Short Description: It is the mission of Thomas A. Birkhold to provide the legal advice, insight and pragmatic problem solving tools to make those transitions easier and with dignity and respect.
Long Description:

Collaborative divorce is a positive, solution-oriented approach in which the parties and their lawyers agree to work together to resolve issues and reach a fair agreement without the threat of going to court. Although each party has a lawyer to act as his or her advisor and advocate, the focus is on mutual, client-driven creative problem solving. The parties and their lawyers work cooperatively to gather facts and documentation to have a full, honest and open voluntary exchange of information. Issues are resolved without the risk and emotional turmoil that usually accompany divorce. Working together, they strive to dissolve the marriage in a way that addresses everyone’s legal, financial, psychological, spiritual and emotional needs.

In collaborative divorce, both parties and their attorneys sign an agreement at the beginning that they will work cooperatively and not use the court or the threat of going to court. The lawyers are disqualified from ever representing their clients in court if either party breaks the agreement. The agreement creates a cooperative spirit in which the parties and their lawyers are invested in the process. The parties retain control of the process, stress is reduced and efficiency is greatly increased.

A LADIES NIGHT OUT HAVING FUN WITH JEWELRY!

Me, Sell Jewelry?
I never thought I'd love jewelry so much and especially love going to work, after all... "When I go to work, I end up at a party!!!" How fun is that?

I hosted my 1st Silpada Show for my girlfriend back in May of 2002! A little voice inside me said "This looks fun", but I was a busy mom with 3 children 5 and under! A couple of months later, I decided I'd like to make some extra mad money and joined my friend in Silpada. What started out as a PT "FUN" hobby has turned into an incredibly flexible, lucrative & exciting career! I never thought I'd be able to take my husband on all expense paid vacations to the Bahamas, St. Thomas, Cabo, Aruba and now Maui in 2008! Silpada has allowed me to be home with our 3 children, volunteer in their classes, be active in the community, and yet also have something where I feel successful! I especially love the gift of priceless friendships this business has allowed me to have. Not just with my own Team, but with other Silpada leaders throughout the country. The culture of this amazing company, and the supportive, incredible women that have touched my life and others is such a gift! I'm so glad I listened to that "voice" and found myself in Silpada!!!

Whether it's wearing the jewelry, hosting a show or becoming your own Independant Silpada Rep, I hope you FIND YOURSELF IN SILPADA!!!

You can view all the beautiful jewelry by clicking on CATALOG. Enjoy over 450 pieces of Fine Sterling, .925 handcrafted Silpada Jewels! It's unique and is now LIFETIME GUARANTEED also! If you find yourself wanting something from each page I CAN HELP YOU! My average hostess earns between $250-$400 in FREE JEWELRY by hosting a fun ladies night out party! It's a simple Open-House style, no presentations/pressure - and just FUN! We just sip,shop and play with the jewelry!

"Whether you think you can or you think you can’t; you’re right.”

Executive Coaching shows you how to do it and provides the resources to draw upon. I am a Registered Business Coach certified by the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches, so you can be sure that you are being coached by an expert. The process begins with defining your goals. I will then identify your present state and your desired state (where you are at and where you want to go). This allows us to focus on building a bridge to get from where you are to where you want to be.

I will review the environment that you operate in, your beliefs and values and capabilities and skills. Drawing upon this information, I will guide you to develop a path to your desired goals. As this path is developed, I will identify barriers that prevent you from being successful. Often these barriers come from within and need to be addressed to move forward. Executive coaching gets you past what has been holding you back and moves you toward your goals.

Email: sbuckha@fbinsmi.com
Short Description: Within our BNI group, Stephanie specializes in personal property & casulty insurance, including: home, auto, umbrella, rental properties, special events, farm & country estate insurance

Long Description:

Stephanie Buckham has a passion for the insurance business. She is a licensed sub-agent for her husband of five years, Jeff Buckham, Jr., at Farm Bureau Insurance in Portage, MI. For Stephanie, serving the people of Michigan is a family tradition. Her father is a Michigan State Police officer and her two younger brothers are members of the Michigan Army National Guard and have served in Iraq. Stephanie sees insurance as her way to serve and protect the people of Michigan. “It is my job to be there for my clients on their worst day,” said Stephanie. “To help them put their world back together and ease their burden. I take that responsibility very seriously.”

Stephanie was born in Ann Arbor, MI and has enjoyed having the opportunity to live in many different cities through our great state. She is a graduate of Eaton Rapids High School and holds a B.A. in Accounting from Michigan State University. Stephanie and Jeff live in Kalamazoo with their three-and-a- half-year-old son, Cale, and dog, Teddy. “Cale is the light of my life,” shared Stephanie. “Jeff & I are having so much fun rediscovering the world through his eyes – everything is so new and exciting.” Cale is the sixth generation of the Buckham family to farm in Oshtemo. Although the family raises a variety of animals and crops, they are most well known for their sheep.

The most important objective at the Buckham Agency is to insure their clients are properly protected, as opposed to being simply insured. This is done through a comprehensive insurance review which includes : assessing a family’s current programs, evaluating their objectives and coordinating coverages to minimize gaps and overlaps. It is Stephanie’s goal to educate her clients so they understand what their insurance covers and how it works.

Farm Bureau Insurance is a Michigan-only company and is owned by the members of Michigan Farm Bureau. When Stephanie joined the Farm Bureau Family, she knew she was committing to do more than simply sell insurance. She was committing to help people plan and prepare for their future and helping them in their time of need.
