As the CEO of Building Better Futures, LLC, I am a Trainer, Coach and Motivational Speaker with the mission to empower people to live their best lives. I work in both the corporate and the education arenas, where I share evidence-based strategies to improve leadership capacity, build effective teams, increase employee wellness, and meet the social and emotional needs of behaviorally challenging students.I am a certified trainer in DiSC Work and Communication Styles, EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness Coaching, and Restorative Practices. I use all of these tools to help businesses improve their bottom line by retaining the staff in which they have invested time and resources, by increasing engagement and by creating a positive work culture where people enjoy coming to work every day. Inevitably, attendance and productivity increase, relationships between managers and employees improve, and the business soars.I am extremely passionate about my work which is evident in my high-energy, engaging training style. As a licensed social worker with over 20 years experience working with people, I share my knowledge and expertise in a way that is compassionate, authentic and relevant, always reading the room and making in-the-moment adjustments to best meet the needs of the participants.In the school setting, I provide training and embedded coaching for teachers regarding the most behaviorally challenging students. My approach is trauma-sensitive and strengths-based, and I seek to foster collaborative relationships between educators and students as they work together as partners in learning. I have been trained in Collaborative Problem Solving, Restorative Practices and the Mindful Schools curriculum for students ages kindergarten through grade 12. Stay tuned for my book, "Trauma-Compassionate Classrooms: Meeting the Social and Emotional Needs of Students," which will be published by PESI publishing in early 2019.
