Timothy Moore

Timothy Moore

Hello. I'm Tim. It has been a long strange trip to my becoming a motivational-inspirational speaker. I have always loved speaking with people either one-on-one or in groups. As an IT Professional for over 36 years, I have had to interact with many different types of people in many different industries doing many different things. I have spoken in church both informally and as a Lay Minister in the Methodist and Disciples of Christ denominations. I am also an Adjunct Instructor at a local community college and a local university.

I have always thought that my life was pretty normal. After I graduated from college and entered the "real world" I came to understand that my life had some twists and turns. I came to realize that I have suffered from depression and anxiety since childhood. It really didn't effect me until I became a father. I subconsciously decided to place my wife's happiness and my son's happiness before my own. When my son was almost 7, I had a mental break that caused me to seek help. I have learned, to a certain extent, what was causing mental issues and how to deal with them. I have had to seek help when things happened in my life to help make sense and be able to handle things well.

Recently my professional career has taken a downturn. I was working for a consulting company with government contracts. When government began reforming spending my contract was effected and I lost my position along with many of my colleagues. I expected to find another position but soon discovered that the IT market had changed and employers were very particular in what they were looking for. I do not have some of the experiences they are looking for and thus was not being consider for positions.

So I decided to pivot and focus and over skills I have. Namely speaking about my experiences in life, giving inspirational messages and helping people along with life. I also speak about spiritual matters and how they relate to society today.

The attendees of your conference, retreat, annual meeting, gathering, or event will be uplifted, encouraged and have their confidence increased.

Kyle McGuire

Kyle McGuire

Kyle McGuire is a healthcare operations executive and leadership coach, and founder of Dogwood Enterprises, a consulting firm that helps medical and allied health practices build operations that work for patients and for the people who care for them.

Kyle's career began on the clinical floor. He worked as a medical assistant and then as a DAANCE-certified oral surgery assistant before moving into operations and HR management, and that perspective shapes everything he teaches: decisions made in the boardroom land on the clinical team first.

Most recently, Kyle served as Chief Operating Officer of a 12-location oral and maxillofacial surgery group in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. There, he led the design and launch of the group's prosthodontics and dental lab divisions, and built an accredited continuing education program that enrolled more than 100 practices. He was a regular presenter on its practice management webinar series, covering compensation plans, revenue cycle management, onboarding, performance management, and team building.

Along the way, Kyle came to believe that the healthiest patients come from the healthiest practices. When a care team is cohesive and cared for, patients feel it. When a practice shows up for its community, the community shows up for it. It's all reciprocal, and it's the conviction behind everything he builds.

Kyle works with practice owners and leadership teams as an executive coach and fractional operations leader: with medical and allied health practices through Dogwood Enterprises, and with dental practices through the Dentist Entrepreneur Organization (DEO). He leads practices as they build the systems, leaders, and teams that make them operationally and financially sustainable, so they can keep caring for their communities long after his time with them ends.

Kyle helps doctors and clinical leaders step out of the daily firefighting that wears them down, so they can lead with confidence, practice with less strain, and reclaim time and energy for life outside the practice. The tools he brings, such as compensation plans that reward the right things, onboarding that keeps good people, performance systems that replace dread with clarity, and exceptional patient and employee experiences are shaping healthcare and dental practices beyond the traditional focus on the bottom line and efficiency.

Kyle's top speaking topics include, "Healthy Practices, Healthy Patients: Building Practices That Last", "Beyond the Annual Review: Performance Management for Busy Practices", and "From Chairside to C-Suite: Leading Healthcare Teams People Want to Stay On and Be Treated By".

Kyle holds an MBA from Rivier University and a BS in Biology from Salve Regina University. He is based in the Greater Boston area.

James Lesly didn't find yoga in a studio. He found it stretching on a cell floor, copying poses out of library books before he knew what they were called.

Four years inside, 46 days in solitary, and a body that never got the memo when the danger was over. When he got out, he put a 200-hour yoga teacher training on an old credit card. Then came a 200-hour trauma-informed training through the Prison Yoga Project, where he's now an Ambassador.

Since then he's taught corporate teams (Innergy Corporate Yoga), YMCA Montreal members, Club Med guests, older adults with Parkinson's and post-stroke clients, and yoga teachers in Bella Prāna Collective's 300-hour Advanced Studies training.

He founded Not Your Average Yogi, a Black-led Montreal nonprofit bringing trauma-informed yoga and breathwork to Black men, men coming home from prison and at-risk youth, and built Black Man. Breathe., a 10-week peer-led breathwork program. His memoir, Not Your Average Yogi: From Violence to Service, came out in 2026.

Every session is part story, part live practice. People leave with breathing tools they can use in their next meeting, shift or hard conversation.

Klaus Peter Rentrop

Klaus Peter Rentrop

Klaus Peter Rentrop is a pioneering cardiologist whose work has had a transformative impact on treating heart disease. In 2023, two key milestones underscored his lasting contributions: the 45th anniversary of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which he first performed in 1978, and the 30th anniversary of the American Society for Nuclear Cardiology, which he co-founded in 1993. These milestones reflect his significant role in shaping the landscape of modern cardiology.

Originally from Cologne, Germany, Dr. Klaus P. Rentrop now resides in New York, where he has built a distinguished career in cardiology. His medical education includes training at leading institutions in Germany and the United States, culminating in a Cardiology Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic in 1973. This experience provided the foundation for his pioneering work in heart disease treatment and cardiac research.

Klaus Peter Rentrop MD’s career is defined by his introduction of PCI in 1978. This groundbreaking procedure, which uses a catheter to open blocked coronary arteries, revolutionized the treatment of heart attacks. PCI quickly became the gold standard for treating heart attacks, improving survival rates, and shortening patient recovery times. In 1979, he also contributed to the establishment of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, further enhancing the ability to treat heart attacks effectively in their early stages.

In 1985, Klaus P. Rentrop introduced the Rentrop Collateral Classification, a system designed to assess the collateral circulation in the heart. This classification has become essential in diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease, allowing healthcare providers to evaluate blockage severity better and determine the most appropriate treatment strategies.

Beyond his work in acute care, Klaus Peter has significantly contributed to treating chronic cardiovascular conditions. He holds a patent for the 0.8mm Spectronetics Laser catheter, which removes plaque from coronary and peripheral arteries. Additionally, he introduced Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for cardiac imaging in the New York area. This diagnostic technology has become the standard for assessing coronary artery disease and guiding treatment decisions.

Klaus P. Rentrop is also dedicated to expanding access to advanced healthcare. He invested over $8.5 million from his patent royalties and seven-year salary to help bring cutting-edge cardiac care to underserved populations.

Klaus Peter Rentrop’s contributions to cardiology have saved lives and advanced the field. His work continues to inspire future cardiologists and improve patient care worldwide.
