About Me

“What is your personal growth plan?”

My mentor, Dr. John C. Maxwell, was asked this question many years ago and this began his journey towards seeking an answer and he never stopped developing and formulating plan after plan.

 

I believe we are all created with incredible unique purposes and are equipped with skills and talents to fulfill them. My personal passion and purpose is to lead others towards finding clarity and encouraging and supporting them to reach for and stretch beyond, to the realization of the potential and possibilities within that may never have even been imagined. Unrealized potential is one of life’s tragedies.

Having been born and raised in the Philadelphia area, the daughter of hard working, middle class parents, I learned the importance of commitment, sacrifice, and what truly matters to a child… a connected and loving family. We had more than our fair share of problems, but no matter what, the feeling of security was never threatened.

 

I ask the question about your personal growth plan because, looking back, I developed a love of learning as a young adult. However, I did not formulate a personal growth plan until the last 10 years. In hindsight, I now realize that growth, awareness, and expansion of one’s mind does not happen without being intentional. My hope with Living the Empowered Life is to offer different ways one can engage and begin to feel the exhilaration of realizing their fullest potential.

 

As I too, like Dr. John Maxwell, continue to grow beyond my perceived limits, I encourage you to also step out and share with me as we journey together towards becoming our ideal self and creating our ideal families.
