Podcast appearances and mentions of suzanne brown

In this episode of On Boards, hosts Joe Ayoub and Raza Shaik welcome Suzanne Brown, Director of New York Stock Exchange Board Services. She shares her unique career journey from law and the nonprofit world to board placement leadership at the New York Stock Exchange.  Suzanne unpacks how NYSE Board Services was created to bridge the gap between talented board-ready individuals and the NYSE companies that need them. Suzanne also explains their unique “CEO-vetted” approach, the powerful influence of the NYSE brand, and the structural components that make their board placement program effective and trusted. Suzanne leads an extensive network of over 1,000 CEO-vetted candidates.  The service averages 2 board searches a week for NYSE listed companies and since 2019 has helped place 50+ professionals on corporate boards.    Key takeaways 1. NYSE Board Services background NYSE Board Services was created in response to an obvious but under-addressed problem: many qualified candidates were being overlooked for board roles due to lack of network access, not lack of ability. The service is free for NYSE listed companies. Every candidate that enters the NYSE Board Services network has been vetted by the CEO of a listed company, who personally nominated them. The Board Exchange connects C-suite professionals with board opportunities, focusing on readiness, visibility, and long-term support. The program is made of 3 C's: Council, Candidates and Companies. The council is made up of a group of 24 prominent NYSE CEOs, the program has over 1,100 candidates and there are 2,400 companies with which the NYSE has built longstanding relationships. 2. Education is core to board readiness Suzanne explains that many of the candidates are first time board members. The NYSE Board Services team personally onboards each candidate and helps them prepare their profile and present their background, skill set and industry focus.  Candidates are also offered education through webinars and panels on topics such as global trends, governance, board culture, etc. All services are free of charge.  3. Board tenure is rising, CEO tenure is shrinking The average tenure for a board member has increased from 8 to 10 years and continues to increase while the turnover rate for CEOs has gone down to 4.8 years as of last year, the lowest ever. The board holds the continuity, but Suzanne encourages startup and pre-IPO companies to proactively set board term limits and retirement ages. This removes the need for awkward conversations years later and helps institutionalize clear expectations for rotation and rejuvenation. 4. Future of NYSE Board Services Suzanne's vision for the program is that every nom/gov of an NYSE-listed company will reach out to NYSE Board Services to refresh their board because the service is high-quality, high touch and successful.  Quotes “Our defining feature, our secret sauce, is that any candidate in our network has to be CEO vetted, and that means that a CEO of a listed company just has to personally vouch and stand for that person.” “We're a trusted resource. It's a natural extension for listed companies to look to us.”  “Part of what we do is make sure that our candidates… are aware of trends and understand what it's like to be in the boardroom, which is a unique culture.” Links nyse.com/board-services Guest Bio Suzanne Brown is the Director of NYSE Board Services, an exclusive resource dedicated to connecting highly qualified board candidates with NYSE-listed companies. She partners closely with CEOs and Board Directors to enhance governance practices and strengthen board leadership. Suzanne leads an extensive network of over 1,000 CEO-vetted candidates, facilitating strategic matches between talented individuals and companies in need of fresh board perspectives. Since 2019, NYSE Board Services has successfully placed 50+ professionals on corporate boards.  A Phi Beta Kappa graduate, Suzanne, earned a B.A. in History from the University of Vermont and a J.D. from Cornell Law School

The post Defining and Creating Work / Life Balance, with Suzanne Brown appeared first on Mom And Podcast.

How many of us have a hard time balancing life and work, but still have a smile on our face? How many of us struggle with implementing self-care, but we feel fine? So many of us are carrying the mental load of doing everything for work, our family, and our homes alone. We are trying to keep it all together, but deep inside we struggling. And, this has been one (not the top) of the reasons so many working moms have left the workforce in the last year (March 2020 to February 2021) - we are doing too much by ourselves. It is time for us to release the mental load we are carrying to others. We can not be our best selves, if we aren't able to release some of our responsibilities to others, so we can free up mental space for us. In today's episode, our guest Suzanne Brown, shares her personal experience implementing work and life balance. And, when other working moms saw how she was able to implement it, with ease, they wanted her secrets. So, she wrote two books to help working moms, the Mompowerment Guide for Part-time and Full-time working moms. Both books empower working moms to create the work-life balance they crave. Today, Suzanne shares that it is essential for us to release the mental load, or at least share it with our husband (or support system). It includes: Identifying what you care about and why it matters, and making it your priority Identifying what you can control and manage and let go (release) the rest Understand that our self-worth is not tied to what we can not control The conversation with Suzanne was encouraging, inspirational, and valuable and one that should be shared with your sister-moms, girlfriends, and colleagues. About Suzanne Brown: Suzanne Brown empowers companies to become more balance-friendly and professional working moms to create the work-life balance they crave.

