Some people do what they do for fame and fortune. Some do what they do as only a career. Some are even called based upon natural skills and talents. However, I was chosen and given a Heavenly Heart for helping hurt people recover from their pain and discover their passion. As a Visionary, I see gaps in operations and systems. As a Consultant, I use my skills and talents to create solutions to fill these gaps. Therefore, overall my successful measurable outcomes make this world a better place for all people.
