HEARTS, GUITARS AND BUCKETS:
MY PERSONAL LEAP OF FAITH STORY
Do you aspire to be a leader in your work and life? What would you do when faced with a toxic work environment, even though you continue to get promoted through the ranks? When it happened to me, I walked away from it from it all – and then I made it my mission to fix it.
My story of courage, action, change is about taking a leap of faith and starting my own business to build healthier workplaces. I call it my Hearts, Guitars and Buckets story, and I’d love to share it with your group. This is definitely a success story.
And more importantly, facing a difficult decision and taking a leap of faith when those you trust the most think you’re making a big mistake, is a very relatable story for many in the room. As a Colorado-based, award-winning, team-building expert, nationally sought-after speaker and international bestselling author, I would love the opportunity to inspire and motivate your attendees to take action in their own lives and listen to their heart.
