Keynote Speakers

Vernice “FlyGirl” Armour went from beat cop to combat pilot in three years. Within months of earning her wings, she was flying over the deserts of Iraq, supporting our country’s ground forces. After serving two tours overseas, she had become America’s first African –American, female, combat pilot. After returning home, she realized that many other people wanted to create breakthroughs in their own lives, they just didn’t know how. From her experiences, she created a 7-step process called the Zero to Breakthrough™ Success Plan. She now travels extensively sharing this message through her keynotes, coaching and seminars.
