Sharon has had an illustrious career from being Emmy Award winning Broadcaster, TEDx Speaker, Certified Diversity Executive CDE®, Adjunct Professor and Cancer Slayer whose goal is to help people make an impact in business, health and life by embracing the power of communication.

We explore Blue Zones which are populations across the globe with extraordinarily high life expectancies and quality of life. We also go into depth about the concept of the Power Nine, which are lifestyle habits of the world’s healthiest and longest-lived people, and then translate these philosophies into pragmatic, actionable steps for our medical residents to emulate.
