Speaking and Training
It is no secret that you - and your team - are often asked to do more when there are fewer resources available. Pretty quickly that can lead to frustration, poor communication, resource hoarding, a decline in moral . . . Any one of those realities take a toll on productive relationships and the bottom line, never mind what it does to you a person.
With a blend of plain truths, research based facts, insights from real situations and humor I engage audiences and give them something useful to take away and start applying now.

““Your Professionalism and Business Etiquette seminar was a great combination of serious and lighthearted coupled with real experiences. It was clear that both the seasoned professionals and younger professionals alike benefited from the discussions on fundamentals of business etiquette, social media usage as a professional and best practices to develop trusted professional relationships. Thank you for the materials as well, these will be a valuable resource. I enjoyed doing my own self-reflection after your seminar. “

“Thank you so much for speaking at CAHRA. I know our members really enjoyed learning about Social and Emotional Intelligence and found the information incredibly enlightening! What sticks with me most is how important, yet overlooked, social and emotional intelligence is not only in our places of business but in our personal lives as well. I am sure you have heard this before, but you are a great speaker! Your ability to engage others by using examples, real-life scenarios and humor is certainly a gift.”
