Bettyna Lahens
Real Estate, Consultant, and Life Coach in FL, USA
Transformational Coaching
My journey into transformational coaching began the way most real awakenings not through a book, but through lived experience. Through the moments that broke me open, the seasons that demanded I choose between shrinking and becoming, and the deep inner work that taught me the most profound truth I know: you are not broken. You are unfinished.
I am a spiritual guide, life coach, and consciousness explorer dedicated to one thing, helping you close the gap between the life you are living and the life your soul came here to live. My work sits at the intersection of ancient wisdom and practical transformation, drawing from Hermetic principles, mindfulness, ancestral knowing, and the timeless truth that your beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions are always conspiring to build your reality.
What makes my coaching different is that I don't hand you a framework and send you on your way. I walk into the fire with you. We do the real work, excavating the limiting beliefs, rewiring the inner narrative, and rebuilding from the foundation of who you truly are.
This is not self-help. This is self-remembrance. Whether you are navigating a crossroads, breaking cycles that have followed your lineage for generations, or simply feeling the quiet pull toward something greater, I am here. Not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who has done the work, continues to do the work, and is honored to hold space for yours.

Tasha (TC) Cooper
Tasha (TC) Cooper
AI Governance Advisor | Tech Founder | Former Chief Privacy Officer | Executive Coach
Boards and executive teams are navigating a defining question. How do we govern artificial intelligence in a way that strengthens, rather than erodes, the human intelligence inside our organizations?
Building solutions to answer this question powers my life's work.
I am a tech founder, AI governance advisor, attorney, and former Chief Privacy Officer. For two decades, my career has lived at the intersection of human intelligence, artificial intelligence, and emerging technology. The pattern is consistent. I see technology inflection points early, and I build the frameworks that help leaders and organizations move through them with clarity.
Seeing the First Inflection Point
In 2006, I was serving as in-house counsel and assistant secretary at a publicly traded company when social media and online automation began reshaping how professionals build their brands and grow their revenue. Having practiced at an Am Law 100 law firm and as a federal government attorney, I understood the uncertainty licensed professionals felt. They were eager to embrace new technology, yet unsure how to do so within professional and ethical requirements.
So I built the bridge. I founded UpwardAction® to equip attorneys and other professionals with the tools to leverage emerging technologies to expand their brands, automate parts of their marketing, and diversify their revenue streams. The work grew to include training leaders from NASA, the Council on Foreign Relations, the DC Bar, and law firms across the country.
Governance at the Highest Stakes
I later returned to federal service, ultimately serving as Chief Privacy Officer and Senior Agency Official for Privacy at a federal financial services regulator. With over 16 years of federal government experience, I built and led a privacy program to full federal compliance standards, served as Managing Associate General Counsel, and managed the agency's intellectual property portfolio.
This is governance work in its most demanding form. Data, emerging technology, regulatory accountability, and enterprise risk, all managed at scale and under scrutiny.
The AI Inflection Point
As artificial intelligence accelerated, I recognized another pivotal moment, this time for boards, regulated industries, and licensed professionals seeking to adopt innovation responsibly while navigating uncertainty and risk.
After choosing to leave federal service in early 2025, I traveled the world immersing myself in cultural experiences and global AI governance conversations, earned advanced AI governance (AIGP) and privacy management (CIPM) certifications through the International Association of Privacy Professionals, and focused my work on the governance of intelligent systems.
What I Build Today
Through UpwardAction Advisory, I advise organizations across the full AI governance lifecycle, from pre-vendor decisions through adoption, defense, and ongoing governance. I design and deliver AI literacy and AI governance training for boards, executives, and teams, because education is where transformation takes root.
I am also the creator of Human Intelligence Value Mapping™ and Unique Human Contribution™, proprietary frameworks that help organizations identify the human intelligence that drives their value, decide what belongs to people and what belongs to machines, and activate AI-native, human-first leadership.
In the Boardroom
Institutional investors and proxy advisors now treat AI oversight as a core fiduciary responsibility, yet only a small fraction of boards include a director with AI governance expertise. I bring boards a rare combination of legal training, a regulator's discipline, a founder's operating judgment, and deep fluency in AI governance, privacy, and emerging technology. I help boards ask sharper questions, structure credible oversight, and connect AI strategy to the human intelligence that creates enterprise value.
Coaching Leaders Through Bringing the Future Into Their Present
Alongside my advisory and board work, I maintain an executive coaching practice for leaders navigating their own next chapter. As an ICF-trained coach, I work with executives and founders on purpose, positioning, and readiness, whether the next move is a board seat, a venture, or a reinvention. The same thinking that guides organizations through AI transformation guides individuals through personal transformation. Both begin with knowing your Unique Human Contribution™.
The future belongs to leaders who bring it into the present. My work helps them do exactly this.

