ABOVE CENTER®: Owning the Space, Writing the Story

Coaching is filled with borrowed wisdom—from psychology’s greats to leadership lessons from Jim Collins, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, and the list goes on. But when we created ABOVE CENTER®, we knew it wasn’t just another mindset framework—it was personal. It came from our upbringing, where our parents lived by a simple but powerful principle:
Success in life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it with the right attitude.
My sister took this even further, adding the truth that every day, you have the choice to grab your pen and write a new story. When we combined these two beliefs, ABOVE CENTER® was born—a way for individuals to break free from the victim loop and intentionally choose a life of clarity, confidence, and action.
That’s why the ® matters. In an industry where coaching often builds on the past, a trademark plants a flag in the future. ABOVE CENTER® is ours, fully owned by REVEL™—designed to help leaders shift from reactive to intentional, from passive to empowered.
And it’s not just a theory—it’s real transformation.
Morgan, one of our clients, recently shared her story:
"I just received a job offer! I took your advice, kept the pen in my hand, and started writing my future. When I walked into my interview, I felt confident. I reframed challenges as learning curves, spoke about my ability to adapt, and took the chance. Thank you for showing me how to own my story!"
We believe in ownership—not just of a trademark, but of the choices we make every day. As Mel Robbins says in Let Them Theory, comparison among entrepreneurs can be jet fuel for success. Seeing what others have built should inspire you to claim your lane—and that’s exactly what we did.
With ABOVE CENTER®, we don’t just coach leadership—we teach people how to write their own story of success. And now, we own that story.
