While I began my executive coaching career in 2003, I have over 31 years of experience in leading a range of companies and participating effectively in teams. Adventures in business include working as a controller in manufacturing; president and owner of a private fiduciary company established to manage conservatorships, guardianships, trusts and estates; and most recently, managing director for a large trust division in a national bank.
In 2005, I established the Itafari Foundation with two incredible women who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Together we have created a non-profit organization to assist the survivors of the genocide in Rwanda. This is being done in many ways, including donations to organizations and individuals in Rwanda and by inspiring the women and children to have hope and to realize their empowerment to rebuild better lives.
Entrepreneur, team leader, team player, sales trainer, consultant, speaker, board member, and auditor — all are titles I've held over the years, giving me valuable and varied experiences as a leader who is followed.
I received a B.S. in Business from Indiana University. Specialized training as a coach is received from Coach University and Dream Coach University. These trainings consist of over 280 hours of course work, coaching and ongoing education.
Certification from Organization Systems International to employ the Polaris™ Competency Model and 360° Survey.
I bring to coaching an unquenchable desire to see people become their personal best, a background broad in experiences, and a focus and energy enabling people to reach their greatest heights.
"Clients with whom I partner are driven, intelligent, creative, open to looking at the impossible for the solution and seeking to have not only a life of success but a life of significance."
"Coaching helps you focus on the possibilities. Reconnect with the part of you that is fearless and believes you can make a difference. Partnering with someone whose only goal is for you to reach your goals will allow you incredible freedom and success in any area of your life where you choose to focus."
"We all have the power to live our dream. I invite you to dust off your dream today. Together, we'll bring it to reality."
"As a professional speaker, my signature theme is "Empowering the Leader Within". Each presentation is tailored to meet your organization's specific goals and challenges."
Excerpt from a speech given at the United Nations on April 7, 2006:
"We are an organization made up of more than just wazungu (white people), though there are a number of us. We are also African American, Rwandan survivors, lawyers, writers, screenwriters, musicians, housewives, retired executives, professors of African history, students and children and most importantly: we are people who care and believe that one person can make a difference.
We are all concerned citizens of the world who do not have all the answers but seek a better life for ourselves and others.
When you have the ability and space to create something for another, you should act. "
