WHY THIS EVENT?

It’s easy to celebrate our monumental achievements because these victories are obvious and joyful and often triumphant. It’s the moments behind the scenes, however, where tenuous steps are taken, obstacles are overcome, and mountains are moved by the most obscure revelations that truly define a person.

 

Uniquely Phenom Collaboration recognizes the greatness, courage, and sheer determination that lie in the foundation of the human spirit.

 

By sharing these stories, our hope is to inspire one another to keep moving forward despite our fear and to collaborate and authentically expand our networks.

Are you looking to expand your network?

This is your opportunity to not only truly connect in an authentic manner by sharing your personal story of triumph, but to gain some invaluable street cred.

OUR APRIL 6, 2023 EVENT WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

MEET OUR APRIL 6, 2023 PRESENTERS

Nicole Craveiro

Owner, CraveHRO

Nicole Craveiro, owner of CRAVEHRO, HR consulting for employers who care, created her business after overcoming challenges that could easily have stifled her success. Nicole openly shares that she hadn’t been the most stellar student for much of her educational career and had even found herself in a group home during her adolescence. She speaks of how she turned it around, found her passion in HR, and graduated with her Masters Degree from Stony Brook College–in the same town that she  spent a month of her life in a group home 15 years prior. With humor and candor, Nicole discusses overcoming the fiery pits of Hell and celebrates the life she’s created for herself.

Simon Brazier

Director of Sales, Visiontron

Simon Brazier is the Director of Sales with Visiontron. Throughout his extensive experience working with people under various circumstances, he has learned to trust his instincts regardless of popular opinion. Simon shares his story with the hope of inspiring people to listen to that voice because it is always right!

Michaela Birdyshaw

Chief Joy Officer at Joy, Inc.
Personal Empowerment Coach

As a life coach and group facilitator, Michaela Birdyshaw carries forward the lessons learned through the Dojo Kun of Okinawa Kenpo Karate into all she does and all she is.

 

Michaela puts herself in a very particular class when she shares that she has earned a black belt–and yes–she  always says earned, for she is humbled by her own dedication. She is deeply proud to hold this distinction. She is, however, most proud of her white belt–her first and dirtiest. The celebration of her black belt is owed to the grit learned in pursuit of her white belt. Michaela learned to develop her  inner and outer strength to move and love like never before. She had no idea it would help her find the right balance through life and offer this gift to others. During For Those Who Rise and Shine, Michaela shares this gift with you.

Chris Coluccio

CEO and Co-Founder, Techworks Consulting, Inc.

Chris Coluccio is the creator of Techworks Consulting, Inc., which continues to grow everyday and expand its influence, while maintaining the important values it was built on. Chris will share the story of his hard work and dedication and of how he (plus a team of great people) helped transform Techworks from a near bankruptcy IT provider to one of the most respected Technology companies on Long Island.

Chrissy Bencivenga

Performing Artist, Advocate, Content Creator

Chrissy Bencivenga is a writer, singer, and content creator who has walked through the fire and lived to tell the tale.  After overcoming many addictions, she changed her career and life path and acts as an advocate for others experiencing similar challenges. Chrissy speaks openly and honestly about overcoming eating disorders, infertility, divorce, anxiety, depression, and low self-worth. She does not subscribe to the notion of airing life’s difficulties as “TMI”; rather she shares her stories as a way to uplift and empower others.
