My life and career started one way, and grew and expanded as I took advantage of opportunities that came across my path during my adult life. I also learned to overcome obstacles and beat the odds along the way, and I now inspire people around the world to do the same.

Although I grew up dyslexic, I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, and later from Harvard University with a Master’s of Business Administration. Because reading was so difficult for me, school was always challenging, but I met the challenges, overcame them, and eventually achieved more than even I thought possible. I was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. How did I manage a learning disability to achieve not one, not two, but three degrees! I tell you on this site, through the blog, with my books, videos, and training packages; amazing products and services that I have spent years perfecting for you! Take a look here!

I have a high energy persona, and an inspirational teaching style, which is why I’m known as “Energy in Motion.” Over the years, I have trained professionals like you on six continents to achieve new levels of success for themselves. I am passionate about working with winners to actualize their full potential.

I have presented onstage with Oprah in conjunction with her Empowering Women and Girls for Leadership initiative. I have appeared on CNN with Soledad O’Brien, on ABC-TV, and on CNBC with Donny Deutsch on his “The Big Idea” Show. I have been featured in many periodicals, including Fortune, Black Enterprise, Glamour, and Ebony. Harvard Business School has documented my business success in a case study titled Gloria Hilliard Mayfield at Mary Kay Cosmetics . That case study is taught to students in the Business School.
