Mindful Talks
I consider myself passionate about inspiring and educating others and believe in the value of sharing my experience, training and overall knowledge outside of my office. I am true to my approach in working with people that come into my office; I am mindful and intentional in the topics I agree to present or be interviewed on. Below is a list of topics I have been featured and presented on. Check out the podcast and media features by clicking on each title!
I am available for interviews, to speak at events and conferences, be a guest lecturer for college students and to conduct workshops for companies/organizations.
