Before becoming a coach, I trained as a physician and worked as a medical writer. This work, although fine, was not purposeful for me, and I knew I needed to work directly with people again. I am now in the business of helping people be effective, calm, and confident in all parts of their life. I have a chapter called \"Making Moments Count\" in the book \"Coaching for Powerful Change\" (2016) and present talks and workshops ranging from Networking with Confidence, to Setting Boundaries, to Boost Your Professional Presence.