The victims of the most serious crimes who are having to wait longer than ever for the police to turn up. Figures obtained by 5 Live Investigates reveal some of the biggest police forces in the UK are taking almost twice as long to respond to so called ‘grade one’ emergencies as they were five years ago. The programme hears from the parents of a schizophrenic who made an emergency call to the police saying they feared for his girlfriend’s safety because he was attacking her. When police arrived three hours later Suzanne Brown was found dead from multiple stab wounds. 5 Live’s findings follow a spate of fatal knife attacks this year which have prompted Britain’s most senior police officer Cressida Dick to warn cuts in police numbers are contributing to a rise in violent crime. The Home Office says it ensures police have the resources they need to carry out their vital work.

I don’t believe in this thing called Work/Life Balance...rather, I like to refer to it as intentional management of my values.  But Suzanne Brown does...so I invited her on to share why she does and, more importantly, HOW we can truly achieve it.   Suzanne should know a thing or two about work/life balance.  She’s a wife, mother of two boys, is a Marketing Strategist for seasoned businesses and...speaks and writes and consults about work/life balance to the masses.     Just like you, I would imagine, she has a few things she’s trying to balance.   During our conversation, Suzanne and I discuss…   Why she believes in work/life balance and what makes her version totally doable! How boundaries are a vital part of work/life balance because they become the backdrop to our time management and how we structure our priorities. Examples of what boundaries might look like in your business - processes in procedures, time blocks, etc. What to do when you’re phasing out of the balance you used to have, but isn’t working anymore.   This is a robust conversation about how to ultimately make it possible for you to have, be and do anything you could possibly want...with the added lines of “for this particular season” or “not all at once at the same time,” or whatever caveat makes it obvious that our priorities are always shifting!   You can find out more about Suzanne here → https://mompowerment.com/   ***   If you asked me what tool has been the most impactful for my business, I would without a doubt tell you it’s been MEDITATION.  Meditating has been a way for me to get quiet with myself and hear my inner voice who always knows what’s best for me.  Let’s face it, we women entrepreneurs are bombarded with social media feeds, events and so called experts telling us what we “should” do to grow out business and have success.  But at the end of the day, WE each know what the right moves are for us in order to feel truly fulfilled and aligned in our companies.   This is why I created the Meditation for Women Podcast...so that you can have a powerful tool, created with YOU IN MIND to help you hear your inner voice, find peace in moments of high anxiety and ultimately take the next best steps in your journey as a woman.  So go check it out! Just search for Meditation for Women in Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to this show and if you love it, subscribe, rate and review it! I would love to share this gift of meditation with you as you continue your beautiful journey!   Click HERE to check out Meditation for Women → https://goo.gl/m5YsKx *** Today’s show is brought to you by Active Campaign, the only email marketing system you’ll ever need.  After 9 years with the same email marketing provider, I was desperately searching for one that was simple, easy to manage and affordable.  Active Campaign easily stood out above the rest and I’ve been ridiculously happy with them ever since I made the switch! Emailing my community and creating automation series for special resources has never been so simple!     Whether you’re ready to start your first email marketing set up or you’re searching for a new provider, I highly recommend Active Campaign!  Go check them out at http://BizWomenRock.com/ac

