After getting a divorce, with a little boy and no college degree, I knew I had to go back to school and get my bachelor's. I didn't want to be one of those single moms who had to work three jobs just to make ends meet.

Three years of school, a part-time job as a secretary, and raising my son taught me a LOT about setting goals, staying focused, and daily perseverance.

(absolute necessities for building a business, btw)

After earning a BFA in Electronic Media, I got a job with Rand McNally (this was when they were the #1 map company in the world) as an Admin Assistant. In six years, I worked my way up to Project Manager.

More goal setting, more focus, and more daily perseverance.

I started feeling the itch to do something else. Working in the corporate world just wasn't a good fit.

I returned to school to get a Master's in Community Counseling and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.

During grad school, I realized that doing clinical work wasn’t going to cut it for me.

It didn't feed ALL of me.

While I had a love for psychology and helping people, I also had a love of business, systems, design, and technology.

I knew there was something else out there for me. And so I went searching.

During school I’d started to hear things about ‘coaching’ as its own profession, separate from therapy.

After graduating and earning the Ph.D. next to my name, I decided to give coaching a try.

I put my shingle out as a coach... and proceeded to flounder for about two years.

In my previous roles I’d been the master of organization and focus. But now I was the master of overwhelm and spaghetti throwing.

Fortunately, the CEO of a multi-million dollar coaching organization saw the value I was providing through a few consulting gigs and invited me onto his leadership team.

And that's when I started figuring things out.

During the next four years, I helped the organization double its revenue from 2.5 million to over 5 million and win the Inc 5000 fastest growing companies award 3 years running.

During that time, I was the team leader on several teams — growth, marketing, customer service, systems, and live events.

(Not all at once, btw. ;-)

My goal was to treat this work as a well-paid business and marketing internship. Learning everything I could from them...

... while also taking about a zillion courses, reading a ton of books, attending live events in marketing, business, etc...

... and building my own coaching business on the side.

Eventually, my coaching business was supporting me. So I left that organization and ventured back out on my own full time.

But I knew there was more I could be doing to help coaches gain the clarity and focus I wish I'd had when I first started.

So I developed the Coaching Genius System, a simple 5-part framework that helps coaches stop throwing spaghetti and gain the clarity needed on the most important pieces to growing a successful coaching business.

Next, I developed what's become my signature program: The Coaches Accelerator. The Accelerator helps coaches speed up their journey to building a business they love — from setting up the foundation to doing the tech, marketing, sales, and beyond.

This is a quick 5-module starter course that helps you gain clarity on the most important steps to take in your business. Here's what you'll get...
