1. A more apt title for my position: Fairy God-Mother

2. Rockwood =  an opportunity for amazing people to learn, laugh, cry, dance, walk and talk together to change themselves and the world for the better

3. Three words that describe me as a leader: focused, results (and) love

4. Collaboration means… talking about it then doing it my way (JUST KIDDING) – lifting up all of the voices so that the best path is discovered, not just the loudest or most dominant

5. My Purpose secret practice: drawing any angel card every morning before a training and asking for the blessing it brings for our work that day

6. These days, I’m inspired by: spring/renewal, and the color green which is popping out all over (at least here in Austin TX)

7. The best thing about being a Rockwood trainer: Come on – really? Rockwood trainings are like grown-up camp (minus the horses and the swimming and the camping out, etc.). Anyone who has ever been in a Rockwood training knows that Rockwood trainers have the best job in the world!
