Crystal DeStefano, APR, is an expert on creating and maintaining a positive image for your brand.

Crystal is Accredited in Public Relations (APR) by the Universal Accreditation Board and is a recipient of multiple business awards. She has also served in leadership roles for the Public Relations Society of America at the local, regional, and national level.

Crystal shares insights and expertise on how artificial intelligence is reshaping brand reputation. After four years of research in the evolution of AI tools, Crystal launched Strategic Communications’ AI Visibility services in 2026. Her proprietary AI Visibility Audit tracks thousands of results across major AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, showing organizations where they are and are not being mentioned, how they compare to competitors, and the steps to close the gap.

Crystal turns that research into a practical talk for business leaders and communicators, explaining what happens when someone asks an AI platform about your organization, why it already shapes spending, hiring, and customer trust, and the first steps any team can take now to make sure AI tells their story accurately.

Dr. Joan Wright-Good is an internationally recognized keynote speaker, transformational strategist, business architect, and award-winning CEO whose work sits at the intersection of wealth, leadership, healing, and biblical conviction. She is known for one thing above all: activating high-capacity leaders to convert their wisdom, experience, and calling into scalable influence and measurable financial success.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Dr. Joan's life story is not one of incremental progress, it is one of radical ascent. Raised in the Maxfield Park Children's Home, a government-run orphanage, she overcame sexual abuse, domestic violence, teen pregnancy, homelessness, and the devastating loss of her spouse. Yet from those ashes emerged a global voice of authority, resilience, and faith. Her journey has taken her from institutional care to the White House, where she was recognized in 2016 as a Business Game Changer by President Barack Obama — a moment emblematic of her trajectory: from overlooked to undeniable.

An ordained Christian minister and theologian, Dr. Joan teaches that wealth and righteousness are not adversaries. Her message is unapologetic and clear: fulfillment is impossible without a biblical relationship with Christ, yet Scripture demonstrates that covenant alignment produces both wholeness and prosperity.

Dr. Joan is the Founder and CEO of LuxCore Consulting Co. and JWG Publishing House, a full-service publishing firm that develops, writes, and distributes books and magazines for leaders worldwide. She leads a team of eight professionals and both companies hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. The 11-time author's work has been featured in Forbes, Black Enterprise, Fox 26 News, Rolling Out, Sheen Magazine, The Tom Joyner Show, Huffington Post, MadameNoire, Voyage Miami, The Jamaica Observer, CVM TV, TVJ, iHeart Radio, and more.
