Over the past 20 years, I worked in a variety of capacities in the training/consulting, management, logistic, and sales sectors. I began my career working in the Humanitarian Aid Agency and then branched off into hospitality, technology and wireless industry. I have provided leadership and guidance in matters of life coaching, hospitality, account management, sales, and training delivery to various institutions.
Coupled with my practical experience in IT training/sales and management, I have been updating my knowledge with many professional courses in the area of adult education, project management, and leadership. Those certification programs have served as an invaluable tool in enhancing my role as a Certified Training Consultant and as a manager in the IT and wireless industry.
I have worked with a number of reputable organizations, non-profit, and contact centers to perform training, develop management and employees, evaluate sales and retention risks and/or implement programs. As of late I am expanding my knowledge in the area of change management and Occupational Health and Safety

When people ask me, “What do you do?” I respond, “What do you need done?” After the initial chuckle I then ask, “What are your organization’s two biggest problems?” The problems are usually to make the cash register ring…louder – a marketing issue – and some sort of people problem – a training issue. Thus, I do marketing and training. Two of my goals are to make you look good to both your boss and your people and to exceed your training expectations for a maximum return on the investment of your training dollar$. I’m a high-energy, dynamic trainer and keynote speaker who uses humor to make learning fun. I bring over 25 years of experience to your training room with a track record of satisfied customers. My mission is to treat each client as if they were my “ONLY” client. Now, here is where I differ: As a behavioral psychologist, I suggest that you provide me with two lists: 1.The skills and behaviors YOU would like the participants to come away as a result of training 2.The skills and behaviors the PARTICIPANTS themselves would like to learn I then deliver a custom value-added training program meeting the needs of BOTH groups. While training programs come across your desk constantly, take a minute to review my list of “meat and potatoes” seminars and keynote addresses. Many are the hot, new, and fresh topics while others address the basics. I guarantee they will produce immediate results and positive behavior change, increase productivity, and contribute to your organization’s goals.
