2012 was a very busy year for me. I’d like to share two celebrations here with you that mark years of training, coaching, and joy for me. In October of 2012, I applied for and received the highest level of coaching certification t

Then, in December of that same year, I completed three years of study with the Center for Transformational Presence Leadership and Coaching, winding up with becoming a Certified Transformational Presence Coach.
