About

The Get Inspired! Project is the brainchild of Toni Reece, President of The PEOPLE Academy, Inc.

Toni has been a personal and business development Coach for 15+ years and has coached people all over the world.  During her journey, she has met many people who were seeking answers to the same questions.

Toni knew she wanted to collect all of the amazing stories of how people inspire others and what they need to be inspired themselves; however, she wasn’t sure how to get the stories out to those who can benefit from hearing them.

Inspiration struck when she attended a local showing of the movie “Julie and Julia” the true story of a woman who writes a daily blog about her goal of creating all of the recipes in Julia Child’s cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in one year’s time.  When she saw the movie, she realized that the interviews could also be seen in a blog format.

Why not showcase 365 people – one interview a day for one year! Keep in mind, Julie wasn’t a cook, and Toni isn’t a reporter – which makes this project all the more exciting and challenging!

Toni was absolutely amazed at the response to her call for interviews.  People from all over the world have volunteered to take part in this project.  The Get Inspired! Project will showcase not only what people need to be inspired but what approaches they are taking to inspire others.

All of us at The PEOPLE Academy, Inc. are in awe of people every day who are helping others to achieve their dreams.

We thank you for taking the time to read this blog and please, if you know of anyone else that can benefit from it – pass it along!

JIM REECE
Partner – The PEOPLE Academy, Inc.

The PEOPLE Academy, Inc.’s client-centric products inspire thinking and exploring for those who coach the inspiration in others. Being associated with the Get Inspired! Project has been a gift. In addition to scouring the earth for interesting people Toni can talk to, I contribute to press and promotion of the site and all that is related. I have learned through these wonderful stories that inspiration is not something that happens. Inspiration is how you choose to embrace what happens . . .

ROB & DEB BRITT
Partners – The PEOPLE Academy, Inc.

When Toni shared her vision with Deb and me, it resonated. I immediately started looking through my contacts and realized that although I know many people, the search would really need to be global. A passion of mine is digging through the internet to find gems – pieces of information – but now I was focused on finding human gems.

I get an amazing feeling when I listen to the interviews. These are real people who are making a difference in the world every day, and we are part of sharing their story. And that’s another piece of the project that I have embraced – making people aware of what we are uncovering. Through blogging, social networking and article marketing, we all have been putting this out to the universe, and the universe is responding.

I want to thank everyone who is involved, from Toni, Jim and Deb, to the amazing people who have volunteered their 15 minutes that make the project what it is. And thanks to everyone reading and listening; your time is valuable and we appreciate you spending some of it with us as we all share and grow.

Deb is the creative arm of The PEOPLE Academy, Inc. … graphic design, web design, and all the technical “stuff” behind the scenes.
