Gabrielle Bosche / gab@purposecompany.co9163371773 / purposecompany.coIG: @gabrielleboscheFB: @saysgabrielleTwitter: @saysgabrielleRaised in an alcoholic household, Gabrielle became addicted to achievement because that was the only thing she could control. From self-publishing her first book at 17 to becoming an elite athlete to losing 20 pounds in 2 months to win a beauty pageant, Gabrielle found her identity as an "achiever." After extreme dieting caused her to lose chunks of her hair and most of her relationships, Gabrielle knew she needed a change. Her journey to discover her own purpose resulted in what is known as the #1 purpose discovery process in the world. Gabrielle is one of the most booked Millennial motivators in the world. She has been called the "next generation of motivators" by Tom Ziglar and is a popular TEDx presenter, bestselling author, and co-founder of The Purpose Company. Her work has been endorsed by the likes of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Brian Tracy, Lewis Howes, and co-founder of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Marc Victor Hansen. Gabrielle has worked with everyone from presidential campaigns, the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and the top brands in the world. Gabrielle has been featured in major media outlets including NPR, Sirius XM Radio, Bloomberg Radio, Glamour Magazine, Business Insider, and Los Angeles Times.Gabrielle quit her job at 23 to launch her first company, consulting major brands and the government on how to reach Millennials. Her breakout moment came when at a networking meeting she introduced herself as a "Millennial expert" to someone who would end up being her first client (the U.S. Navy). Gabrielle has written 5 books ranging from Millennial motivation, next-generation entrepreneurship, and how to find your purpose. Gabrielle's approach to life, love, and business is the self-deprecating deeply wise and insanely practical solution we need right now.

Then in College, I was a regular volunteer planning University of Maryland events and planning events for; “Elegant”; the organization which I was The President of in my College Department.I loved events so much that during college I also interned/worked for The Lerner Corporation at Landover Mall for years. We planned and executed events such as Desert Storm memorials, Easter bunny/Santa visits, fashion shows and more for the purpose of getting more customers to shop and visit the mall. After College I joined the New York City Bloomingdale's management team and interned for The Rouse Corporation at The Harborplace in Baltimore, MD exclusively planning and running events for National Harbor.

Life is short... even before we all found ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic. If your parents are still with you, if you have someone in your life you haven't said "I love you" to in a while, no time like the present.
Ari Jones - https://www.arjproductions.net/The cornerstones of our company are pride in customer service & responsiveness to the client. We want to create a custom event for our clients that exceeds their expectations but not budgets. We value honest and open communication, integrity, tireless hard work, persistence, enthusiasm and a positive attitude which is evident in our company's leadership and in all of our support staff. We believe in clear communication and expectations of planner, client and the event. We value kindness, thoughtfulness, honesty and integrity. Our goal is for the client to feel involved and heard without being stressed or worried that their event is in the best of hands. We always pursue excellence in the look and feel of our events down to the smallest detail.
