Just as we have celebrities that go by one name
only…Oprah, Beyonce, and Cher – there's an entrepreneur, author, motivational
speaker, life coach, and CEO who shares the same kind of "one name" limelight.
Her name is Pegine, and she is my Sirius XM Wealthy
Ways Show guest this weekend.
Born Pegine Echevarria (pronounced: Peh-geen
Etch-uh-vuh-ria), she spent her early childhood in a neighborhood facing
violence and a struggling family. She was a gang member and was even kicked out
of high school.
But Pegine's life was turned around with the aid of
her aunt, her grandmother, and a Girl Scout leader. She went on to get a
master’s in social work and even founded the New York City Parent Educators
Network. She’s been a contributing expert in the field of parenting and early
childhood development. Additionally, Pegine has been a spokesperson for
Clorox.
Her company, Team Pegine, was ranked among the 50
fastest growing companies in North Florida.
Today, Pegine is a leadership speaker,
best-selling author, award-winning businesswoman, advisor to U.S. Presidents
(and their task forces), as well as to Fortune 500 executives.
She focuses on engaging their employees and
stakeholders. She educates leaders and businesswomen on influencing, impacting,
and inspiring others to increase profits, productivity, and
positivity.
Pegine coaches women CEOs, admirals, generals,
college presidents, and entrepreneurs on influence, impact, and presentation
skills.
AVON and Real Leaders Magazine have called Pegine
"one of the world's top leadership motivational speakers."
Her clients include ten percent of the Fortune 100
global corporations and 15 percent of the Global Top Direct Selling
corporations.
Pegine is the founder of Power Women Worldwide. Her
newest book is Called to Lead: Success Strategies for
Women.?
