Supermodel, actress, fitness expert, and author Kim Alexis Supermodel, actress, fitness expert, and author Kim Alexis is part of an elite team of models who rose to the “supermodel” status in the 1980s. Kim’s career started when she was discovered at 17 by a Buffalo agency. She moved to New York City and received a remarkably positive response from the fashion and beauty industries. Although she did runway and fashion, she became known for her work in beauty. Kim could be seen repeatedly on magazine covers and had over 500 worldwide including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and set the cover record for Glamour. In 1983, she replaced Lauren Hutton as the face of Revlon’s Ultima II line becoming one of the most recognizable faces in America. She rounded out her supermodel status by being in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for 6 years, which made perfect sense, given Kim is the picture of a healthy woman and grew up swimming in Lockport. Kim transitioned into broadcasting by becoming the fashion editor for Good Morning America. She then went on to host TV shows such as “Your Mind and Body”, “Healthy Kids” and “Ticket to Adventure”. Her most recent hosting roles include “Food Quest” on Food Network and “She’s Got the Look” on TV Land. She also appeared in the film “ Holy Man ”, alongside Eddie Murphy. Kim also had a memorable guest spot in the final episode of the sitcom “ Cheers ”, titled “One for the Road”. Most recently she was one of the models featured in HBO’s documentary “About Face”, which draws a parallel conversation with supermodels of many different generations about what made them relevant and what has changed since then. After her modeling career, using what she learned from the business, she also penned books. These include the nonfiction book “A Model for a Better Future” and a fictional book, “Beauty to Die For”. She has written five eBooks: “Modeling: How to be Discovered”, “Lean Clean”, “Cheat Eat”, “My Healthy Thyroid” and “Dieting Lessons” which can be found on Amazon. Known for her background in sports and her continuous healthy life style, Kim has run in 8 marathons and was a spokesperson for the New York City Marathon and the More magazine half marathon. She has been associated with the promotion of several health products, supplements and causes. Kim never let herself be misled by other people’s influences and remained true to her upbringing and beliefs. An outspoken conservative, Alexis was one of the few models of her time who refused to pose for nude pictures and has always advocated for a healthy, spiritually connected way of living. She raised three sons and continues to work toward her life goal: encouraging other women to be their best in all areas of life.

Sports Performance Expert: The Champion’s CODE Ross Bernstein Sports Performance Expert: The Champion’s CODE Ever wonder why certain teams win consistently, whereas others come up short? Ross explains WHY — in an engaging, high energy, and visually entertaining style that’s designed to improve YOUR organization’s productivity, morale, and bottom-line profitability… The best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, Ross Bernstein is an award-winning business speaker who helps companies and organizations perform more like CHAMPIONS. Ross and his books have been featured on thousands of television and radio programs over the past 20 years, including CNN, MSNBC, CBS This Morning, FOX News, Bloomberg, ESPN, Sports Illustrated and the CBC, as well as in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, L.A. Times, USA Today, and Maxim Magazine. Ross’ signature program, “The Champion’s Code: Life Lessons of Ethics & Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World,” is based on more than six years of research that resulted in two critically acclaimed series of sports-business books. The first examines how and why certain teams win world championships; while the other chronicles the unwritten and unspoken rules in the world of sports, or “codes” as they are known, which explores the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship — and the consequences involved when that line is crossed. Ross interviewed more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches for the six books and along the way he saw some fascinating patterns, metrics and trends develop among certain individuals who possessed a very unique DNA. For these unique individuals, or “champions,” it wasn’t always about winning, it was about following their moral compass in order to play the game the right way — with respect and integrity — in order to achieve success. In his presentation, Ross identifies upwards of 100 unique characteristics and traits that are common among champions, which he then ties into poignant life lessons and inspirational stories that relate back to his client’s event theme and desired learner outcomes. Based largely on the “Good to Great” ideology of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through dynamic leadership and extraordinary customer service, Ross’ program reinforces the concept that individuals win games, but TEAMS win championships. Momentum, roles, buy-in, motivation, consistency, sacrifice, trust, chemistry, work-ethic, innovation, karma, and being humble — they’re all a part of what it takes to become the best of the best — a champion both on and off the field. So… who are the champions in your organization? Let Ross customize a keynote (from one to six hours) to kick off your next annual conference, corporate event, or sales meeting — his PASSION and energy is contagious and he’d LOVE to be a member of YOUR team for the day!
