I have recently come to the realization that I was destined to be involved in the entertainment industry!  Everything in my life so far has led to that fact.  I am a champion amateur boxer: I am currently the Golden Gloves Champion and I am looking to turn professional in the future.
I plan on breaking into the sports broadcasting industry as an announcer and a commentator.
I am currently writing as a boxing consultant and I have been ring announcing on professional boxing cards as well as hosting different television shows. I have appeared on camera in millions of homes in the Tri-State Area as a reporter about New York City life and hopefully soon I will be seen all over the world!
I am also a talented actress improving every day.  My dream job would be to be in an action movie where I can do really cool stunts and fight scenes.  I would love to be the next big female action star, kind of like Jean-Claude Van Damme, only feminine and prettier!

2005
I consider myself to be an artist -- a storyteller. Whether I am the creator of the image or its subject, whether I write the story or play it out, it's all the same. So although began as a painter, and later trained in graphic design, it seemed just as natural in the Spring of 2005 to head in a different direction and take up modeling and acting. In a short four months I had quit my day job and now, two months after that, I am a co-host on a nationally syndicated TV program, my face can be found in magazines and TV commercials, I represent 3 major corporations as a 1050 ESPN/Miller Lite/Jets 10 ½ Girl, and I am working on three independent films. And I?m only getting started. I won?t reveal all my secrets, but I've also got some big surprises for the music industry. Forget about triple threats ' this rocker chick has more facets than you can count.

Rock on!

Even though my background and hard work had opened many doors for me in life - it seemed that I was not focused enough on what I was pursuing career-wise. To put it bluntly I had not the slightest clue on what to do with my life.
Even though I received offers from prestigious employers in the finance industry I sometimes still doubted myself whether I was capable.

Only slowly did I become aware of inherent gender roles. Realizing I could not achieve certain career goals in the way men did. And I found that good looks as a woman could often cause more headaches than be a blessing. I became increasingly insecure as how to set my goals and handle awkward situations with men.

This insecurity extremely aggravated when I first came to New York.

But through a lucky coincidence I met Stefano Spadoni who has been my trusted guide ever since. Because of him I eliminated my insecurities and instead feel I can conquer the world if I only want to.
 
Among countless life lessons Stefano has shown me that:
- Women are far more capable than they think they are. Helping me understand why we always undervalue ourselves has broken boundaries that don't hinder me anymore to reach for the stars.
- I have to put myself first. Be loving, but only to those that deserve it ˆ I realized how much time and  effort I spent on giving and how little I was receiving in return.

In this short time Stefano has become not only my coach but also my close friend. I know I can trust him and he is just amazing in the effort he puts in observing me and evaluating how I interact with my environment.
Everyone who receives advice from Stefano will have a completely different story to tell because all the advice he gives is precisely tailor-made for each woman

It is breath-taking to witness how a small change in mind-set can
create a storm that turns your life upside down. Thank you Stefano for opening my eyes and letting me strut through life like a princess.

Gesche H.

My friends define me as "globetrotter with brains".
 
Born in Africa, lived in Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong and  New York & being of Euroasian heritage has provided me with unlimited opportunities to broaden my horizons.

Successfully receiving numerous scholarships and academic awards had opened many doors for me in the international financial world.
 
Beyond studying, I enjoy modeling so much partly because of the diversity of people I meet during jobs.

Stefano Spadoni is a big, big name in my life and I would like to thank him very much because every time I had problem, or I did not know where to do, what to do or what to think, he was the one that was always standing next to me. Either it was modeling or acting, he always gave me the best advice for my career and his consulting was very, very helpful for me.

His book What Men Don't Want You to know is an amazing book that you definitively should read because it gives you guidance in your life, and a lot of advice about how not getting hurt.
