I've been building communities across Europe since Y2K. Before we liked each other on Facebook, before we became a number on someone's mailing list, I was helping humans connect to humans.

I see patterns where others see chaos. I use those patterns to connect the dots and develop strengths-based solutions which grow communities and help small businesses thrive.

By getting clear, getting focused and taking action, together we can make small changes to create big impact.

I believe that we all have the ability to build the business we truly want to run and to create the communities we want to live in while still making the impact (and income) we deserve.

I speak on a wide range of topics, including:

Community Building
Productivity
Small Business Growth
Resilience
Living a Life You Love While Running Your Business

The talks I give are:

Fast Paced
Story Driven
Filled with "AHA!" and "Me Too!" moments
Motivational
Action Focused
