Hello!
Throughout my 20+ years of coaching leaders in the corporate workplace, my passion has always been digging to the root of a problem and finding lasting solutions. I thrive on challenges, target success, and I like to have a whole lot of fun in the process!
My mission in life is to spread positive energy and encourage others in their personal or professional growth.
I like being known as a Mountain Crusher!
I've developed and facilitated numerous leadership workshops across the country and have coached people for decades dealing with difficult situations.
For many years, I desired to write a candid book for single-again women letting them know they are not alone. – I am happy to have accomplished that goal! "How Do I Live Single Again? -Navigating the Life You Hadn't Planned." is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and other online retailers.
My book was a personal mountain I worked hard to crush. I know what it's like to desire accomplishment, face delays, bump into obstacles, feel inadequate, and simply reach exhaustion.
If you've been there, if you are there, you don't have to go it alone!
I look forward to helping you conquer the personal challenges you're facing.
What mountain would you like to crush today?!

If you're up against a mountain and have a little faith,
I look forward to helping you claim the phrase
I've chosen for my business...
–"Mountain? Move! "
Who I am...
While I have the typical list of education degrees, certifications, and association memberships, I'd much rather let you know "who I am", my personality. coaching style, and the areas where I have the most experience and passion.
After being raised in the mid-west, I moved to the mountains of Colorado, and then spent most of my adult life in the hills of middle Tennessee. My website photo features Pikes Peak where I have the fondest of memories exploring with my two kids. They are now grown, and we are still making the fondest of memories with our expanded family! After many gulf coast vacations, I have followed my dream to buy a fixer-upper near the beach. Although I spent my career in HR solving problems and developing leaders, I grew up around construction and still pride myself on my remodeling skills. My fixer-upper was the perfect retirement plan!
My life path has given me opportunity to experience different parts of our country, cultures, and backgrounds. While I am conservative in nature, I have learned to accept people where they are. I once heard someone say to me, "No judgment here", and I have loved that phrase ever since. – We all have quirks, mistakes, fears, and failures. When we meet, you will get my authentic self! I am kind, patient, and encouraging, with a good sense of humor, and I will be honest with you.
After decades of living single again, I am now married and following my long-time desire of writing books and coaching individuals.
My Life Coaching focus areas are:
-
Personal Growth and Direction
-
Life Transitions (Single-again, Remarriage, Retirement)
-
Career & Leadership Development
I look forward to meeting you and helping you crush your mountains!
