The main focus of my practice is public speaking. As an Advanced Toastmaster and member of the National Speaker’s Association, I am in my element when addressing an audience. It is my great joy to provide participants with useful, practical tools, tips, and techniques to help them enjoy healthy relationships both at work and at home. Most people are not well versed in CPR – Conflict Prevention & Resolution and I aim to help change that.

I always strive to ensure my presentations meet the specific needs of my client. I also add in generous amounts of activity and appropriate humor to make them easy to listen to and apply.
