What am I passionate about?
Ralph Waldo Emerson said that to be successful you needed to [find] the best in others, [give] of one's self, [leave] the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition, [play and laugh] with enthusiasm and [sing] with exultation; [knowing that] even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
xxWhether I am working with groups or individuals, if I can find the best that is in them, give them some of myself and leave them better off, then I will have succeeded.
What is my personal philosophy?
I believe in people's ability to learn and grow. I believe that people can succeed and accomplish far more than we ever give each other credit for. I believe in the power of meaningful conversation between interested and committed individuals.
xxI believe in having fun. If, at some level, despite all the hard work, we haven't enjoyed knowing each other, it's unsatisfying.
xxI live in New York City and divide my time between clients in Canada and the United States. When not working, I'm likely to be reading a book, going to the theatre - or in the summer - out on the lake in my canoe. I have a past life as a professional singer and have written several songs.
xxI'm a very practical person with an incisive mind balanced with a sensitive and sentimental streak. I also like to enjoy life: a client once called me "A one-woman party!" - Which I assume means that I have an energy that's good to be around!
