Tell us about yourself
I have over 17 years of experience in training, coaching, and education and have spent my career designing and implementing engaging curricula for career-focused programs. I have also spent a great deal of time coaching professionals to help them achieve their next level of peak performance through career visioning and measurable action. With a bachelor's degree in Business and an M.Ed. and Ph.D. in Education, I have been able to create business resources for professionals that not only improve their day-to-day performance but build their legacies, and that is what drives me to do what I do every day!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
As a business owner, my biggest accomplishment has been being able to pour into others. I spent many years in a corporate environment, and having the opportunity now to take what I love and use it to help others find accelerated success in their businesses is infinitely rewarding!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things about being a business owner is knowing when to say "when." Training and coaching is a business that is incredibly rewarding, so it is incredibly easy to constantly push forward, like the Energizer Bunny, to provide more value and more content. I have to remember to stop sometimes and celebrate the wins and connect with my loved ones to maintain balance!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
My top three tips for anyone looking to start, run, and grow a business today would be:
- Pour into something you love.
- Partner with talented people you trust.
- Be persistent in all you do (marketing, relationship building, etc.)