Hello and welcome to this Episode #30 of the Mother’s Quest Podcast, a conversation I’m releasing for the second time with healer, artist, healthcare advocate and mom to two incredible girls Nancy Netherland. Between the hurricanes and the continuing devastation in Puerto Rico, the mass shooting in Vegas, and most recently the wildfires near where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I know so many people are struggling with how to find gratitude and meaning in the midst of adversity. I noticed myself coming back to the lessons I learned about finding magic, even in the most challenging circumstances, from Nancy’s stories about her and her daughters in this episode, originally #10. In our conversation, we explored how Nancy’s parents instilled a sense that anything is possible, something she has needed to draw on as she faced the loss of her husband and the serious, chronic illnesses of her daughters. And, she shared how she and her girls cultivate generosity and pay that generosity forward through something they created called “gratitools.” I decided to re-release the episode this week with a new dedication and challenge for all of us from my friend and colleague Lizzy Russinko. Lizzy recently moved with her family from Philadelphia to Petaluma in Northern California where they found themselves in the midst of the devastating wildfires. In her dedication, she shares a story of connection amid uncertainty and her commitment to engage her children in sharing some love and healing in her community. As we listen to this episode with Nancy, I invite us to think about where we can find magic and meaning during these difficult times.  And to join Lizzy in her commitment to pay forward love and kindness in some way to those who are suffering right now. Topics discussed in this episode: How Nancy’s parents influenced her childhood by teaching her that anything is possible Resiliency and mindfulness during traumatic events The importance of creating magic in our lives “Gratituding” as a verb Nancy’s favorite book “Man’s Search for Meaning” Advocating for your children’s health The importance of community, especially as a caretaker Building deep relationships with people of differing viewpoints Resources mentioned in this episode: Gratitool Choosing Gratitude Hepatitis C information Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Commonweal – where Nancy learned her framework for self-care Clinical Trials  a site that is open to the public to find life saving clinical trials UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital These Inspirational Notecards that Lizzy and her family will be passing around to her community This Week’s Challenge: Building on Nancy Netherland’s story, this challenge comes from Lizzy Rossinko who dedicated the episode. Over the next month Lizzy’s family is going to leave note cards of encouragement and hope around town for her neighbors to find and give, as their community at Sonoma County copes with the wildfires. This will be their little way of injecting magic and meaning into a time of significant adversity and change. Lizzy invites us to do something special to bring comfort and home in our neck of the woods. Announcements Mother’s Quest Circle Pilot You’re a mindful mother.

I’m excited to share this Episode #29 of the Mother’s Quest Podcast with renowned work/life wellness expert, intentional mom, bestselling author, and so much more – Samantha Ettus. Sam is the author of The Pie Life and The Pie Life Planner which is a playbook for working moms who want to balance the seven “slices” of a delicious life which includes career, health, relationship, children, community, friends and hobbies. She’s also raising two strong independent girls and a feminist son along with her husband in Los Angeles. Sam specializes in helping people thrive professionally and personally. Since earning her undergraduate and MBA degrees from Harvard, she’s coached thousands of professionals who aim to perform at the highest levels. She’s a bestselling author of five books, the CEO of Work Life Love, an entrepreneur, and Tedx and keynote speaker. She has also hosted a weekly nationally syndicated radio show and has appeared on Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, Access Hollywood, CNN and The TODAY Show among others. She’s given hundreds of keynotes and led workshops at corporations and conferences around the world. Samantha and I delve into the subject of how to sustain a thriving personal and professional life at the same time, the importance of keeping at least one foot in the career world while raising your children, and the power of the financial independence and fulfillment that brings, not only to women’s lives but to our children’s. By showing our children our enthusiasm in our work, and other parts of our lives, we model investing in a life with not one or two but seven meaningful slices. We also talk about the other important values Sam aims to teach her children by her example, the importance of honoring our bodies and seeing ourselves as beautiful in any size, to focus on the people who love you, not the haters or the 10% who will always be critical, and to let go of perfection and realize that the most delicious pies and lives are the ones that are messy, gooey, and real. Finally, Sam shares how she consciously built a community in Los Angeles after relocating from New York, going from not having anyone to put on her children’s emergency card at