A Dream Job

From the time I cracked open my first Little Golden Book until now, learning and teaching are when I’m at my best. In 2009, I started my own training & coaching business, and I haven’t looked back. My days are filled with teaching workshops, executive coaching, and creating courses that help people improve their communication, leadership and well-being skills. (The bonus is, I still get to read ALOT of books!)
