Winner of the Category: Radio Personality-Personal Growth Sam Parrotto Sam Parrotto, Host of Expedition Self Sam Parrotto is the founder and CEO of BeingWorks – an organizational development company designed to create internal change both for the corporate culture and business operation, as well as all individuals within it. Her ability to help people look inward and honestly at themselves has translated into unparalleled and revolutionary transformation for her clients.

Here she teaches people how to master the process of Growthwork, to go inside Self and recreate the inner relationship into a more collaborative, available, and self-leading way of empowering Life itself. ​ https://www.expeditionself.com/ Her Story Over her 40-year career, she specialized in relationship building, communication, leadership, and personal power. Recipients of her facilitation in these areas can use these skillsets to manifest more constructive and welcoming internal and external environments. Her client companies have unquestionably ‘grown up’ because of her insights into the nature of being human. ​ Sam Parrotto is particularly adept at breaking down the most challenging self-growth foes: resistance, self-protection, and ‘ego-driven’ environments that silently plague our offices, our home lives, and internal dialogues. Her approach has brought the idea of personal mastery as the source of professional competency and individual vibrancy to many who’ve participated in her group work. ​ Always ahead of her time, Sam began her questioning of LIFE at the age of 5, exploring deep and essential concepts commonly pushed away: loneliness, nothingness, death, truth, love, and strength. She passionately created and implemented the use of life-altering Self Development Models and started her first transformational business in her early 20s. ​ Her entire adult life has been dedicated to working with, studying, and researching the nature of the human experience. It is excited to announce the release of her first book in 2022 to join her already prolific offerings in the self-growth domain. ​ Sam Parrotto brings the full power of her human journey with every offer. Humbled by the kaleidoscopic and often unsettling experience Life has offered, she believes that every person’s story arc should be celebrated and investigated rather than just unconsciously occupied. Oh, and she delights in all things tiny, color in every hue, particularly purple, troll dolls, rocks, and the creative process.

Lifetimes Achievement Award & Ommiewood Hall of Fame John Holland J ohn Holland Author of "Bridging Two Realms : Learn To Communicate With Your Loved Ones On The Other-Side" ​ John is no ordinary man! Even as a child, he didn’t have a conventional childhood. It was as though Spirit had already singled him out and mapped his future. Over the decades, he has devoted himself to both his personal and spiritual development, and as a result, he’s become one of the most respected psychic mediums and spiritual teachers on the world stage today. John takes his work seriously and treats it with the utmost integrity and respect. As he says: “If I can help people connect with someone on the Other-Side – by linking with the Spirit World – to bring peace, comfort, and perhaps some closure, or if I can help you understand and tap into your own inner guidance (psychic intuition) for answers, then I truly feel that I’ve done my job.” ​ John was born with an inner sense of knowing – knowing that he was the different one in the family. Events molded his early days, as he quickly learned to deal with the power of his intuitive nudges and accepted the beginnings of his psychic awakenings, which had already started influencing events. For him, they quickly became normal. ​ He received confirmation of his special psychic abilities after a near-fatal automobile accident when he was 30 years old. The shock to his system amplified his psychic skills and brought them to the surface. This was clearly a turning point, and there was no going back! He has often referred to this intense incident in his life as “His Wake–Up Call!” ​ https://johnholland.com/ ​ ​ John sees his role as two-fold. He loves to educate and considers himself a spiritual teacher as much as a practicing medium, whereby he offers a rare insight into the actual mechanics of mediumship. During his demonstrations, he explains, every step of the way, how he links with the spirit and the different forms of communication, illustrating the words and images that the spirit uses to send messages through him – as a Spirit Messenger. John passionately believes that his job as a psychic medium and spiritual teacher is not only to help those connect with their loved ones but, just as importantly, to empower everyone to follow their own spiritual journey. Often, for those who lose a loved one, it can cause them to question their own beliefs about life after death. As a spiritual teacher, John can help you to tap into your intuitive psychic abilities to discover and recognize the signs and symbols associated with your loved ones who have passed on.

Lifetimes Achievement Award & Ommiewood Hall of Fame Jason De Caires Taylor Transformational Artist and Earth Activist Jason deCaires Taylor MRSS, born in 1974 to an English father and a Guyanese mother, is a sculptor, environmentalist, and professional underwater photographer. He graduated from the London Institute of Arts in 1998 with a BA Honours in Sculpture. Taylor became the first of a new generation of artists to shift the concepts of the Land art movement into the realm of the marine environment. ​ His permanent site-specific sculptural works are predominately exhibited in submerged and tidal marine environments, exploring modern themes of conservation and environmental activism. Over the past 16 years, Taylor has been one of the first to consider the underwater realm as a public art space and is best known for his numerous large-scale underwater “Museums” and “Sculpture Parks”. Taylor gained international recognition in 2006 with the creation of the world’s first underwater sculpture park, situated off the west coast of Grenada in the West Indies. Moilinere Bay Underwater Sculpture Park is now listed as one of the Top 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic. The park was instrumental in the government declaring the site a National Marine Protected Area. Taylor has gone on to produce over 1,100 public terrestrial and underwater sculptures worldwide, which are visited by thousands of visitors each week. ​ https://www.underwatersculpture.com/ ​ ​ Environment, Art, and Activism ​ In this current heightened climate of global environmental awareness, a new form of art that maintains aesthetics (in a traditional sense) but is also conceptually-based, aims to raise awareness of the broad health of the environment or highlight specific concerns. Building on the foundations laid out by the Land Artists, a new generation of artists has emerged that place environmentalism at the forefront of their practice, each with unique concerns and ways of addressing these concerns to draw the attention of the viewer. The art of Jason deCaires Taylor is situated within this emerging environmental paradigm of art, taking the viewer to the depths of the ocean. ​ For sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor, the ocean is more than a muse, it is an exhibition space and a museum. Taylor creates sculptures of human forms and mundane life on land and sinks them to the bottom of the ocean, where they are subsumed by the sea, transforming inert stone into vibrant habitats for corals, crustaceans and other creatures. The result: enigmatic, disturbing and colorful comments on our transitory existence, on the sacredness of the ocean and its impressive power of regeneration.

Category: Original & Groundbreaking Is Your Book Creative, Innovative, or Original? ​ Creativity and Innovation are commonly confused terms, despite being intimately linked. Creativity is the step prior to Innovation. Creativity refers to the ability to generate new and valuable ideas. Innovation is tied to the ability to implement it. Creativity is inspiration, while Innovation and groundbreaking are actions. We believe that what differentiates us from geniuses or "originals," such as Einstein, Mozart, and Martin Luther King, are not just ideas of quality but more ideas (quantity)!
