“Hello and thanks for stopping by.  One of the hardest things to do is to write about yourself!  So here we go.

The thing that gets me out of bed in the morning is what I call the ‘click.’ It’s the sound you hear when someone you are speaking to finally gets it, the information clicks into place and you can see in their eyes that this will change the way they do things. I LOVE that! I love helping people shine. I believe that we all have the ability to be persuasive and engaging speakers; we just need to be shown the way.
