Who AM I?

     That is a deep question which would involve a one-on-one conversation, so will you be satisfied with me sharing what I have accomplished thus far in this short-span called my life!

      It is said that I, Toni G. Boehm, am an inspirational and dynamic speaker, author, minister, and a darn good coach (I am certified as an organization and life coach  (PCC/ICF).

Add to that list, a nurse, poet, and that I am known for my passionate teaching style and expert facilitation of classes on personal empowerment and transformation -- and wow -- you got to admit that sounds good! 

        For more than 20 years I had the priviledge of serving at the world headquarters of Unity®, Unity Village, MO., full-time from 1987 until 2006.

But, alas all good things must end, and especially when one gets the nudge from Spirit and is willing to listen. So now, I am what you might call a free-lancer, in sacred service to the expansion of conscious awareness through spiritual teachings and practical application tools, coaching as a organization and  life-coach and facilitator of all types of classes and workshops.   

Not too long ago, I was appointed as the national director for Intentional Ministry/Peace-Making, Unity Worldwide Movement (UWM). I still serve as adjunct faculty in the Spiritual Enrichment & Education Program at Unity Institute, and as an executive management coach for a large hospital system here in Kansas City.  
     
        As if this makes any difference, but I know there are some to whom it will so here goes -- I hold certifications as a Peace Maker and Transitional Consultant, a Spiritual Intelligence Coach, Healthy Congregation facilitator and coach, ICF certified organization and life coach -- to name a few.  As a consultant for UWM I did research on the best standards of practice for ministries, and the research is included in The Thriving Ministry Model of Unity program.
     
      During my career -- which is comprised of many years -- I held various and sundry executive positions. At Unity I was: Dean of Administration/Unity School of Religious Studies; Director/Strategic Initiatives; Vice President/ Education; Vice President/Retreats; and a member of Unity’s Executive Leadership Team. I have had my own alternative ministry -- Awakening Awareness -- 20 over years. 

In what feels like my youth, but was really just a decade or two ago I was elected for two terms of service -- during my nursing career -- by my peers to a Director seat on the Missouri State Board of Nursing. I served for several years on the Unity School Executive Leadership Team board and is a consultant to the Board of Madonna Ministries International.

Throughout the years I have mentored and coached nearly one hundred church boards regarding ministry issues and have spoken at over 260 Unity ministries.

Yes, I have taught, internationally (had to say that someone will be interested in knowing.

       I love to teach and facilitate classes and seminars -- on subjects such as self-empowerment and transformation, prosperity, leadership skill development, and Transformation Coaching©.

        They say I introduce the participants to the knowledge and skills necessary for living their lives from their highest innate potential.  I am clear about my life work and mission which is:

“I am a midwife for the birthing of the soul’s remembrance."                       
       For those of you who like credentials -- get ready, for I have a list of them -- a Bachelor of Arts in Health Care Education, Masters of Science in Nursing, Ph. D. in Religious Studies, and ordained as a Unity minister (1989). I am also a Family Nurse Practitioner. 

    Prior to joining the staff as dean at Unity School for Religious Studies, I served in the Kansas City area as senior staff specialist for accreditation and certification for the American Nurses Association, and as manager, in the medical and wellness department at Hallmark Cards, Inc.

Are we done yet? I, myself just took a breath and wondered when this will be complete -- and there are those who really enjoy looking at all this so I want to oblige!

Now, this part is really impressive -- I am past recipient of University of Missouri’s, Woman's Council Award for Research and am listed in Marquis' Who's Who in American Women and Who’s Who in America. And let us not forget that my master's thesis on Stress Management was selected for presentation at John Hopkins annual Medical and Nursing Symposium.

Oh, did I mention that I happen to be a prolific author. Yes, there are numerous published articles and the following seven books:

*The Spiritual Intrapreneur        *One Day My Mouth Just            Opened  

 *Luminous Darkness                *Embracing the Feminine              Nature of the Divine

*The Power of YES!                 *The Power of “BE!”     

*Conscious “Living” 

Who AM I really? I would say that I am an expression and presence of the "Living" Spirit of Truth -- a devoted student of the original writings and teachings of Charles Fillmore -- and a teacher of the principles of a "Living" Truth. So, please, in regards to all of that stuff written above -- please know that I would rather be known for this simple little paragraph!
