Virginia is a trail blazer. If you are looking for someone to help you navigate the peaks and valleys of your business journey then Virginia is the best trail blazer. Virginia surfaces the magic in others - a gift few possess.
Virginia knows that when you share a problem ... it is seldom the real problem. Virginia probes you with questions to skillfully help you reframe the problem. Then Virginia goes the extra step until you own the problem. Once you own the problem and own the answer, Virginia challenges you to construct a new narrative that allows you to take action.
Virginia does not quote academic business text book chatter like other mentors, consultants or business therapists, she shares her journey and knowledge and you take what you are “ready to hear” from her journey.
