Awakening Business Solutions was birthed after I returned to USA from New Zealand in 2004. My intention was to develop a business that would help business owners and professionals learn skills to break through current limitations and gain tools to overcome obstacles to empowerment. After my first degree in Fine Arts, I ran a pottery business for seven years. I knew nothing about business, and like many artists I was following a passion without the business skills. This was my first awareness of how passion and stratgey need to work together.
When I immigrated to New Zealand in 1993 with my husband and son, we ended up staying for twelve years. While in New Zealand I started a publishing company and self published two books. I lived in an intentional community, helped organize week long women's gatherings and began facilitating team building and leadership training seminars for businesses. I began developing processes and programs for these seminars and events.
I have had many wonderful mentors who have helped me to be where I am today. To name a few,Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Mark Victor Hansen and,T. Harv Ecker. Lastly is Jean Houston who inspired me to see that the older one gets the more energy comes with it.
Our plan is to eventually be in New Zealand for part of each year.
