I know what it is like to feel fear. And I know what it is like to face it head on and persevere.
The theme of voice is a prevalent one in my life. People would be surprised to know that I was shy as a child, socially awkward at school, and used to stutter with a speech impediment. People know me now as outgoing, friendly, expressive; someone who takes initiative. Yet, as a kid, I didn't know how to express my voice.
I want to create a world where people's #1 fear becomes their #1 asset. Where it's the norm to own your voice and speak your mind. When I see leaders grow and overcome fears that held them back, there's nothing like it! When leaders own their voice, they drive businesses who do the same. Cut the muck. Move with precision. And transliterate your profits.
Allow me to help leaders like you, own your voice.

Favorite dessert?
Hmm. That's hard. All? My guilty pleasure is warm cookie dough with vegan vanilla ice cream served on top. The hot cold mix is divine.
Note: a hot cookie is not the same thing as warm cookie dough. Lol. :)
Favorite movie?
I'll go with old favorites. Armageddon and Titanic. I'm a sucker for romantic dramas and epic tales.
Best Family Vacation?
Marco Island, Florida. I love manatees [they are an endangered species. the sea cow.] and spotted one! Went parasailing and survived. I just love the beach, fresh air, warm sun and exploring the great outdoors.
