Several leading members of the Bishop TD Jakes led Potter's House, one of the largest and most prominent churches in the United States, is scheduled to lead a praise-and-worship session on Saturday, June 27, at the Jamaica Conference Centre in downtown Kingston.

This is one of the major highlights for the First Steps to Success (FSTS) event being put on by Entrepreneur and Success Coach, Natalie Taylor Lue-Fung's Wealth Improvement Network (WIN).

According to Taylor Lue-Fung, "The event is a holistic and engaging experience designed to guide young people through the formative years of their professional lives, from preparation for post-secondary education to developing a personal brand and landing their dream job as well as starting over in a new career field. It will provide youths and young adults access to information and systems that will enable them to increase their opportunities for creating and ensuring physical, spiritual and financial realms of success."

With activities scheduled to kick off promptly at 9 a.m., with registration starting at 8 a.m., organisers noted that the day will be filled with large and small group seminars where local and international speakers will inform, motivate and inspire patrons on topics specific to a variety of career and business endeavours.

Among the speakers are prominent Dermatologist Dr Patricia Yapp, inner-city success story businessman Ian 'Container' Miles, international Jamaican footballers Ricardo 'Bibi' Gardener and Luton Shelton.

Taylor Lue-Fung in championing the importance of the event stated that, "The challenges that we face locally oftentimes lead to a pessimistic outlook on the foreseeable future. The perceived reality that ensues leaves us overwhelmed, feeling constrained and unenthused."

She added, "FSTS aims to combat this limited view of success and will produce an environment to affect change and shift these paradigms in our youth and young adult groups. Exposure to positive images and concepts of success, as well as practical training shapes the way our young people think, act and ultimately the results they produce."

Several local and international artistes are set to perform in the evening at the event that costs $1,500 for admission. Additionally, a range of local businesses will be on hand to offer attendees deals on products and services.
