I work with business owners, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and teams ranging from 1-250 employees to achieve growth using trainings to co-create and implement strategies that build solid internal foundations.
My approach includes one-on-one accountability to ensure promises are managed, creating passion and energy within teams, and helping leaders bring out the best in their personal and professional lives.
I am certified in training programs such as The Six Types of Working Genius, The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team, and all DiSC products. These offerings train clients through my proven process: awareness, discussion, preparation, execution, growth, evaluation, and maintenance care.
I guarantee individual training that will add value to you, your team, and your businesses. My ultimate goal is to help leaders and employees take the right next steps toward sustainable growth and build strong foundations to improve success.
