Exceptional People Magazine Announces Its Re-launch

Exceptional People Magazine, a premiere self empowerment magazine showcases some of the world’s most extraordinary people.

Fairfax County, Virginia - Exceptional People Magazine is an online publication that recognizes and showcases some of the world’s most extraordinary people, profiling luminaries, ordinary people, celebrities and corporate leaders for their significant accomplishments and contributions to society. The publication is a potpourri of success stories, revealing their insights, advice, successes, failures and motivating factors behind their success.

Since November 2006, Exceptional People Magazine has been inspiring people around the world by highlighting amazing stories of commitment, heroism and humanitarianism.

Exceptional People Magazine continues to deliver the power of global change through thought-provoking and compelling stories while offering a wealth of information, advice and inspiration through various articles.  It is the premiere publication for individuals and businesses seeking to effect positive change, both personally and professionally.

In the November-December 2008 issue of Exceptional People Magazine, Davis writes the story of Dirk, a gentleman and hero who saved the life of his friend by donating one of his kidneys.

“Sometimes you have to demonstrate the ability to sacrifice to pass on lessons to your children. This is something that friends do for each other.  I think most people are good people and they’ll step up to do whatever they think is right to help their family and friends if they had that opportunity.  I just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” Dirk replied.

“In celebration of our re-launch, we have introduced a new website which offers a plethora of inspiration, information and new features,” states Editor-in-Chief, Monica Davis.

As one reader states:

"Awesome. Absolutely awesome! Your magazine covers the full spectrum of what we need to succeed, survive and triumph over our circumstances. You hit the mark."

Exceptional People Magazine is now featured on Blog Talk Radio on Wednesdays at 9:00pm (EST).  The accomplishment of an extraordinary person from a recent issue of the publication is highlighted to the listeners of the Success Talk Radio show and lessons-learned points are offered.  The Maximize Your Potential radio show presents topics that educate, enlighten and encourage ordinary people to do extraordinary things.  Life Strategies Success Coach, Dr. Clint Pearman is the host.

Small businesses and entrepreneurs now have the opportunity to brand themselves in an extraordinary way.  Exceptional People Magazine is now extending its reach to the viewing audience of CBS network affiliate WUSA9.  They will be able to market their products and services to millions of on-line visitors through the publication’s Extraordinary Businesses and Living Smart video series.

Exceptionalmag.com also presents Café 1017, a virtual café/coffee house where local chefs, aspiring cooks and cool people can meet to talk about “all things culinary”.   It’s a place where you can share food stories and anecdotes and get to know Chef Extraordinaire, Sean Thomas, Café 1017’s chef. 

He has made his mark in the culinary world as a dynamic, highly-motivated and creative chef.  Originally heralding from Washington, D.C., Chef Thomas, known by many as the “business savvy chef,” began his career with Houlihan’s Restaurants, Inc. as Chef of Darryl’s Wood Fired Grill in Norfolk, VA. There, his natural ability to mentor and motivate others to reach their highest potential became noticed, as that location rapidly became the model unit for the company, where many new and some tenured chefs and managers visited to train and learn under the direction of Chef Thomas.

As Executive Chef of McCormick and Schmick’s Fresh Seafood Restaurant at The Westin Hotel Edina Galleria, Chef Thomas and his culinary team prepares all of pastries, soups, sauces and breads.
