I am passionate about leadership excellence. I enjoy using my teaching concepts to develop business, government, non-profit, education, and church leaders in both practical and principled leadership skills. My goal is to inspire, encourage, and equip leaders and help them find spiritual purpose and passion in their jobs, find a career that fits them perfectly, using their strengths and talents, and practicing intentional leadership.
