How I got started as a Coach & Trainer

In 2007 I had the privilege of listening to Jack Canfield, author of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series and "The Success Principles," and one of the stars of the popular movie "The Secret," give the keynote speech at an international conference.  It was the most memorable keynote I'd ever heard. I was so impressed and I recall thinking to myself, "I would love to share what he's teaching."  

In 2010, I realized my dream of training with and being personally mentored by Jack Canfield when I was selected as one of only 20 people worldwide to attend an exclusive retreat with him and other world-renowned transformational leaders. The retreat changed my life and the views I held about myself and my own potential.  In Jan 2011 I was selected to be one of Jack's legacy trainers and was personally coached by him to teach The Success Principles--the same information he'd given at that keynote talk that captivated me.  The Success Principles are the foundation for my coaching and training experiences which are designed to empower people to get from where they are to where they want to be.
