Through WHAT MATTERS, Beth has become the first CONNECT Leader in Virginia. CONNECT is a global collaboration being developed by her friend Sam Beard (sambeard.org) and is spearheaded by his nonprofit (giftglobal.com) to help facilitate his goal of encouraging one billion people to be mindful by 2030. As an advisor to 8 US Presidents, Sam is a social entrepreneur who found his own stressful life transformed by the power of “going inside” through meditation and mindfulness.  

WHAT MATTERS is proud to support the CONNECT initiative in which CONNECT Leaders collaborate and agree with a shared vision and mission:

• CONNECT with Self
• CONNECT with Others
• CONNECT with the Universe

They also encourage others to become mindful and join the CONNECT family in trying to change the world through “going inside,” exploring self improvement, stress reduction, mindfulness, meditation, better relationships with others and the power of intuition.
