It is said that "the best job is one that you would do even if you didn't need the money".* While coaching a client, I often think, if I didn't need the money, I would do this for free. Coaching is not so much about the techniques and strategies I share with my clients, as it is about seeing the transformation of people.

If you are not currently productive, organized and profitable, imagine being those things: You are empowered within the context of a business that works, and you are free to live a life you love and spend more time with the people you love. I have made it my job to offer power and freedom to others through increasing their productivity, getting them organized and creating a profitable business model.

So what's my story? My fiancé Steve and I live in south Minneapolis near Lake Harriet. I love the neighborhood so much, I plan to grow old here. I grew up in Northfield, MN. My dad is my inspiration. When I was little, he would say to me "As you grow up, I don't care what you become as long as you are happy. That's all I want for you."

When I began my business, my dad began occasionally sending me copies of an inspiring column by Havey Mackay*. The word "inspiration" comes from the Latin word for "to breathe life into". My dad gave me life, and he continues to give me life. His love for me gives me the energy to pursue my dreams, and for that I am grateful. I understand that not everyone gets the privilege of having a dad as great as mine.

A little more about me on a personal level, if you're interested. Currently, my favorite book is Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. My favorite magazine is Real Simple.

A few of my favorite things are yoga, nature, and a colorful and crisp autumn day in Minnesota.

A few of my favorite quotes are: "Love is when my heart touches your heart and adds to who you are." -Horst Rechelbacher

"All bliss is in the moment. The past is something we need to learn from, honor and let it go." -Unknown

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... Wow! What a ride !!!" -Landmark Education Seminar

May this year be your best year yet,

Sincerely,
