Strong leadership and confident, emotionally intelligent employees aren't just "nice-to-have." They impact your bottom line, your culture, and your ability to attract and retain top talent. That's where I come in.
With 30 years of corporate leadership, and now as a business owner, master life coach and trainer, I bring a unique blend of real-world experience and transformational strategies to help businesses and teams grow through my business consulting services.
I partner with organizations to:
Develop today's managers into tomorrow's leaders
Evaluate confidence, communication, and emotional intelligence at every level
Reduce costly turnover by training leaders to lead, not just manage
Create values-based workplaces where employees feel engaged and invested
I've worked with businesses of all sizes, from family-owned companies to multi-million-dollar corporations, to design training, mentorship programs, and leadership strategies that drive results.

I had the pleasure of working with Connie during the Hypnosis Business Summit hosted by the Hypnosis Education Association, and she delivered one of the most insightful and actionable presentations of the event. Her talk, "Strategic Planning for Entrepreneurs," offered a practical business growth blueprint that blended heart-centered values with real-world strategy, something every hypnosis business owner needs. Connie's depth of experience, drawn from her award-winning hypnotherapy career, shines through in every word she shares. As a dedicated Hypnobiz-in-a-Box subscriber, she leads by example and walks her talk when it comes to building a focused, scalable hypnosis business. If you're looking for a speaker or a strategic ally who brings clarity, structure, and genuine care to the table, Connie is it.

I was a part of Connie's strategic business program and coaching, and it was fantastic! Each class was filled with so much amazing information. We went through everything together which allowed us all to learn and grow together. Connie is an incredible source of information, wisdom, and practical application! I'm so grateful to have been a part of this class! I also had one on one coaching which was absolutely priceless! Connie has so many tools to help you through any blocks or issues that may be hindering your growth. She is professional, easy to talk to and an absolute inspiration to me. I truly enjoyed working with Connie and am excited that I'm in the monthly group meetings so I can continue in this beautiful community that she has created! I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Our salon team has had a mini retreat on goal setting, a budget workshop, and an awareness master class with Connie, and I have to say each one of these has been outstanding. We learned new things about each other, set goals for different areas of our lives, created a vision for our future, and so much more! I have also had personal sessions with Connie to dig deep into my values and goals as a company and love the clear vision she brought to life. She brings positivity and a safe space to connect and share. She is a true professional and expert!

I hired Connie to do a hypnosis session for my sales team. She took the time to truly understand my team and what she could do to help. She then put together a great training and pulled in so many lessons that truly helped my team. We loved the hypnosis portion, and it was a really fun team building activity. I will be using Connie to help my sales team to improve and gain more confidence for years to come!

Connie provided us 4 different workshops on Communication, Leadership, Public Speaking, and Stress Management. She did a phenomenal job using real examples, facilitating conversation with all staff, and being very engaging. Months later, we still have staff referring back to materials from Connie's workshops. Highly recommend!

Connie did a great job providing a keynote address and learning opportunity for our region's funded partner kick off meeting. Her words were impactful and the message was exactly what we hoped for -appreciation for the past year's work and accomplishments and inspirational and motivational for the year ahead. Highly recommend!

Connie is the only person who could fill the role of life coach in my life with such empowerment, warmhearted caring and ease. I own a successful small business and with her guidance for the past two years I have been able to release past behavior and thought patterns that were pain inflicting....additionally, she strategizes with me on implementing life habits and skills that allow me to continually follow my own dreams and happiness through a business mindset and a personal perspective.