school, to cultivating meaningful relationships, catalyzed by a Yom Kippur break the fast Samantha threw that has now become an annual tradition for a hundred people. The challenge that emerged from our conversation was to focus on my slice of the pie that relates to building community. As a result of commitments you’ll hear me make on the podcast, I’ve set a date, October 28th, for a podcast listening party of my episode with Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin on the Age of the New Heroine followed by a Q & A with my friend Chelsea Bonini stepping into heroic challenges of her own as she runs for City Council. If you’re local to the Bay Area, I’d love for you to RSVP and join us. I also committed to throw my first break the fast after 20 years of feeling a bit adrift during this Jewish holiday away from my Los Angeles family. I consciously chose to make this a multicultural break the fast and we had children and adults of multiple generations and religions, eating, playing and talking together. It was a messy and delicious evening, and one that will become a new tradition in my E.P.I.C. Pie Life. Topics discussed in this episode: Samantha’s upbringing as a competitive tennis player in New York and the influence her mother had on her to become strong and independent. Sam’s belief that women should be financially independent and have careers so they will always have options. How being fully present in her work helps Samantha to be fully present for her children The benefit of sharing our enthusiasm for our work with our kids and modeling a fulfilling work life The Pie Life metaphor and how the messy gooey pies are the most delicious Sam’s commitment to teach and model to her children a positive body image and the belief that we are beautiful at any size How to plan for our lives, the benefits of a paper planner and a bit about how Samantha created her Pie Life Planner The importance of letting go of guilt How Samantha consciously built community after moving to LA from New York The importance of perspective, how life should be lived in moments, and how enjoying our lives (including making time for things like date nights) set an example for our children for how to live a full life The challenge I accepted to invest in community gatherings to build connections in my own life Resources mentioned in this episode: Mother’s Quest Podcast Ep 14: Breaking the Mold and Finding your Worth with Amanda Steinberg Mother’s Quest Podcast Ep 26: Surrender and Embracing Difference with Debbie Reber of TILT Parenting for “Differently-Wired” Kids Tilt Parenting Podcast Episode 29: What it Takes to Live a Healthy, Fulfilled Life as Mother to a Differently-Wired Kid, with Samantha Ettus Mother’s Quest Podcast Ep 02: Unmasking Motherhood with Katherine Wintsch Sam’s latest book, The Pie Life and The Pie Life Planner Sam’s TEDx Talk – The Secret to Unlocking a Child’s Potential This Week’s Challenge: Commit to meaningful gatherings. I accepted the challenge to say yes to “parties” and had my very first multi-cultural Yom Kippur break the fast celebration at our home. It was an amazing experience filled with friends and family of different generations and religions who came together and helped me deepen my Bay Area roots in new ways. Another challenge Sam gave is to create a community around the Podcast. I’ve decided to combine a listening part of a favorite episode, with Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin on Intersectionality and the Age of the New Heroine along with a Q & A with my friend Chelsea Bonini who is stepping into her own heroine’s journey as she runs for City Council. If you have a podcast or love listening to podcasts, you can create a party in your community, build relationships, and cultivate friendships. Stay tuned for a future opportunity to have Samantha visit the Mother’s Quest Private Facebook Group for a Live Q & A and Check-in on the Challenge. Announcements Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America At the time of this recording in October 2017, we are reeling as a nation from the recent mass shooting in Las Vegas. Like so many other moms, I’ve felt a range of feelings from despair to rage about the state of our country and fear for my childrens’ safety. And I’ve also felt more committed than ever to use my voice and continue to develop what I’ve been calling an “activist muscle” to advocate for critical change like gun law reform. This week I made a donation and have been following calls to action from an organization called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. If you want to join a group of powerful mothers advocating for gun law reform, take a moment right now and text ACT to 64433 to get started. Mother’s Quest Circle Pilot You’re a mindful mother.

