I know its professional benefits and personal drawbacks. When faced with my own challenges in life and work, I learned deeply that all external change starts within and perspective is everything! I put into practice healthier principles by which I live and teach.
My firm, DEFY & HUSTLE™ BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, is dedicated to helping my fellow high-intensity professionals not just cope but thrive in work and life by being their trusted Business Consultant and Performance Coach.
I understand the high-intensity workplace.
