What I do:I believe communication and leadership skills improve our work and our lives. I channel this belief into my career as an accredited coach, speaker to corporate groups and facilitator of workshops. And I get results: I have built my business on referrals from satisfied clients. Facilitation and SpeakingExecutives, managers and team members can unknowingly communicate in ways that create conflict instead of progress. I lead sessions in Intentional Communication to help people become immediately more effective at listening, asking, confirming, acknowledging, and curiosity, thereby developing useful, skillful responses. This next-level communication is a powerful tool for connecting teams, increasing employee engagement, boosting productivity and netting outcomes that last. CoachingI also work one-on-one with successful people to set personal and professional goals that will allow them to live the lives they want. My coaching skills provide a fresh perspective, unparalleled support and motivation, and self-accountability. Who I am: 
I’m not afraid to challenge beliefs and habits, but I also know how to reinforce best practices. It’s easy for people to connect with me and hear what I have to say about my passion for teaching speaking skills and communication. I’m bold and brave, yet empathetic and vulnerable. I also care about community and volunteering my time to help others, personally raising over $100,000 for cancer research. My latest community initiatives include creating The Fresh Start Project, running the Shoebox Project for three years and various programs at The Compass (food bank over the last 10 years). My boys and I fundraise, participate and volunteer at the annual Jack.ride for youth mental health, raising $8803.50 this spring. I’m also goal focused: I’ve run one full marathon, 16 half marathons and have now moved on to tennis, golf and kayaking. I lead my career and my life by my values and am, above all, committed to providing my two sons the best childhood possible while raising them to be happy, engaging, responsible adults.
