What is your business style?

I’m a go-getter. If I see a problem or opportunity, I dive right in. With my clients, I’m an excellent listener. Part of my expertise is hearing what people need and helping them achieve it.

How do you impact your clients?

They are more productive, personally and professionally. They feel calmer and less anxious. They feel more energy and often feel more confident about taking on new endeavors (like starting a business).

What organizations do you enjoy contributing to?

We support activities that promote teen and young adult well-being locally, nationally, and globally. Most of our weekly youth classes, annual camps, and semi-regular trainings are free or low cost for teens and young adults. It’s a huge investment for us, but we’re totally committed to doing what we can to see youth grow into young adults full of life and excitement about the life ahead of them.

What are your greatest wins?

I just got my Harvard Kennedy School certificate for completing their Leadership, Organizing, and Action: Leading Change class. I learned about organizing change on a local level, and I met so many people from all over the world. In 2019, I gave a TEDx talk at TEDxWilmetteWomen and it was a triumph for me personally and professionally.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

Try one of my classes. You will probably be surprised how much better you can feel. And you will be surprised by how different Practice HORA is from other types of training.
