Are You Listening?

Would you be surprised to learn that communication continues to be an issue in the workplace?

"Listen, involve, synergize at work. Then you will bury the old and create an entirely new winning culture which will unleash people's talents and create complementary teams where strengths are made productive and weakness are made irrelevant through the strengths of others... " - Stephen R. Covey

"Would you be surprised to learn that communication continues to be an issue in the workplace? That only 13% of U.S. workers strongly agree that their organization's leadership communicates effectively?

This may not be news as it's been an issue for years, but why is that? Are we choosing to NOT address the issue?..."

5 Knows You Should Know.

We all want to feel empowered and feel connected to our purpose, but it is probably one of the hardest things to figure out about ourselves

"The leaders I coach constantly inquire about how they can find their purpose. The best way I can help you begin the search is to start with strengths - at least, I can confirm that this is the roadmap that led to the clarity I needed to find my path and create a more meaningful life for myself.

I love to inspire people to become the best version of who they already are. We are all unique in our own way and all wired differently. My purpose is to ignite the spark within you to inspire you to achieve your goals. It took me 40 years to figure that out and put it into words, but I feel empowered to finally have the knowledge and grateful to live in my purpose..."
