Brand Builder & Business Performance Catalyst. Owner of LeapZone Strategies Inc
Vancouver, Canada Area
As a catalyst for change and a business and branding performance coach, my sole purpose is to empower growth. "Momentum Generator" is my middle name and I have a relentless passion for helping entrepreneurs and business leaders clarify, articulate and reach their goals; and hold them highly accountable through business strategies, planning, and coaching as well as brand alignment and development.
From 1996 to 2006, I co-owned and operated an award-winning creative firm that helped companies raise their business standards and re-define their industries through outstanding brand development and forward thinking communication tools. Since selling this creative firm in 2006, I have shared my knowledge, experience and stories nationwide on how to grow your career while loving life, what it takes for your business to set its brand wheels in motion, and how to build momentum and increase efficiency without hitting the panic button. I have an unquenchable enthusiasm for life, as well as an undeniable, authentic connection with people.
Presently I am co-founder of LeapZone Strategies; a dedicated "yogi" to keep my focus and mental clarity fine-tuned; have hands-on business growth experience under my belt since 1996; a well deserved year off as a globetrotter; and entrepreneurship in my blood. My daily motto: "It is better to do it, than to dwell on it"!
Bridging the gap between business growth and brand alignment. I help motivated entrepreneurs realize their version of massive success while loving life, through business and branding strategies, strategic planning and coaching.
