My Background

Over the last 12 years, my life has revolved around the education and development of others. I have been involved in identifying, assessing and through planned learning, developing the key competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) which enable individuals to perform current or future tasks. Then, taking these competencies to the next level, teaching and coaching others to achieve their goals and maximize their potential. This has taken place in the public school system, in the corporate world through Dale Carnegie Training Inc. and Adult Literacy, and in my personal business.

I am currently a wife to a loving and supportive husband, a mother of two wonderful and very active boys, a public school teacher, and a life and career coach. I find each of my roles fulfilling and challenging in their own way and rely on all of them to bring my life meaning and purpose.

Throughout my life, I have set and accomplished goals and challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone to acquire new experiences. Some of this I was able to do on my own, but more often than not, I had guidance from others. Often it was my mentors who gave me that extra nudge to push me in the direction I needed or desired to go, but did not have the courage to do alone. It is interesting when I reflect back on my life, how many times I have utilized the assistance of a personal coach to make my dreams a reality.

Throughout the years, I have studied what affect our attitude and thoughts have on the quality of our lives. "Think you can, think you can’t. You are right either way" (Henry Ford) has become a favorite quote of mine. Our attitude and thoughts shape the decisions we make that direct our purpose in life. This is why I am excited about working with women who are ready for change, and who want to start living their life with more purpose and direction.

I believe my life purpose is to make meaningful connections with others while leading an active and spontaneous life. I create and am aware of opportunities to be creative and imaginative in various situations. My life is full of many opportunities that focus on down-to-earth values (family, friends, faith, having fun, sharing, and enjoying the moment). My life purpose is to work with others and make an impact in their lives by helping them see and act on their own truth.
