After  26 successful years at AT&T in Sales Management, Training,
and Human Resources, I decided to leave corporate life and establish my own
company. In 1996 I started my own business by first focusing on training and
business consulting. I then expanded into Personal and Business Coaching.
At AT&T I had been very successful in business-to-business sales, sales
management, training and personal development. While there I had the privilege
 of working with world class companies like GE, and the “Best Practices”
concepts of Fortune 500 corporations. I was able to use this valuable experience
in helping all sorts of people.  I soon discovered that many were looking for
someone who would work with them to develop their skills and abilities.
I centered my new business around this need, and my business grew quickly. 

The most enjoyable and rewarding part of my life has been
helping people in their personal lives and in business. My ability to help
and develop people has come from many areas: the corporate experience,
42 years of marriage and raising five children, being an elder in a
congregation, a public speaker and presenter for 35+ years,  and a
business owner. I am equally at home in front of a large group, teaching
a seminar, or working one-on-one with someone who desires to make
changes in their life. I love people and am dedicated to helping them
discover their full potential and uniqueness.

           The personal coaching profession has formalized much of what I have
 been doing throughout my life. I enrolled in Coach University and graduated
in 1999. In 1998 I combined Corporate Training with Coaching for the first
time. In 2003 I am expanding my Coaching business by opening up more
time for additional coaching clients.
 

 My Philosophy in Life

 I believe most people are under a lot of pressure and want to do well at
whatever they do. The world has gotten far too complex and we need to
simplify.  Far too often the "faster, faster, faster” pace and the "more,
more, more" attitude of the business world robs us of our joy, our
creativity and our excellence.  We end up serving deadlines, objectives, and
 quotas instead of serving our clients, our families and ourselves.  We often
forget about what matters most as we surrender to the urgent and the
demanding.  We often lose our focus, our balance and our satisfaction
in the process.  We suffer, our relationships suffer, and our families suffer
too. That’s why we need to pause, reflect, and make meaningful changes.
While it takes courage to take this kind of action the rewards are outstanding.
 

 My Personal Values 

My personal values are integrity, honesty, loyalty, excellence, spirituality,
family, personal improvement, fun and humor.  I encourage people to discover
their real skills and talent, combined with their passion and motivation. I
enjoy helping people identify their uniqueness and their strengths, then
move ahead to realize their personal best. My goal is to bring value to
everyone I meet and inspire them to discover their personal best.
