I didn’t build this by having everything figured out—I built it by learning how to think clearly and act anyway.
That’s what I help others do now.
For over two decades, I’ve built and grown businesses by making decisions, adapting quickly, and following through. Along the way, I realized something: success isn’t just about strategy—it’s about how you think.
That became even more clear when I started coaching over 12 years ago. What began with helping one struggling teenager turned into working with people of all backgrounds—and the pattern is always the same: when your thinking changes, everything else follows.
Today, I help individuals and entrepreneurs think clearly, make confident decisions, and create consistent growth in both life and business.
On top of that…
…I’m an introvert! Yep. And I didn’t know it until I was 42. When I learned what an introvert really is, everything started to make sense.
Why I felt sick before presentations.
Why starting conversations felt hard.
Why small talk drained me.
But what I realized changed everything—this wasn’t a limitation. It was a thinking pattern I could understand and work with.
Once I did, I learned how to use my personality, body language, and emotional intelligence to create confidence and presence—on demand. Now, people are surprised to find out I’m an introvert.
Not long after, I discovered something else I never expected:
My strongest skill as an entrepreneur is sales.
I used to think sales meant being pushy or extroverted. But sales is really about clarity, connection, and influence—and those are skills you can learn. That realization reinforced what I now teach every day:
Your results aren’t determined by your personality.
They’re shaped by how you think, how you communicate, and how you show up.
And since I specialize and “force” my clients to take assessments, let me share mine!
The first personality assessment measures how others perceive you when you’re at your best! Developed by Sally Hogshead, an advertising executive, after 10 years of research, her assessment shows how the world sees you versus other assessments that reveal how you see the world!
MY ARCHETYPE: GUARDIAN
PROMINENT | GENUINE | SURE-FOOTED
PRIMARY ADVANTAGE: POWER.
Power advantages speak the language of CONFIDENCE. I’m goal-oriented, decisive, and purposeful. However, I guide gently and lovingly because I love my clients. You’re the hero. I’m simply your guide.
“Power leads the way with authority and confidence. Power always has a plan, moves with purpose, and reaches its goals.”
SECONDARY ADVANTAGE: TRUST.
Trust advantages speak the language of STABILITY. I’m steady (especially in chaos), dependable, familiar, comforting (“like putting on your favorite pair of jeans”), and predictable. No surprises here! You have enough curve balls in business!
“Trust delivers consistently and reliably. Ever dependable, it maintains expectations, and thrives on being loyal and worthy of your business.”
highest and best values of the guardian
As a Guardian, I’m genuine and sure-footed. I have your best interests as a priority always (even at my own expense). I’m going to know what to do, and if I don’t know it, I’ll figure it out and then execute it for your benefit. You won’t have to worry about me not following through nor taking over.

My Enneagram Type
An Enneagram is a personality assessment that’s composed of nine types and reveals a “core belief about how the world works” and this then shapes your worldview and perspective. It’s a way to see how you perceive and helps you not to be limited in your thinking.
TYPE 8 THE CHALLENGER
I see myself as strong, powerful, and will stand up for what I believe in.
TYPE 3 THE ACHIEVER
I want to be successful (and want my clients successful). I do tend to be very conscious of my public image; however, that’s not as important now that I’m 47 than when I was 27! Age is a wise teacher.
TYPE 1 THE PERFECTIONIST
I like following the rules and doing things correctly (unless I think the rules are stupid ;)
Man! It sounds like I’m a handful. I promise. I’m easy to work with and you will walk away knowing I’ve got your back.
My Brand Personality
I created this assessment to help you to get a “feel” of your brand’s feel! Like how do you “feel” when you see Harley Davidson’s logo, products, or website? A little rebellious? And Ivory? How do you feel? Innocent? Pure? Clean? That’s what this assessment shows you about your brand feel. You can then use it to filter your social media content, website design, and anything else that communicates your brand feel and message.
THE SAGE
I’m all about knowledge, wisdom, and teaching others. Think Smithsonian. I’m a keeper of wisdom, logic, and intelligence. I love being the “go-to” for information. I have to be aware of lacking emotional connection.
MY DISC PERSONALITY
DC I’M DOUBLE-TASK FOCUSED, WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU NEED SOMETHING DONE, I MAKE IT HAPPEN!
DOMINANCE
I’m all about getting results, taking action, and displaying competency. I tend to be competitive but have learned to control that drive. I’m direct, self-confident, forceful, and take calculated risks.
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
I ensure quality, emphasize dependability, and have an extra dose of displaying competency. I love opportunities to use expertise and gain knowledge. I don’t like being wrong (but have learned to admit when I am) nor slipshod methods. I can tend to be skeptical and reserved, especially in new situations. But my D usually shows up and takes care of business!
I do have a dash of I in my personality meaning if I’m around another I, I’m very social, which makes me a social introvert (yep, there is such a thing).
