My mission is to empower others to believe they are capable of more than they envision for themselves. Fears and limiting beliefs which keep us from realizing our goals can be diminished and even eliminated when we walk through the steps that need to be taken. My passion is helping people turn difficult and challenging situations into opportunities when they are willing to see things in a different way.
When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too”
- Paulo Coelho
After over 25 years leading and mentoring people and companies through growth, change and excellence, I decided on a new direction to use my passion for transforming the path through change to achieve my purpose. With a bachelor degree in Human Services, certifications and education in accounting, business and paralegal studies as well as training and experience in change management, I was fortunate enough to find opportunities which allowed me to gain invaluable industry experience, while utilizing my personal, organizational, analytical and leadership strengths. I have worked with individuals of all ages and in several countries and cultures, leading relocation projects, facilitating companies in growth and efficiencies from ground up. My professional journey through the UK, Europe, India and Asia had not only revealed untapped potential, but also tested my own strength and resiliency. As an expat, I have experienced major life, professional and cultural adjustments while also mentoring staff through major changes and meeting stakeholder requirements.
My experiences in resiliency also appeared throughout my personal life, driving a deep rooted passion for helping others find their own strength, resiliency and purpose. From mentoring and coaching youth in sports, bible study, music and art to guiding and supporting others through cancer, loss, depression, addiction, recovery and beyond. This dedication and intimate understanding of the resiliency in the human spirit has influenced my drive to pursue a career as a professional coach and study toward dual certification in transitional life coaching as well as career development at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. I believe failure is never an option, that when we put our best foot forward, regardless of the outcome, we experience learning and growth, and therefore enrich our life and those around us. I work with those willing to find their own strength and resiliency, take steps to change their life, and even discover that loss and challenges can provide a path to growth and opportunity to rise up and create a more meaningful and purposeful life.
