Change is one constant we all face. To embrace change is to your advantage if you wish to be successful over the long-term. But change is not easy. It takes energy and it doesn't happen overnight. Are you ready to move forward? It's normal to have some reservations or questions but you have to have the internal drive to face these gremlins and do what it takes to be successful.

see moreChange is one constant we all face. To embrace change is to your advantage if you wish to be successful over the long-term. But change is not easy. It takes energy and it doesn't happen overnight. Are you ready to move forward? It's normal to have some reservations or questions but you have to have the internal drive to face these gremlins and do what it takes to be successful. I've faced challenges of growth, change and redirection during my 20 years as a business owner, and as a non-profit executive. I am able to provide a sound base for you to launch your own change. My success evolves from the openness, trust and commitment I am able to establish with you, my client. My true passion is to see you succeed and this forms the foundation of our work as we, together, identify, plan and implement a solution that focuses on your goals and business or career objectives. My step by step proprietary system, probing questions and accountability allow you to break through your impasse and achieve more! I truly believe businesses and not-for-profits can achieve sustainable leadership if they balance people, profit and planet (the triple bottom line). Balance the competing priorities of head, heart and ego present a major challenge for many. I help resolve your own conflicts and identify positive action plans with measurable results.

A mature Japanese student has completed a business diploma but requires some work hours before actually graduating. She is available 5 days a week -- but could be shared between businesses. She knows word, excel, powerpoint, publisher and is willing to learn. I think you'll like her work ethic too.
