About

I focus on leadership development, engagement, customer service, workplace relationships, mentoring, executive coaching. Am Also a certified secondary English teacher in the USA.

I started my professional life in the high schools of Texas. For 10 years I taught English, Speech, Theatre, and Journalism. (I learned volumes about psychotic behaviors … ahhh teenagers…) After I decided to move up in the education hierarchy, I took a closer look at the job “principal” and realized this would be a misstep for me - too much police work. I decided to enter corporate America as a supervisor for Allstate Insurance, supervisor for meat manufacturing sales coordinators, sales national account coordinator for a subsidiary of Sara Lee. Not a good fit for me. In fact, it was during that experience that I learned that just because you can do something does not mean you should do it.

After a hard look at my job of three years in the meat business, I realized that the problem was not the company or the job - the problem was me. The things I liked to do the most were the things the meat company needed the least. We were simply the proverbial mismatch. Just a fact. Fortunately my dos and mentor fired me as he handed me a sheet of contact photos and said these should be used for my first brochure as a professional speaker. I now call that experience being fired in love.
If you are a teacher or you know a teacher, you know that most of us have a real estate license. I took earned my real estate license and leveraged my time to begin a speaking/training/coaching career with real estate to pay the bills. After close to 3 years, I joined a public seminar company as a free lance speaker that also led me into international speaking in 15 countries. From that growth was born the StrengthBank® Communication Workouts®. The workouts help me help you find your niche - where you are designed to be and functioning at the highest levels. I give presentations to corporate audience as well has high school audiences. Teach high school often.