Women entrepreneurs need to learn from each other and in this episode, Suzanne Brown is here to share her insight from her 110 interviews she has conducted for her new book, Mompowerment, and her decades of corporate and entrepreneurial work. There is so much value and goodness in this podcast (even if you aren't a mom). Suzanne is a wife and mother to two young boys. She works as a strategic marketing and business consultant, who helps larger companies work better with their marketing agencies. In addition to her marketing consulting, she is the author of the book that just came out called Mompowerment. The book shares stories, insights, and advice from more than 110 professional part-time working moms who she interviewed and empowers moms to think differently about their career approach. Suzanne blogs weekly about topics related to work, family, time management, productivity, networking, and work-life balance. IN THIS EPISODE 3:30 I, Tonya, ask for a fun fact from my guests and your fun fact was that you've been to 40 countries before you turned 40. How was that? It was Ireland and it was so cool. We traveled with our boys and the hotel rooms were really well set up for families. We live in Austin, TX and we'd never ridden on a train or a double-decker bus. We got to talk about dungeons and go to castles. The highlight of the trip according to the boys was high tea. 7:07 Why did you think about writing this book in the first place? It was during coffee with a friend and we needed to know if there was a place to help working moms out, a place where you can ask questions about becoming an entrepreneur and make a living. I didn't have a place for that and when we researched, there was not a resource for that. Which became me creating that resource for moms who want to transition from corporate. There are a lot of resources for moms who stay at home, but there is not a place where those stories are shared from hedge fund managers transitioning and still making 6-figures. And those who are making 20-hours a week and continuing their career. The truth is, it's definitely doable. When I looked at the numbers and researched, those who are working part-time as a stay at home mom, are making the typical salary. And that's in between 25 or 28 hours. 13:28 The one thing that moms did talk about, who have been very successful in either staying in the corporate world or going into the entrepreneur world, is that they knew their value. They went and did their own thing and they didn't think they needed to keep all their hours but instead knew that they could bring value to the table and being able to speak around that. There wasn't a tentative "maybe" but "this is what I bring" and they knew they could bring a lot to the client and charge for it. 15:31 When women go into business for themselves, they think their value is what people are willing to pay. You need to remember that things that are easy for you, are not easy for others. Think about what you're good at versus what others are naturally good at and then think about what it means to the person you're talking to. If it's the linchpin for their business, then they're going to see that value. Also, look at who you are and what you bring. You have your expertise and your own perspective and speaking to that is important. The moms I talked to had built businesses around that area where they were different and what difference set them apart. 18:36 Almost all the moms I talked to were in corporate America at one point. There were less than five who had been entrepreneurs the whole time. 38 percent of the moms I talked to are entrepreneurs right now. And for most of them, the ah-ha mindset shift was one of two things: something has to shift on my schedule and I need to scale back on my work. Or it was when they hit a block in the corporate world, they had always wanted to be an entrepreneur and decided that they were done in that company. There are a lot of reasons why there was a change that needed to happen and that shift took place. Instead of saying that they're going to crunch a little harder, and be a little better at their job, they decided they were done. That shift was important for them to recognize they were done.  20:55 While they didn't talk specifically about the word mentor, that was what they were talking about. And that was on the entrepreneur side and on the corporate side. If you can talk to someone who is going through the same thing, you will have women who are able and willing to help them find the same solutions and share their story. Almost everyone said they had talked to someone, even if it wasn't necessarily a mentor. I would say too that if you're starting a business, it's better to look for a sponsor and a mentor, or both. That person can introduce you to new clients or team members. They can introduce you to others and help you open doors to others. In my own corporate life, I had a mentor who was actually a sponsor who was higher up in the business I was working at. There was one person who would talk to people on my behalf and recommend that I work for them. A mentor wouldn't do that and a manager wouldn't do that. One of the people I worked with was at a marketing agency is someone I no longer have a business relationship with because I don't work for that company anymore, but he's still providing me work by suggesting and he's giving me referrals to a large number of ideal clients. I just reconnected with him formally and I asked him how I can help him. He asked me to help him in an area I'm strong in and I was able to return the favor. 30:58 Things in relation to productivity are very necessary for success. Figuring out if you're more successful in the morning or afternoon. Batching is important because you get into the groove of what you're working on. I use the Pomodoro method and set a timer to 25 minutes to work that amount, then break for five minutes. I also break things into 3 goals for the most in one day. You need to think about the steps to achieving the goals that you want to do. That was one thing that moms repeatedly came up for those moms who were successful. You have to be clear on what you're going for. The number one tip I heard was to network. When you are a working mom, you might say that you don't have time to network. My thing is that you can network where you are. You can network at a company if you're getting ready to leave, talk to them about what you're getting ready to do. You can do coffee chats online. Don't focus on your kids during this time. It's easy to talk about the kids and life, and you have to be able to transition the conversation to a professional one. 35:06 Another top tip was set and maintain your boundaries. You want to work part-time and be paid for part-time, then you need to recognize your value. It's also really good to set your boundaries of how often you're going to respond to your clients and when you're going to get back to them.  36:42 The other tip I heard repeatedly was that you have to get help. That can be trading babysitting with another mom, getting a babysitter, a housecleaner, whatever that help is to you. It's really hard to be a working mom and you need to ask for help. And we take it all on. Who has time for all of those things and how many of them are really important? Can you ask for help? Asking for help is a really hard thing to do. Some people might struggle with saying no. If you reposition it as saying no to one thing, but saying yes to something else. And that might be time with your family or self-care. Good is good enough is a mantra that I subscribe to. Not a lot of entrepreneurs are slackers, and their 80 percent is probably someone else's 110 percent. If you say yes to something, can you say that it's good enough instead of everything being perfect? [bctt tweet="You need to remember that things that are easy for you, are not easy for others and there is value in that." username="tonyarineer"] KEY TAKEAWAYS I couldn't find the resources I wanted so I decided to make the resources we needed. The one thing that moms did talk about, who have been very successful in either staying in the corporate world or going into the entrepreneur world, is that they knew their value. You need to remember that things that are easy for you, are not easy for others and there is value in that. While they didn't talk specifically about the word mentor, that was what they were talked about the success of having one. Things in relation to productivity are very necessary for success.

