Rita Schiano

I am a resilience strategist and founder of Live A Flourishing Life™. As a former corporate vice-president and small business owner, my leadership knowledge, strategies, and insights draw from both sides of the aisle. As a speaker and featured presenter, my goal is always to leave my audiences in a motivated and inspired frame of mind.

I am the author of several books, including Live A Flourishing Life, a stress management and resilience-building process workbook; the critically-acclaimed, semi-autobiograph- ical novel Painting The Invisible Man, and Sweet Bitter Love and articles for The Huffington Post / AOL Healthy Living, the Worcester Business Journal, and Self-Growth.com, and guest blogger for Psychology Today.

I am an adjunct professor at Bay Path University where I teach Philosophy, Leadership, and Stress Management courses. I am proud to be a Professional Member of the National Speakers Association, as well as the New England Chapter of the National Speakers Association.

In July 2015, I was certified as a non-denominational ministerial marriage officiant by the ULC.
