AS SEEN ON

Change Agent

When I was 22, it seemed like all of my hard work in the business world had finally paid off. But when disaster struck and left me with only less than a week’s worth of food, there were so many questions that needed answers – what am I doing wrong? Why isn’t this working out as planned?!

Then came the eureka moment: I had all these great ideas and the drive to invest and make more, but my foundation was weak. It took redefining myself and my professional path to get back up.

Now, I help individuals and corporations redefine success to ensure long term and impactful existence through strategies and teachable experiences I have gathered over the 20 years in entrepreneurship.

As I watched how she would interact with her classmates and demonstrate her innate leadership and communication skills, her success was inevitable.
