RssProfessional Speaker, Trainer and Mentor

I want to put my speaking and mentoring skills to work with people who truly want to make positive changes in their lives. I want to positively impact people's lives and business relationships. Ideally I would work with companies who have a sincere desire to help their employees grow professionally and personally. I do not have a specific "job" in mind, I want to connect with growth oriented, forward moving, positive thinking companies that I can assist on their road to success!
