We ALL come to a CROSSROADS in our lives, but do we have the tools to cross that road?

Pushing people to think out of their box to see what they can achieve makes me buzz! 
Helping people shift their mindset is what gets me up everyday! I believe that with the correct mindset - in any shape or form, can change any individuals life.

17 years ago I was on track to becoming an academic, but when I think back about what I enjoyed, yes the research was fun and exciting BUT learning and watching how peoples mindsets worked in all facets from social, cultural and academic settings blew my mind. 

Working with young people over the last 13 years has shown me how the mindset we have and we are lead to believe we must have has shifted dramatically. . They have just needed a guide/mentor/a coach to show them this. These last 13 years have strengthened my skills from one on one communication to large scale group workshops. From dealing with tears and heartache to joy and happiness. 

Arming myself with the tools to be an E-DISC practioner, an NLP Master Prac, a MindsetRX Coach, Mindfulness trainer and years of experience working with people has allowed me to thrive.

I have honed in the tools to help the people I work with make that Crossroad  something they can tackle.
