They learned to think differently.
It’s not magic. If you want radical change in your life, you have to shift the way you think. Dexter and Tonya did just this, and their lives changed. Getting out of their way needed their participation, so the fear of failure and fear of success were finally put in its place, and their personal UPgrade started and continues to this day.
Known for their authentic and passionate delivery in everything they do, Dexter and Tonya believe that normal people, just like them, are destined to do extraordinary things.
They help others to live lives FREE of mediocrity, limiting beliefs, and the fear of failure.

Challenges/Workshops
It astounds us how little we were taught about the mind, its power, and its role in our lives. Our lives did not begin to change until we realized that our minds have the power to either unlock or stifle our full potential. We are now teaching others what we have come to know. If your life isn’t reflecting what you want, you need to challenge your thinking patterns. It’s about more than just things; it’s about relationships, hopes and dreams, peace, joy, and happiness. Bring us to your group or sign up for one of our workshops when they become available. (Make certain you’re following us.) Our courses will literally change your life and push you to overcome obstacles that are oftenly self-imposed or learned/acquired generationally.

UPgraders Academy
One thing we’ve realized is that we are purposed to help people come out of mediocrity. Having worked in different areas of county and state government, we believe that many employed people deal with the conditioning of the mind and heart as a result of personal and professional life experiences. We know this to be limiting beliefs, cushioned by comfort zones. Comfort zones may feel good in the moment, but over time, the comfort fades and life reveals shortcomings, lack, and loss. It’s time to break free and join The UPgraders Academy. This membership gives you access to The UPgraders’ ongoing personal development coaching, training, and challenge-based community. It’s time to address the issues that are causing roadblocks into your future. Prepare to increase your level of influence, your visibility, confidence; and tips and tools to help take your life to the next level.
