Born for training and public speaking, I jumped at every chance to provide training. Starting when I was just 14 years old as a swim instructor, I’ve been explaining things to people ever since.
Tutoring aspiring truck drivers on Motor Mechanics. Mentoring and supervising social work students on placement. Plain English and Business Services to public servants and professionals. Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) train the trainer workshops. Public Health education around Hepatitis C and Aids. Recycling programs for schools and public events…
When I discovered LinkedIn’s unlimited possibilities, I wanted to share this knowledge. Especially with socially engaged businesses, values-based entrepreneurs and purpose-driven business owners. Those who create impact with their work. I may have left my social work career, the social hasn’t left me!
The “CONNECT, CREATE, CONTRIBUTE” and “YOUR IMPACT INCUBATOR” programs and “THE MICRO-POST METHOD” are unique concepts I developed to help the do-gooders of the world market their services without sleaze-freeze procrastination.
Random Fun Facts:
