Jenni Morris

Jenni spent years in a career with high stress before completely burning out with health issues at a young age of 24. Seeing this stress epidemic across the USA, she spent the next decade studying with various teachers, experts and coaches internationally to learn how to successfully and fully eliminate the negative effects of stress on both a personal and professional level.

She went to IIN in 2021 and became a certified health coach and has been helping clients all over the world eliminate stress to achieve more success in their careers and lives.

Conférencière en Développement Personnel par le Sport – Kinésithérapeute, Experte en Santé et Bien-être

Passionnée par l’amélioration de la vie personnelle et professionnelle à travers le sport, la nutrition et la gestion du bien-être, je me consacre à aider les individus à retrouver leur équilibre, à se dépasser et à prendre en main leur propre transformation.

Diplômée en kinésithérapie, j’ai exercé pendant plus de cinq ans, dont deux années en accompagnement individuel intensif avec mes patients. Cette expérience m’a permis de voir de près à quel point les souffrances physiques et émotionnelles sont interconnectées. Fascinée par la volonté humaine et notre capacité à transformer nos vies, j'ai complété ma formation avec un master en management de la santé et des certifications en nutrition. Je me suis spécialisée dans l'impact du rythme circadien, de l’alimentation, et de l’activité physique sur la performance et le bien-être global.

En plus de ma carrière de kinésithérapeute, mon parcours personnel a profondément façonné mon approche du développement personnel. Après avoir traversé un burn-out, des troubles alimentaires sévères, et des défis émotionnels, j’ai découvert que le sport pouvait être un moteur puissant de guérison. C’est en me lançant des défis sportifs comme la préparation d’un marathon que j’ai repris le contrôle de ma vie, en retrouvant la santé mentale et physique, tout en réapprenant à m’aimer et à prendre soin de moi.

Aujourd’hui, je partage cette approche lors de conférences dynamiques et inspirantes, où je montre comment chacun peut devenir l’entrepreneur de sa propre vie. Que vous soyez dirigeant, entrepreneur ou simplement en quête de bien-être, je vous aide à dépasser vos limites, à développer votre détermination et à entreprendre des actions concrètes pour améliorer votre vie.

Je crois fermement que, quel que soit votre métier ou vos responsabilités, vous avez le pouvoir d’agir pour transformer votre existence à travers le changement, l’adaptation et la discipline sportive. Mon objectif est de vous transmettre cette vision, et de vous donner les outils pour que vous puissiez créer votre propre version du succès, tant physique que mental.

Thématiques de conférence :

Dépassement de soi et motivation par le sport : Comment le défi sportif peut devenir un levier puissant pour la transformation personnelle.
Gestion du stress et équilibre de vie : Utiliser l’activité physique pour trouver l’harmonie entre vie professionnelle et personnelle.
L’impact du rythme circadien et de la nutrition : Optimiser votre santé et vos performances grâce à une gestion éclairée de votre rythme biologique.
La prise de décision et l’action : Devenir l'entrepreneur de votre propre vie, en instaurant des changements concrets et durables.

Peter Rentrop, MD

Peter Rentrop, MD

Peter Rentrop, MD commemorates two significant anniversaries that have defined his monumental contributions to cardiology: the 45th anniversary of his first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a cornerstone treatment for heart attacks, and the 30th anniversary of the founding of the American Society for Nuclear Cardiology. His groundbreaking work with PCI in 1978 has dramatically enhanced survival rates for heart attack victims globally, marking a significant leap in medical practice.

Born in Cologne, Germany, he has made New York his home after an impressive educational journey through Germany's and America's top institutions, including a vital fellowship in Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic in 1973. These experiences laid the groundwork for his influential career in cardiology worldwide.

He has consistently been at the vanguard of cardiology, initiating significant innovations that have reshaped the management and treatment of heart conditions. His pioneering efforts in 1978 with Percutaneous Interventions for acute myocardial infarction introduced a new era in heart attack management. A year later, he showcased the benefits of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, further establishing his role as a leading figure in cardiac care.

One of his enduring contributions is the "Rentrop Collateral Classification," developed in 1985. This classification system has become a critical tool in cardiac research, helping physicians better understand and treat heart collateral circulation issues.

His innovations extend to medical devices, notably the 0.8mm Spectronetics Laser catheter, which is crucial for removing harmful atherosclerotic buildup in coronary and peripheral arteries. Additionally, his efforts brought Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanning to New York, revolutionizing chronic coronary artery disease diagnosis and treatment by allowing for non-invasive, accurate assessments.

His profound impact goes beyond professional boundaries into philanthropy and community service. He has donated substantial personal earnings, including $8.5 million from patent royalties and years of salary, to ensure disadvantaged urban populations have access to advanced cardiac PET technologies, showcasing his deep commitment to equitable healthcare.

Beyond his medical and philanthropic work, he pursues a well-rounded life, enjoying meditative walking, swimming, chess, and reading. These pursuits reflect his dedication to personal growth and intellectual fulfillment.

Klaus Peter Rentrop, MD's career and philanthropy illustrate a legacy of profound professional impact and deep personal commitment, making him a true inspiration in the medical field and beyond.

Jack Cody Greeley

Jack Cody Greeley

Jack Cody, born on August 8, 1947, in Sterling, Colorado, was a multifaceted individual whose professional and personal life was deeply rooted in his love for chiropractic care, photography, and nature. As the only child of Jerry and Ruth Cody, Jack's early years were filled with close family ties and outdoor adventures that sparked his lifelong appreciation for the natural world. These early experiences, shared with his parents during countless walks and drives, instilled in him a profound connection to the landscapes and wildlife of Colorado.

Educationally, Jack was as dedicated as he was curious. After graduating from Northeastern Junior College in 1967, he pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Education at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, specializing in Special Education by 1969. His passion for learning didn't wane after completing his undergraduate studies; he immediately commenced a Master's program while simultaneously beginning his teaching career.

The late 1970s marked a period of significant personal growth and change for Jack. In 1975, he married his wife from Iran, with whom he temporarily relocated to Iran, enriching his life experiences and broadening his perspective through teaching English abroad. This period also allowed him to indulge in his passion for photography, documenting their travels and experiences. Upon returning to the U.S., the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 1979.

However, despite progressing toward a doctorate in Special Education Administration, Jack felt a yearning for a different professional path. In 1983, this led him to pivot dramatically, applying to and being accepted at the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. This decision was the start of a new chapter in his life, culminating in his graduation in 1986, where he was notably one of the oldest graduates in his class.

After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, Jack returned to Colorado and opened a chiropractic practice in Greeley. He continued to intertwine his professional life with his passion for photography, choosing to write his thesis on the "Sense of Sight through a Photograph." This project underscored his belief in the power of visual perception, both in his chiropractic practice and in his photography, which often focused on capturing the serene and subtle beauty of nature.

Jack's website, "The Sense of Sight through a Photograph," features extensive collections from his adventures, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, from the Rocky Mountains to Mediterranean landscapes.

A devoted family man and grandfather, Jack cherished his time outdoors with his five grandchildren, teaching them to appreciate nature through fishing, camping, and photography. His legacy, enriched by the beauty of his photographic work and the warmth of his family memories, continues to inspire those who knew him.

Jack Cody passed away on October 20, 2021, but he leaves behind a legacy filled with scenic photographs and cherished memories. His family and friends deeply miss him.
