Faith Schway

The most victorious coach in the Miss Minnesota USA Pageant's history, Faith produced a "double win" for the ELEVENTH time in the past three years consecutively ( Miss Minnesota USA 2009, Erica Nego and Miss Minnesota Teen USA, Vanessa Johnston, Miss Minnesota USA 2007, Alla Ilushka and Miss Minnesota Teen USA, Vanessa Vonbehren and Miss Minnesota USA 2008,  Kaylee Unverzagt and Miss Minnesota Teen USA 2008, Sarah Sprayberry).  With an all-encompassing background as a pageant coach, director, and participant, she has experienced first-hand every aspect of pageant competition.  Faith is a former Mrs. Minnesota-America and has been the director and television host of the Mrs. Minnesota-America Pageant since 1990.  In 1982, she founded Premiere School of Self-Improvement and Professional Modeling, Inc., in Minneapolis which she owns and directs.  http://www.faithschway.com/

Elaiza is known for her unique ethics in coaching. Ask yourself, do you want a coach who is dedicated to YOU!? Elaiza limits her clientele to a "first come, first serve basis". Simply meaning, she chooses not to coach more than three individuals in the same division and system. This allows YOU to feel confident that your training is limited and specialized to YOU and only YOU. Elaiza has judged pageants all across the United States. She has been recognized for her coaching and mentoring on a national level. Imagine having a coach who has been on the other side... One who has been a judge. https://www.elaizashepherd.com/

I just wrote a blog post about this over at TrueBeautyProgram.com and wanted to tailor this important information on how it can be applicable to winning a pageant.

What, if anything, would you be doing differently? Would you carry yourself in a different way? Would you walk into a room a different way?

You attract what you ARE, not what you want, so from this day forth, do, say, think as you would if you already have the title!

And then if you win, it becomes even more a part of your world as you have appearances once or more a week, and are preparing yourself to compete for the national or International title on top of that. What happens after the pageant or after you pass on your title? Some women run into trouble after all the excitement of the pageant because they have started to attach and identify themselves with the pageant and/or title. You are NOT your title. WHO you are is not Miss Whoever. Life after pageants It is so important that from the start of training and there on, you do not mix your personal identity with your title because something bad will happen once that title is taken away or you're done competing and don’t w
