About Us

What is the purpose of Focus on Personal Growth?
Focus on Personal Growth is a radio talk show providing a forum for people who
desire personal growth and want to make positive changes in their life. Our show
provides a platform for guests to present useful information on how to achieve your
potential in life. Focus on Personal Growth brings diverse local, national, and
international guests who will provide guidance and share insightful information to
help keep listeners focused on staying actively engaged in their own personal
success journey.

Guests include local authors, speakers, business people, entrepreneurs, and
community leaders who bring positive information to share with listeners desiring to
live life optimally. Topics discussed span all aspects of living; from personal,
business, family, financial, community, health & well-being. Our show conveys
messages that will act as a steady guide to help people stay on target with their life
goals—and also act as a catalyst for those listeners initially defining their life
objectives.

Meet the host of Focus on Personal Growth
Nellie Chappell-White is the producer and host of Focus on Personal Growth. The
idea for the show was formed over a year ago after her own experiences in identifying
her dream—to be a radio talk show host—was uncovered after seeing first hand the
importance of consistent positive reinforcement when trying to realize goals.

She was a Co-Anchor of 90.1 KPFT Local News in Houston, Texas in 2003-2005.
Although it took her 20 years to pursue her radio dream, she has had the desire to be
on the radio since she was a child. Listening to music and AM talk shows were a big
part of Nellie’s teenage years. In 2003, she achieved that dream when she began
working at KPFT.

In 2004, Nellie was awarded the President of the Year from Toastmasters
International, representing Houston’s District 56 Area P. That same year she was
also named Member of the Year from her home Toastmasters club. Nellie has been
a member of Toastmasters for 4 years, and strongly encourages everyone to join.
(Toastmasters is an international speaking organization aimed at helping members
improve formal and impromptu speaking skills, as well as leadership skills.)

Real-life experience is brought to this personal growth focused show. Nellie's
background is mostly banking/financial services and management. When she was a
small business owner, she realized the invaluable gift of looking outside of yourself
to find others to support you in your growth. She strives to bring a forum where
leaders and front runners who are currently fighting and winning the daily battle of
focusing on their dreams, can reach back and pull more dreamers along side them.

"I would like to provide a positive outlet for those who are already on track to their
potential, those who are trying to get aboard, and those who have walked many miles
experiencing their true potential and have positive experiences to share with others.

I see personal growth as a teaching that is never-ending. The material is never-
ending because growth is never ending. Whether people are new to personal growth,
or have already integrated it into their lifestyle, you can never get enough of the
reminders, stories, and teachings that will keep you aspiring to do better. Living an
average life is easy; take chances, and see what really drives you."
