Speakers

Jay Watts

Jay saw his life changed at the age of 21 when he accepted Christ into his heart and left behind a life of atheism and nihilistic self destruction while attending Kennesaw State University (KSU) in Kennesaw, Georgia. He studied communications and theater at KSU, and his background in performance and speech combined with his love of study made him very comfortable as a lay teacher and preacher in the church. He worked in the commercial HVAC industry for thirteen years, the last six as a commission salesman, before God called him into full time vocational ministry.

Jay has spoken to churches, men’s ministries, youth groups, and school assemblies on defending the theistic world view, the sanctity of human life, and his testimony of how God took him from a hostile pro-choice atheist to a Christian pro-life advocate.

You don’t want to miss this presentation of scriptural principles and life applications that are sure to set the stage for success and stir up the gift God has given you. Not only will you be empowered to reach for your dreams, you will discover how to overcome discouragement that can lead to quitting. Ann will reassure you that success is found on a solid foundation of God’s principles and not dependent on age, status, or past. Ann’s daughters will set the stage through a praise dance demonstration that will prepare you to break the patterns that often keep you from achieving what God meant for you to have. A visual demonstration will also take place to reinforce the importance of keeping God at the center of your life for victorious abundance.

What marketing tactics are important to give your business favor? How can social media work as a tool to your advantage? How can I use a Press Release to my advantage? What does a cover letter and dealer term sheet consist of? These are all questions and many more that will be answered at this workshop. Ann will share from personal experience the procedures she took when creating and promoting her first project from beginning to end, as well as the many things she has learned along the way to provide more success to an idea.

” There are speakers who are knowledgeable, and then there are speakers who are knowledgeable, engaging, vivacious, use humor, and are passionate about their topic. Catie Frates is all of these things and then some! I’d sit through any and all of Catie’s lectures, read any book she writes and possibly should start a fan club for her!
