• Certified business and personal life coach at Rose Coaching

  2008

  "Life is supposed to be fun."- Abraham Hicks. Sometimes we want more from life. I specialize in time management skills, project management training and work/life balance strategies. I work with highly motivated and committed individuals that are already doing quite well. Even though these dynamic individuals are successful, they feel they are not living the life they really want or living the life they think they should be. When we integrate all that we are into what we do, we are free from doubt. We are at our best because we are working through inspiration. But it's difficult to follow one's passion, if we don't know what inspires us. Or we can't find the time. I help creative individuals identify and tap into what excites and delights them. Through this collaborative relationship, we define a creative and practical approach to continually and eagerly move forward. We also work on strategies for a more well-rounded and balanced life. The result is having the time to do everything that really matters to us.
