Moxie Chat Highlights:

1. How do you define SUCCESS?

I feel and am successful when I see my clients go from feeling unsure or frustrated in their abilities to communicate and lead for themselves and others in their business to stepping to their greatness as a leader in every way that creates a positive impact for everyone they work with, both inside and outside of their business, by using an enhanced executive presence in their communication that shines out their abilities and influence that results in up-leveling their business brand, bottom line, and truly makes a difference in this world.

2. Share the THREE WORDS that describe you BEST and why!

Powerful, Dynamic, and Impactful – I feel these three words describe me because I live and coach through the mantra of approaching life through Grace and Strength.  I believe when you live in this way you naturally have the ability to attract and create powerful circumstances that can help to make a difference in other peoples lives.

3. What is the best advice you have ever received?

The best advice I have ever received was from my Grandma.  She told me to always bring your happiness with you everywhere you go.

4. What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I am a salsa dancer.  I love to dance and on the dance floor is my happy place!

5. If you could go back 11 years – what would you tell yourself?

Don’t wait to step into your Greater Self…This time is now to do it!

6. What is one habit you are trying to build?

I am a life long learner and like to find ways to make things more streamlined.  I am always open to learning more things, especially when it comes to running my business.  I actively work to create systems to help my business and life run more efficiently.

7. How do you make a difference in your client’s lives?

One of the biggest differences I make for my clients is to help them discover who their Greater Self is and how to actively live in that.

8. What does MOXIE mean to you?

Moxie means bringing your fun and dynamic self to every moment in life.

9. What does a “perfect day” in your life look/feel like?
