The Change-Makers
The Founder
Renee Beth Poindexter is the founder of Living The Potential Network, a community that works together to create a better future by connecting individuals of all ages and backgrounds with the mentors, collaborators, resources, training, and opportunities they need to unfold their unique potential, so they can be and create the change they want to see in the world. An accomplished trainer, facilitator, success coach, and organizational consultant, Renee Beth discovered the significance of learning in the world of business over twenty-five years—across many sectors, including technology, healthcare, financial services, construction, advertising and public relations, executive search, coaching, and consulting.

A former high school English teacher, Renee Beth has worked with non-profit organizations, schools, and businesses to facilitate the positive changes needed to fulfill their organizational vision. Her background in continuous improvement has assisted her in designing programs that inspire people to lead with their heads and hearts connected and create better results. Renee Beth’s current work through Living The Potential Network includes coaching, consulting, mentoring, and networking individuals who are courageously choosing to own their purpose and design their legacy with one common goal: Leave the world better than they found it.
Her book, Living The Potential: Engaging the Wisdom of Our Youth to Save the World, invites people who are vested in a positive future to open new pathways for collaboration—where everyone can bring more of who we are to what we do and how we do it, and engage the wisdom of our youth as active participants in co-creating a happier, healthier future for all.
She is on the Advisory Council for the Transformative Learning Foundation in the United States and the board for Village Home Education Resource Center. A global traveler, Renee Beth makes her home in Portland, Oregon, with her partner, Mark Roth. She loves people, nature, and adventure, and is a master networker.
