Andrea Samadi
 Andrea started her career as a middle school teacher in Toronto, Canada, when suddenly the direction of her life changed forever. It was a chance meeting with a neighbor, that inspired her passion for personal development and youth leadership, and led her to a very unique path of self-discovery with motivational speaker, Bob Proctor, teacher from the popular movie The Secret. After a few years of promoting the popular SGR Seminar (a seminar that was based on the book that inspired Rhonda Byrne to create the movie The Secret) she became the Executive Director and Board Member of Bob Proctor’s Youth Mentor International. It was here that she began to work with these amazing paradigm-shifting concepts with youth, and watched over 500 young adults skyrocket their results to ground breaking levels. Working hand in hand with Bob Proctor and these youth changed the course of her life forever, and her well thought out goals very quickly became reality! In 2001, Andrea co-authored the book Living in Harmony by Natural Law (a book that helps people use the Law of Attraction and many others to life a more balanced life) after being coached and mentored by many of the teachers you see featured in the movie The Secret. She took her own personal goals to the next level when she moved to Phoenix, AZ, in 2001 to pursue her dreams. She experienced some set backs, and unforeseen events caused her to have to start at the bottom of the totem pole, but with the concepts she learned from Bob Proctor, she was able to take her income from less than $20,000/year to over $100,000. She did this by staying focused on her goal, visualizing, maintaining a positive attitude and most importantly, putting in the effort and time to complete her goals. She even picked up the book she co-authored, to help her regain her course. She did learn from spending time with leaders in personal development, that everyone gets knocked off course from time to time, and it’s the winners that know how to get back on track! In 2002, Andrea wrote the Mentoring Excellence Now Program and began coaching hundreds of youth on an International basis. In 2006, Andrea’s own mentoring program Mentoring Excellence Now won an award with the Easter Seals Foundation in Toronto, Canada, as she took over 100 youth with physical disabilities through a series of leadership lessons to assist them to make an impact with their lives and futures. Andrea inspires everyone she meets to reach for higher ground and everyone who comes in contact with her will be urged to grow and learn more about themselves and the impact they plan to make on this world during their lifetime. She knows that life is truly about the path, not the destination and reminds everyone to enjoy exactly where they are at this moment, in order for them to move ahead towards their dreams and desires that are there waiting for them; if only they can persist through the challenges. Andrea Samadi is currently an employee at Pearson Education, where she matches software solutions to middle school and high schools to assist youth to complete their schooling with excellence in order to pursue their dreams. There is much more on the horizon, but her main goals would be in the areas of youth and self-esteem. When the movie The Secret swept the world with such an incredible movement in the personal development industry, she knew that it was time to publish the ideas that she had used so successfully with youth for the past 10 years. The Secret for Teens Revealed began in her mind when she first worked with youth with Bob Proctor, and now the finalized version, after 12 years of study is available to help parents, teachers and teenagers inspire leadership and transform their lives. Andrea is also currently launching The Teen Performance Magazine where successful celebrity teens and youth motivators, help inspire young people through How-To type articles with their nuggets of success that will help to inspire the average teen. This magazine has attracted teen millionaire Cameron Johnson, Secret Teacher, Lisa Nichols and many more, to join forces to help inspire young people.
