Experience
After 25 years as a consultant for companies like Coca Cola I wanted more. I was tired of teaching computers to lead happy, productive lives and wanted one for myself. So I chased my dream - that of becoming a writer. Along the way I became a published short story author, and freelance writer.
Still - it wasn't quite enough. I had a dream of working with other women.
Life has funny ways of moving us along our path to our soul purpose. As I created my writing life, a life coach came along and I found myself in the Yukon, alone and on a trip of spiritual discovery.
It was a turning point in my life. I returned home where I trained to become a coach myself.
Now I work with other women, sharing my expertise and desire to see them successul in their own lives, both business and personal. (And really, how can you separate the two?)
I know from personal experience that claiming our dreams changes our inner world and impacts the outer one.
