This essential exposure to personal development techniques includes guided study and the practical application of John Maxwell’s proven leadership methods, that include ”Leadership Gold,” “Developing the Leader Within You 2.0,” “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth,” “Becoming A Person of Influence,” “How to be A R-E-A-L Success,” and “Everyone Communicates, Few Connect.”

It started in the home by helping to raise my mentally disabled brother and later in life raising my youngest son who is autistic. Serving in my home taught me valuable lessons about compassion, helping others, putting others needs/wants ahead of my own, problem solving, decision making, the art of negotiation and advocacy. This transitioned into the workplace where I spent 20 of 34 years with the federal government as a mid-level and senior-level leader, leading small and large organizations.
Now, my passion is to serve and help the current and next generation of leaders. How may I help you today?
