Impact Transformation....

Known as a consummate leader in my community as well as nationally, I am thrilled and honored to receive this Her Story award from the Global Women's Peace Network May 2024. Awarded for my efforts in making an impact in underserved communities.

In 2021, I was honored with the International Woman of the Year for Promoting Peace, Published poet, Liberte, and recently named by the Phoenix Business Journal as Business Woman of the year 2024. Newest project, Co-Producer on Climate of Hope: Cities Saving the World. The documentary highlights the opportunity to reverse climate change using the tools available in cities.

In my career coaching practice, I have been passionate about helping individuals explore, assess and attain their personal as well was their professional north star where their passion/purpose equate to a position. From new college graduates to C-Suite executives, the successes of my clients has been a key professional goal.

My keynote presentations and workshops are filled with necessary tips, techniques and inspiration to successfully navigate the ever changing world of work and manage transitions throughout a lifetime.

In addition, I have focused on aligning with C- Suite leaders through a wide variety of industries to understand business's most pressing challenges and creating sustainable solutions. Certified as a leadership and sales skills trainer, I have worked with corporations and non profits to bring the best out in their employees boosting both productivity, team cohesiveness and morale.

Raising my two children as a single Mom from the time that they were one and three, I went on to obtain a Master's of Science of Leadership at Grand Canyon University.

During my recent Loaned Executive (LE) experience with VSUW, I had the honor to work for Carla. She is the epitome of what a VSUW Ambassador should be. She is instrumental in the success of our LE class (8 members) as well as prior classes. Carla led the way in educating, guiding, demonstrating, encouraging, mentoring and being a friend with each of us, making us feel quickly like a VSUW employee and being successful in supporting the Corporate Relationship Manager (CRM) team deliver on their goals and objectives. Carla worked with each of us to develop strengths in areas we hadn't experienced in the past. She provided examples from her prior experiences and brought in prior LE's to share their experiences as well -- making our roles easier to envision and live. I wholly support Carla for future leadership roles working with and mentoring other VSUW LE and similar programs with other companies.

Poetry

Poetry is so spontaneous as it allows us in the moment to express love, fears, inspirations, frustrations, successes all feelings in the ebb and flow of our lives. As each poem represents some milestone , I have added pages for your personal notes, reflections and creativity as you ponder the messages in the stanzas.

"Hi Carla, I don’t know if you remember me but you taught one of my classes in college for management. To this day it was one of my favorite and such a well thought out way of teaching. I use all the examples to this day that were taught by you. I hope life is treating you more than well. I was wondering if you were willing to provide me with some advice on furthering my career in Management? I am currently continuing my education at ASU and have completed my associates in Management. Is there any pointers you could provide me with in find jobs in that area? I’m really considering Human Resources. Thanks for you time!"
