Welcome!
I have spent the last 30 years helping clients tap into the power of their own potential, build confidence to take action and step into the spotlight. Confidence comes when you trust yourself. When you trust yourself, you are more present. When you are more present, people feel it. That is when you truly connect. The more comfortable you are with yourself, the more impact you can have.
I believe we can all be the visionary leaders of our personal and professional lives through intentional action and clarity of mission. I am passionate about creating a safe and relaxed space to help address your challenges and empower you with the skills to reach your goals.
My confidence story
The truth is I wasn't always confident in myself or my skills. I struggled with my own self-doubt, fear of failure and I hated making mistakes, especially in front of other people. I didn't always speak up when I had something to say and for years, I felt like I didn't have a right to my own voice in the world. The road to confidence took time for me. It took years of discipline, self-awareness and trying over and over every single day. Once I got in "tune" with myself, I became much more comfortable stepping into the spotlight, and I could truly connect with those around me. That's when the magic happens.
I was fortunate to work with amazing coaches throughout my career who were in my corner cheering me on, challenging my thinking, growing my skills, and walking me through challenges in my life and business. I wasn't alone and would not be who I am today without them. I gained the confidence to build businesses, coach hundreds of clients, build communities and stand in front of any audience, large or small and talk about what is important to me. (Or sing...) I believe everyone deserves to have a coach.
I also discovered why I am on the planet -
To help others build confidence and tap into the power of their own voice.
I can help you too.
