I'm a social media strategist and business coach.
I’m passionate about helping companies understand what is happening with social media, what that means for their business and how they can operate more effectively in the new business environment, including how to manage the risks as well as seize the opportunities. In short, my focus is on helping businesses navigate the social web.
I bring to the table wide experience in executive roles, as a consultant and as a coach. Social media has transformed my business and with only the most modest outlay of funds, has given me a global reach that would simply not have been feasible when I started out in business as a communications consultant.
A founding member of the International Association of Coaching, it is my privilege and joy to work as a coach with men and women who are already successful and ready to meet the challenge of their next step. In the words of one of the key coaching proficiencies of Coachville-trained coaches, my guiding purpose as a coach is to elicit the greatness in my clients.
