Business Turn Around Specialist: My career developed as a turnaround specialist for companies and organizations, driving an increase in revenue, empowering teams, managing, and reducing costs while creating standard operating procedures for continued growth. In 1998, I started working to improve profits with my first organization, where customer satisfaction drastically improved to receive a 95% excellent rating, resulting in 300% growth while decreasing costs by 25% and realizing the first-ever positive cash flow. In 2002, I grew revenue by 20%, reduced costs by 15%, and increased cash flow within the first year. In 2018, with my guidance, an organization increased revenue by developing policies and procedures that reduced confusion and increased organizational effectiveness, resulting in a 10% decrease in cost and a 20% cash flow increase.

Executive Trainer and Facilitator:  Became one of twenty nationally certified trainers representing 2,100 organizations in the US and an international facilitator for communication styles and leadership development for organizations located in Mexico and Asia. Held training for Executives to guide them in improving their organizations through listening to their needs, desires and goals thus increasing revenue, managing expenses while improving processes and systems. I have trained more than 300 executives throughout the Southeast in Board Leadership, Communicating for Clarity, Strategic Planning, Leaders’ Habits, Attributes of High Performing Teams, and many others.
