As one of America’s Next Top Models, Angelea has been able to walk through many doors. In fact, she says,“my story is a one in a million chance of a lifetime.” I was awkward and lived in an urban area.  Many boys called me a giraffe or bean stalk and it played on my insecurity. I knew I could be a model, but I was insecure because of my looks and my social circle, but my family encouraged me. When I was chosen to be on America’s Next Top Model, boys’ perceptions about me started to change. I started to look ‘fly’ to them. Now I don’t care about what other people’s opinions are about me. I am a free spirit.  As I started to change and develop into a fresh and fly young woman, the boys started to come on to me.”  Then, Angelea started to noticed she was indeed fly which ultimately gave her the confidence she needed to be successful.  She does not care about what other people’s opinions are. She insists that you must be a free spirit and you don’t need anyone’s attention to feel good about yourself. Her philosophy quickly became,

“If you want to fly with eagles, do not fly with ducks!”

Using its distinctive methodologies, Benchmark applies the newest thinking and research from the groundbreaking Neuroscience of WE™ to address challenges at the critical junction of leadership, culture, and brand. Neuroscience is the fastest growing field of research in the world today, and the key to unlocking the code for success or failure in most workplace relationships – and in turn, results.

Benchmark provides a completely customized, comprehensive solution to improve an organization’s culture, leadership, brand and profitability. First, we identify what the ‘current normal’ is by immersing ourselves in the organization and doing our ‘discovery work’ – providing a fresh eye for where new opportunities can be found. Then, we meet with senior leadership to clarify the objectives they want to achieve. Once we have a clear understanding of where the organization is, and where it wants to go, we set new benchmarks for success – then develop, and implement the plans to ensure they are achieved. The result: higher levels of profitability, expanded market share, and a renewed vision for the future.

When an organization works together to co-create the future, changes take place that create a powerful lift in capacity to achieve audacious goals. A renewed vision for the future emerges and is shared across the organization.

“It was the perfect Saturday morning and “great hair day” weather in July to drive into Manhattan to attend Alycia Kaback’s 1st Annual Women’s Empowerment Summit .  I had been anticipating this event since covering Alycia’s excitingmodeling workshop and photo shoot at Beauty 101 (who was a sponsor of the Summit) inFeasterville, PA in June.  I was confident that this day was going to be as special if not more.

I now get to reveal to you this inspirational feast that nourished my soul and enhanced my spirit.”
