.

Tiffany L. Watkins, founder of The Mind Over Money Companies, comprised of Mind Over Money Strategies, LLC and Mind Over Money, Inc., which focuses primarily on consumer education for personal financial management. Tiffany provides the strategic direction and vision for the companies, while ensuring all operations are delivered within the high standard of excellence, integrity and confidentiality that her clients deserve.
Tiffany has always had a passion for economics and financial and wealth concepts. This passion was heightened through life, work and academic experiences. As an undergrad, she realized that students were inundated with the instruction to 'stay in school to get a good paying job', but there was no class designed to instruct students on how to handle the money they earned. Since many parents also didn’t have this instruction, students were forced to take out loans to finance their education and spent many of the beginning years at their “good paying jobs” playing catch up. In 2006, driven by this revelation and many others, her passion reached a boiling point and Mind Over Money, LLC was birthed.
Tiffany has a Bachelors degree in Finance and a Masters in Management Information Systems from Morgan State University . She has also obtained her Life and Health Insurance Licenses and Series 7 license. In the spirit of continuing education, Tiffany is currently working to obtain her Certificate in
Financial Planning in late-2007.

Testimonial
I attended a WIBNA event in the April 2008. It did not take long for me to know that this organization was exactly where I needed to be to take my business to the next level. I was surrounded by powerful women with powerful dreams who were part of a powerful organization. When it came to the opportunity to become a member of WIBNA and COC, I did not hesitate. The benefits of membership have been tremendous! I have received extremely valuable mentoring advice as well as a personal cheerleader in the form of Bob Yates! My membership with WIBNA is by far the BEST and most BENEFITIAL investment I have made for growing my business.
