Change is difficult. Even when we want to change, it is a challenge. One change leads to another, and then, everything seems too hard, so we resort back to old patterns; what is comfortable.

There are ways to make change easier. With practice, specific techniques can help us to overcome the seemingly insurmoutable obstacles that we perceive to be in our way.

As your coach I can provide the expertise, support and structure to help you continue to move forward as you work through the changes in your life. And before you know it, the change is no longer the challenge but your choice.

No Child Left Behind, increased standardized testing, fewer graduates to replace retiring teachers and budget cuts are just a few of the challenges facing those who are charged with the education of our youth.

My background in community health education, as well as my experience as a department chair in a community college, overseeing early childhood education and teachers prep programs has provided me with a strong grasp of the challenges in education. Add to that having raised two children who attended both public and private schools.

Let me help you find the tools to regain your passion for your field, or take the steps to make a change to re-discover the passion that you had when you began in your profession.

Most of my career has been either in working in the health care field, or teaching future health care works, including nurses, laboratory technicians, respiratory therapists and others.
