Best Story
I was once training a stiff group of employees at a mandated training on Effective Communication (there had been a lot of challenges with team dynamics and difficult people.) Needless to say no one was happy to be there (except me!) and so I needed to make a quick pivot. I could feel the dread as I was introducing myself. With both a live audience and virtual I decided to risk it and start with some dead pan wit, " I wore black so I could look thin on camera..." The joke was I was 9 months pregnant. It broke the ice!
Origin Story
Life is about transitions personally and professionally. I started out as a clinical social worker who also trained hospital staff on intercultural communication. From there I went on to work for an EAP as a Training and Development Director and found my voice. As a founder, you have to constantly pivot, take risks, and sometimes move forward with not everything clear - the aha moment is enjoy the ride - sounds cliche but you never know who you are going to meet or where it's going to lead you. Most importantly try to learn something from everyone you meet.
