Practical Happiness
I live in Massachusetts
I am a former school teacher with a major in Elementary and Special Education. It was after working with children who were thought to be "unteachable" and getting amazing results, that I began my speaking career. I spoke at teachers' conventions on "How to help the Challenging Child Within the Classroom Setting." As I witnessed the improvements in children by helping them to focus on their strengths and watching their confidence grow as I would catch them "doing things right," I began to use the same stratagies myself. It was life changing. As a result, I have spend over 25 years helping others to discover their greatness, love and appreciate who they are, and create their own happiness, regardless of their circumstances. As a coach and motivatioal speaker, this is my passion.
Interests: I love dancing, reading, great conversations, hiking in nature, being with family and playing games.
