Introduction
Summary
"Keeping Your Mojo in a World Full of Eeyores" is my new keynote that addresses 3 key topics for top performance in the financial services industry. I'm always looking for ways to share this fun and thought provoking message to groups.
I'm looking to expand my resume and experience by traveling internationally to present my programs. To date I've had a chance to speak in both the U.S. and Canada.
Just a litte about me: I'm a 22 year veteran of the real estate industry having started my career in sales in the north suburbs of Chicago and moving "home" to Madison in 1993. In 1994 I'm serving as the Operating Principal of 2 Keller Williams Realty Offices in Madison, WI . I've had the chance to give back to the real estate industry that has given me such a rewarding career.
I'm currently a coach with Frame of Mind Coaching based out of Toronto, Canada. I work with groups and individuals to unlock their potential and find they can live a life they love.
I've served as President of the REALTOR Association of South Central Wisconsin and was named "REALTOR of Distinction" by this group in 2001. Recently I was named one of Madison's "40 under 40" by Dane County's In Business Magazine.
I've become a regional certified trainer for Keller Williams University and consistantly receive HIGH marks for my training and development programs. I'm also a member of the John Maxwell Coaching program where I was certified to train 5 Maxwell courses, facilitate Maxwell Masterminds and coach individuals and companies using his leadership centered principals.
