How to make drinking water a conscious decision.
How to improve your employee’s quality of life at work.
How to lead a culture of wellness and increase engagement
Presenter Bio Much of my day is spent as the director of training and development as well as a general manager for the Wisconsin Athletic Club (WAC)
where I teach my staff the core principles of leadership, training, and personal development.
Shortly after joining the WAC, I couldn’t get enough of what I was studying, learning, and applying, so much that I created my own business,Move Results, as an avenue to engage and impact others through motivational speaking, leadership skill-building facilitation, coaching, andwriting. I am the author of SHIFT: Move from Frustrated to Fulfilled. I feel that the best business to start is one that you need yourself. I justknew it was right because, still to this day, I go to bed and wake up every morning excited to pursue my business. It truly blends my day job
and dream job.
My diverse career endeavors also include Wisconsin Lutheran College as an adjunct professor of adult and graduate studies. Additionally, Iam certified to teach content from John Maxwell, Franklin Covey, and Ken Blanchard.
In my past career, I spent four years as a video scout in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks, two years as the coordinator of basketballoperations in the NCAA with Marquette University, and one year as the director of player development with the University of Utah.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in the past decade, it’s that now is the time to build your career, to shape your life, and to strategically work on
laying the foundation for accomplishing your dreams and prospering to your true potential. While there are many people who try to accomplish
this, very few of them are given a roadmap of where to start; thus, I hope you will find me as your resource for getting your compass pointed inthe right direction.
