To tell you more, one of the major reasons I became a life coach was that many people who attended my financial programs wanted to work with me one-on-one. They shared with me the impact I made - how they felt more confident & in control of their money and suggested I become a coach.
I took their suggestion and became a life coach whose focus is on the basics – the things that were never learned or are forgotten such as goal setting, prioritizing, budgeting, and building good credit & healthy relationships.
Later, in response to the needs of my clients, I added three specialties, relationship, etiquette, and confidence coaching. What I found was as my clients' finances became solid (and some already were), they wanted to keep moving forward and accomplish more, while feeling satisfied and fulfilled with their life.
As your coach, I can help you on your journey...a journey which I have personally traveled and found success.
Why would you want to work with me? I have a true and deep understanding of the issues people face. I will work with you as an honest partner to help set and achieve your goals.

Where Does Etiquette Fit?
The short answer is everywhere. Let’s start with RESPECT…..a simple word that means a lot and acts as the foundation for etiquette. When I think of the word “respect”, I immediately start singing the song made popular in the 1960’s by Aretha Franklin. Even if you do not know the song, let’s spell-out “respect” and take a closer look at how respect lays the groundwork for etiquette: R: Remember that etiquette begins with this one word, respect. E: Everywhere. Etiquette has a place in every situation.

Want Good Credit? - Back to Basics (Part 1 of 2)
A question that seems to be surfacing a lot lately is how to build good credit . Some people that I talk with have experienced financial difficulties in the past and are now trying to rebuild their personal credit. Others are new to credit, especially young people, and are building credit for the first time. Rebuilding after difficulties and having no credit can be similar. If you do not use credit or have not used it in the past, there is no credit use to rate and thus the affects can be similar. No use or a poor record can be limiting.
