I have a Master’s Degree in Education and spent over 20 years in the classroom. During that time, my passion and drive for leadership development created the opportunity for me to mentor new teachers, facilitate staff development, coach colleagues toward increased effectiveness, and design curriculum. In an effort to expand my impact on leaders, I left the classroom and have spent the last 13 years coaching and mentoring entrepreneurs to grow beyond limiting beliefs and fears to achieve both business and personal growth. As a John Maxwell certified coach, I can help you reach your purpose and goals through an intentional plan of development. One of my greatest gifts is the ability to take the seemingly complex and make it simple. I thoroughly enjoy facilitating learning, which begins with self-discovery, grows into self- motivation and leads to change. As suggested by my mentor, John Maxwell, “We first learn to lead ourselves, before earning the right to come along side others. To build trust, a leader must exemplify competence, connection and character.” Working together through accountability, we can facilitate positive and profitable change, improve productivity and create the atmosphere that is necessary for effective leadership.
