Dave Custance Dave Custance is a native of Steilacoom Washington (sort of) and currently resides in San Pedro California with his Fiancé Kris. If it’s between 6:00 and 8:00am, you’ll probably find him and his VW bus wherever the waves are breaking. If it’s after 8:00 am he’ll be somewhere in Southern California, Arizona or Hawaii making his rounds as a sales rep for a few lines of kitchen cabinetry. If it’s after 8:00 pm he’s probably reading a book or writing one. He’s called “Sunny-D” by some, because it’s been said that he walks on the sunny side of the street. Dave's Website

Kim Ades Kim Ades, MBA, President of Frame of Mind Coaching is one of North America's foremost experts on performance through thought management. By using her unique process of coaching through journaling, she works with companies, management teams and individual clients to unveil and switch their thought patterns to ignite significant change and life transformation. In 1995, Kim founded Upward Motion and is well known for dramatically penetrating the international real estate industry as its President, with a product called the Real Estate Simulator, a web-based assessment tool for the recruitment, selection and training of top performing real estate agents. During that period Kim worked intimately with brokers to help them identify the characteristics, traits and behaviours of individuals who had the potential to be outstanding sales agents. Her expertise in this area makes her one of the industry's foremost experts on performance and success. As a result of her years of study and data analysis, and literally working with thousands of sales professionals, she has discovered that while top performers have a variety of different personality traits and execute different strategies to acquire their success, there really is only one substantial difference between top performers and others -- their Frame of Mind. Kim designed the Frame of Mind Coaching program to provide her clients with a supportive infrastructure where they could develop the skill of deliberate thought. Kim understands that the single greatest difference between those people who are stratospherically successful and everyone else is their THINKING. She knows that we all have the propensity to shift our thinking and achieve success. The foundation for creating Frame of Mind Coaching lies in Kim's ardent belief in journaling as the absolutely most effective and profound vehicle to make substantive and lasting changes in your life and career. As such, Kim and her team at Frame of Mind Coaching created a groundbreaking software application for on-line journaling called JournalEngine Software, that allows everyone to experience the significant benefits of journaling. Since its creation, it has been part of the driving force behind the online success at Frame of Mind. She is also a regular contributor to a series of national publications, including Choice magazine, RISMedia's National Real Estate and Relocation Magazine, Real Estate Professional Magazine, and is a recognized speaker for ICF, IAC and ICA, to name a few. She is known by her peers as an elite expert around sales and relationships, recently validated by being recognized as one of North America's Top 50 most influential women in Real Estate. Kim is recognized for her warmth, her passion and her instinctive talent for seeing the strengths of her clients and helping them live the lives they have dreamed of. She resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with her husband and 5 incredible children. Frame of Mind Coaching
