Mindie Kniss

Mindie Kniss is founder of Awaken Consciousness, LLC, a holistic coaching practice, and co-author of the book Wake Up Women: Be Happy, Healthy & Wealthy. Through her work as a writer and international speaker, in addition to working one-on-one with clients, she devotes herself to helping others live out their dreams by overcoming limiting beliefs.

“I believe that life is an adventure of growth through experience.”

Mindie’s diverse background includes working in the wilderness as an adventure guide and in corporate America, where she worked for a Fortune 100 company. Mindie is active in promoting social responsibility with various small businesses and nonprofit groups. She is also an advocate for women and children in developing countries. Mindie was granted a six-month Global Health Fellowship in Nairobi, Kenya to work with HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives.

“I believe that perspective is the starting point for everything. What we put out into the world in thought and action is what we get back.”

Each opportunity has offered a variety of experiences, but the focus of her personal and professional development has been the same regardless of position: leadership, optimism and creativity.
