My Core Values
I believe people have unlimited potential and we can all continue to grow throughout our lives.
I believe in the power of positivity in encouraging the acceptance of who we are and initiating the growth into who we can become.
I believe your happiness is your gift to the world.
I believe coaching is both a skill set and a transformational way of being and helps people in every walk of life to build high energy relationships and communications to make a difference in their world, and in turn The World.
I believe every person has the right to live a life of their choosing.
I believe the greatest freedom is the freedom of choice. Choice is the freedom to see things as you desire, feel what you want, and live as you create your life to be.
I believe we are all in one human family and nothing exists in isolation of anything else. Each of us has the responsibility to see beyond any illusion of separation and help each other benefit from our connection.

My Story
I realized a few years ago that in my constant pursuit of academic and career recognition, I was not living (nor loving) my own life. Here’s my story how I got to where I am today, empowering people to experience both success and fulfillment in their lives by connecting who they are to what they do.
In 1998, I made a dream come true when I moved to Paris, France.
An international career became my life - managing international assignment programs for global companies, leading multinational service teams, conducting meetings in a foreign language, living in exciting international cities (Paris and London), traveling around Europe, and earning a very comfortable salary.
My days were filled in service to others but I wasn’t feeling fulfilled.
With coaching, I realized where I wasn’t honoring my values in how I was living. I began to focus more on my personal development (in particular the relationship I had with my self) while re-evaluating the place work had in my life. I got better at letting go of control, and my colleagues responded well to my new leadership style. I became better at balancing my professional commitments with my personal needs, and aligned my activities with what mattered most to me.
The changes I made on the inside reflected on the outside. This is why my mantra is
Smile out to the world and the world smiles back!
A move back to the United States in 2006 coincided with my decision to leave corporate management, and I created Your Inner Smile, a coaching practice dedicated to raising consciousness in the world by promoting personal growth and well-being.
Now, I help people experience success and fulfillment by stopping their chase for recognition and start being the best of who they are.
My credentials include an MBA from Thunderbird, the Global School of Management, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in French from Randolph-Macon College and certifications as Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Pilates Instructor.
On a personal note, I am about as apple pie as they come and attribute my greatest moments of personal growth to my cross cultural experiences, having studied or worked in France, Germany, Switzerland, England, and now back in the United States after 8 years abroad.
My favorite personal development tools are my MBT physiological footware and my emWave PSR from HeartMath. You can join me and people all over the world on the HeartMath Institute's Global Coherence Initiative.
It was in my discovery of ballroom dancing that I learned leaders need also be good followers. Life is your dance partner, follow its lead!
