After a successful 25+-year career in high-level positions at IBM, I made the joyful transition to running my business full time! This move had been a long time coming. For years, I had been coaching internally and some externally and knew that helping others achieve uncommon success was my calling.
If you’ve ever been in, or are still a part of corporate America you know how much it demands of your heart and soul. You’re required to stay within some confined boundaries because they can be easily tested and measured. And while I understand the necessity based on the need for control and reporting, after many years, I LONGED for more freedom to follow my passion.
Don’t get me wrong; my career had given me incredible opportunities! I was able to work with and coach senior executives about their careers, advise top talent on their development and lead a global team of high level professionals to deliver key organizational development programs. I was able to take my team to India, China and France to participate in cross-cultural transformative work. This was an incredible journey and my departure in no way diminishes it. Quite the contrary, this valuable experience of leadership truly helped me become a stronger coach and mentor.

Since I had already begun working on my business for the last five years, it made for a much easier transition. I wanted to take those lessons, coaching and leading talented committed people and use them for my greater mission, my desire to be of service to more business owners like myself. And to spend more time with my friends, travel and enjoy my Munchkin kitty, Bear!

I invested tens of thousands of dollars and hours into studying, perfecting and implementing marketing strategies in my own business, so that I could fulfill this mission, this new life for me. I learned things like, what makes an effective website, how to effectively introduce yourself, how to package, price and profit from your service offerings and how to bring you and your business to the world – both online and offline.
I am particularly skilled at helping highly successful corporate executives and leaders who have found that building your business is not like climbing the corporate ladder. Things are different. The approach is different – trust me, I know.
If you would benefit from someone who can relate to you and because of my background; I can show you specifically what to do and how to do it to make your business more successful, much faster.
If you’re coming from a corporate background you may be a Type A personality, and if you climbed up in your corporate career and you likely found that it was not easy for people to tell you what you don’t want to hear.

In my corporate career I worked with high-level executives who earned enormous salaries, were highly successful and high up in a Fortune 20 company. My job was to tell them when they were wrong and when they needed to get their act together and it was not always an easy job.
But I became adept at telling executives and high level leaders how to be successful despite the big egos and big heads. Why?
Because I knew what was critical to their success and was willing to help them succeed. THAT is why they both trusted and respected me.
Whether you were in corporate or have always been an entrepreneur, YOU want a coach / mentor, who sees your greatness and has the “courage to think bigger” about your business, even before you do! I will show you, exactly, what you need to do if you want to be successful.
Clients who have the best results are:
✓ Business owners who were corporate executives or high level leaders and want to translate their experience into a successful business. I can help you do that whether you are just starting out or if you’ve been at it for a few years.
✓ Experienced service professionals – coaches, consultants, authors, speakers, small business owners who have been in business for a few years and refuse to continue to play small, and are eager to take it to the next level – a 6 & 7-figure business.

Finally…
Listen, I’ve known for years that I could have the freedom and joy of running my own coaching/mentoring business. I also knew that it would take the support of a trusted mentor to get me there. I’ve worked with high level coaches and I’m very selective about who I follow and call my mentor. And I expect the same for you.
I have been where you are and I have created the high-level business and lifestyle I’ve wanted, simply because I made the investment in working with a mentor who helps me achieve it.
I can’t wait for you to experience the freedom and joy of leading your successful business. I am honored to be the one to help you make it happen, now.
