About Me

Business coach, small business consultant, human resource training and development. I am passionate about my work, my chosen profession and the direction my company is headed. I don't mind the long hours because I see the results immediately. There is nothing more rewarding than a satisfied client whose business is profitable because of MY counsel.
As for my personal life, I live in Fort Lauderdale, love to travel, dine out, dance, hang out at the beach with a good book (so I can nap and tan, nap and tan... see the multitasking?) :)
Don't be afraid to show off how smart you are with me. Trust me. You'll impress me more that way. Have an opinion. Take a stand. Believe in something. Stay positive. Design a plan. Take action. Be about something. Don't just float, SWIM!
I am at peace with myself, with the world, and with you. No beef, no hangups, no complaints, no gory stories... Every moment is a chance to create magic. So create your life, instead of playing out history and prophecies.
As for men, I love you guys. You are so sweet, and so simple. Guys are really very simple: Keep 'em clean, fed, sexed up, give 'em a purpose (cuz if they're bored, they'll find something to do, look at Bush!), and you got yourself a happy man. Ain't life grand!
In the spirit of offering something for all the budding entrepreneurs and business moguls out there,

This is important:
Emails that imply you haven't read my profile, or that indicate you cannot muster enough mental energy to send more than a "sup ma" message will get just as much mental energy to get deleted... Remember the law of attraction: like begets like :)

My Interests

Spoken Word, water sports, volleyball, reading and its many ensuing discussions...

I'd like to meet:

Entrepreneurs, small business owners and leaders, college students majoring in business (and any branch thereof), people of strong character.

One of my favorite quotes: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” --Marianne Williamson, A Return To Love