This episode is dedicated to all those women in the workforce who are trying to strike the perfect balance between their professional life and personal life, to those women who want to be empowered in their career and still carve out significant time for their partner and children. I’m one of them, and so is today’s guest.   Suzanne Brown is a strategic marketing and business consultant, speaker, and an expert on and an advocate for professional part-time working moms. She's also the author of a new book that's coming out in September, called Mompowerment: Insights from Successful Professional Part-time Working Moms Who Balance Career and Family.   In this episode of Women Worldwide, Suzanne encourages all the mothers in our audience to think differently about their career approach, plus explains how employers can (and why they should) support women who choose a part-time or flexible career path.   In This Episode Research that supports part-time work schedules for moms The mindset shift women need if they want a nontraditional schedule Tips for becoming more efficient with your time at work The importance of discussing work/life balance with the women around us How to discuss the transition with your team at work   Quotes in This Episode “[Early in my career], all the models that I had of working moms didn't really show me work-life balance... I really wanted to own my life again; I wanted my life back.” —Suzanne Brown   “Not all of us can spend 24/7, 52 weeks year with our significant others, so having that work to still keep you engaged can be very important—but it can actually keep you happier… In all of the many bits of research that I did, I found it really interesting that part time working moms are actually happier than full time working moms and stay-at-home moms.” —Suzanne Brown   “There is a kind of a mind shift that has to happen, because when you go to work part-time, it's generally not just cutting your hours. You have to think differently about working part-time. You have to think about your productivity a little bit differently.” —Suzanne Brown   “All of the generations are coming at it from a different approach but their end goal is the same. ‘I want more work-life balance. I want more control over my schedule. I want more time with my family." And that might not necessarily be with their kids. It might be with grandkids, or it might be with their aging parents. It looks different based on who you're talking to.” —Suzanne Brown   “In all the conversations that I had when I was in grad school or as a college age student, I didn't really hear about work-life balance… That just wasn't a constant conversation that I was having. But I think that if we can get that information out there, we can learn from each other.” —Suzanne Brown   Resources Mompowerment The Mompowerment Community on Facebook and Twitter Writing from Laura Vanderkam

She describes the amazing variety of solutions other working moms have used to create more time for their families and themselves. You’ll receive some tips you can use to begin to craft your own part-time schedule, even if you work for a demanding company, and even if no one else in your organization is doing it. You’ll also hear the broader social shifts that are occurring across the U.S. that we hope will support companies to adapt to working family needs so we can keep talented working parents in the workplace.    Show Notes:  Episode WPR003 Resources & Links Mentioned in this Episode: Suzanne Brown Contact Info: Website & Blog: http://mompowerment.com Ted Talk: “It’s Time to Create Professional Part-Time Working Mom Opportunities” List Your Leave Working Parent Resource Website Facebook Community About the Working Parent Resource: The Working Parent Resource is dedicated to helping ambitious working parents acquire the information, insights, and tools they need to create a more intentional and fulfilling life that reflects their deepest values and priorities.  Sarah Argenal, the host of the Working Parent Resource Podcast, has her Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy and Adult Development, and is a Certified Professional Coach with over 15 years of experience in counseling, coaching, teaching, course development, and project management.
