Point of View
“You are only for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way”- Walter Hagen
Business meetings can sometimes feel perfunctory and perhaps, rushed. I would like to make sure I make each part of the interaction as comfortable and appreciated for all.
Influence
My Sister, who says “When life gives you a lemon, I will grab tequila and salt for you. Let’s make every bit of life worth celebrating!”
Inspiration
A charity is a big part of my inspiration. I am always inspired and honored to contribute for those who work with compassion to make changes for others.