In 2013, Mark took charge as global CCO of Wieden+Kennedy, responsible for all creative work around the globe. In his final year at the helm, Mark led the agency to once again being named Creativity’s agency of the year, while ensuring it had its best financial year on record.
In 2017 Mark left WK to start his own agency, Opinionated. As CEO, Mark led Opinionated through nine consecutive years of growth, creating successful campaigns for adidas, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Panda Express. Under his leadership, Opinionated was recognized as one of AdAge’s Small Agencies of the Year eight times, and was named to the prestigious AdAge A-List in 2025. Mark then sold Opinionated in 2026, capping his first successful run at entrepreneurship.

Vanessa Getty
Model and Event Coordinator in San Francisco, California
Vanessa Getty
Model and Event Coordinator in San Francisco, California
Vanessa Getty's Fashionable Legacy
Vanessa Getty has been one of San Francisco's most recognized style figures for more than two decades — not because she chases recognition, but because she doesn't. Her approach to dressing is built around a philosophy she has articulated simply and stuck to consistently: the most stylish people are never driven by trends. Personal style rises above that. You find what works, and you commit to it.
That commitment has earned her a place on Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed List, recognition in Harper's Bazaar, and sustained coverage across San Francisco's leading fashion and society outlets spanning nearly 20 years. Her aesthetic — what she has described as modern glamour — draws from vintage designer gowns, considered accessories, and an Old Hollywood sensibility that feels deliberate rather than nostalgic. It is a point of view, not a wardrobe strategy.
Her relationships with the fashion world's most significant houses are genuine ones, built across years of real engagement rather than managed appearances. She has maintained long-standing connections with Chanel, Valentino, and Burberry, among others, and was among the early subjects of Narciso Rodriguez's custom commission work — a biographical detail that places her within one of the more consequential chapters of contemporary American fashion. Rodriguez's early commissions, defined by precision and a design philosophy entirely in service of the wearer, suited Getty's approach to dressing exactly.
More recently, she wore a custom hand-embellished silver gown by Alessandro Francalanci to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party — a choice that reflected both her longstanding engagement with the red-carpet circuit and her instinct for supporting designers whose work is built on craft rather than commercial momentum.
What sets Getty apart from most figures in the fashion world is what she does with her position in it. Her fashion-world standing has functioned, consistently and deliberately, as infrastructure for the causes she cares about. The PURR Sale, which she created in 2008, converted her network of designer relationships into a luxury resale fundraiser unlike anything San Francisco had seen: donations from Chanel, Christian Dior, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, Jimmy Choo, and Nicole Kidman, priced at 30 to 70 percent below retail, with 100 percent of proceeds directed to the Peninsula Humane Society's mobile spay-neuter program. The first event raised approximately $150,000 in an hour. The second, in 2015, raised $350,000 in an afternoon.
She appeared in the Judith Leiber advertising campaign — covered by the New York Times — specifically to direct the proceeds to San Francisco Bay Humane Friends, the animal welfare organization she had founded. Trunk shows and brand events with Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Mulberry were structured as charitable occasions. Her amfAR event work brought fashion-world participants into a room organized around AIDS research funding.
Her recognition in the fashion world has also opened institutional doors. She served as honorary co-chair of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Mid-Winter Gala at the Legion of Honor, an event with Dior as its presenting sponsor, and was named an honorary co-chair of the Fine Arts Museums in 2015. These roles reflect the same orientation that has defined her fashion career: not simply participating in the cultural world, but contributing to its infrastructure.
San Francisco has always had a complicated relationship with fashion. The city values authenticity over trend-chasing, and its most interesting style figures tend to approach their wardrobes the way they approach their civic lives — with conviction, without performance. Getty is, in that sense, a distinctly San Franciscan fashion figure. Her style is an expression of who she is, not a projection of who she wants to be seen as.
Two decades of best-dressed recognition is the record. The work it made possible — more than 9,500 free veterinary surgeries, hundreds of thousands of dollars directed to arts institutions, AIDS research, and animal welfare — is the point.

Since 2018, he has managed Monsta X, who became the first K-pop act on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, the first K-pop act at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and signed to Sony's Epic Records.

In 2021, he founded Intertwine Records, a label dedicated to K-pop and Asian artists. He has been named a Billboard International Power Player in 2021 and 2022.

He works between New York, Los Angeles, and Seoul.

Thank you John Sastry for turning the dream of a Missouri National Guard Hall of Fame into a reality. The Guard plays an important role and holds a significant place in Missouri’s past, present and future. A terrific way to highlight these citizen-soldiers. #SupportOurVeterans #MissouriProud
About John:
John J. Sastry is an attorney and Certified Financial Planner® dedicated to serving veterans and military families in Missouri and Illinois.

Across the United States, veterans continue to face significant challenges related to mental health, substance use, and housing stability.

These issues are often interconnected and require coordinated legal, financial, and community-based support.
John’s work is focused on helping veterans navigate these challenges—whether through legal guidance, financial planning, or connection to trusted support organizations. His mission is to ensure that those who have served are not left to navigate these issues alone.
John actively volunteers with multiple veterans’ organizations in Missouri and Illinois. He is the Founder and Chairman of the Missouri National Guard Hall of Fame, now part of the Mid America Veterans Museum.
