“Impacting community one life at a time.”

What I offer represents a wealth of diversity in personal development. My bilingual abilities cross cross-cultural barriers to provide coaching and training for organizations locally and abroad.

I am a life learner, with an academic pedigree of Traumatology, Theology, and D. Min in Crisis Response and Suicide Prevention. Additionally, I am a franchise owner. Team building and work culture are a passion of mine to empower. I also have the honor of being a TEDx presenter.

I have the ability to equip others to overcome obstacles to increase productivity and empower individuals to realize their untapped potential.

I am passionate about God, life, and empowering others to learn how to thrive in life. How do crisis response and business have to do with each other? Crises arise at work or as a direct result of what is brought to the marketplace.

I often use the unique but impacting visual aided of twisted balloons to connect with audiences. Engaging all learning styles is crucial. The use of visual aids so unexpected leave lasting impressions of what was “taught so that it is caught.”

A keen understanding of personality dynamics and past experiences impacts how a person is able to recognize or resolve conflict be it internal or external. I provide skills that “train the brain” by starting with individual personality then calculating intellectual and emotional and socio-quotients that all factor into human interaction and individual productivity.

Proficiency in conflict resolution stems from continued personal development and front-line response to critical incidents. With a focus on conflict prevention and stress management, as an intervention specialist, I provide skills that equip and empower individuals to navigate stress toward mental wellness holistically.

I am familiar with what it takes to overcome external and inner conflict. I advocate and share my content and message a living proof that achievement through determination is possible.

Today’s highly stressed society needs help. Road rage, disasters, terrorism, victims of crime, traumatic events impact organizational bottom lines.

“Stress costs U.S. businesses roughly $300 billion a year as a result of absenteeism, reduced productivity levels, and employee turnover.”

Can your organization afford not to address conflict resolution, stress management, or communication skills? No!
