Hi, I'm Candice! I'm glad you're here.
My Story
I began my career as a teacher.
I taught high school English before taking my learning and facilitation expertise into the corporate learning space. I loved teaching, but wanted a new challenge, so I spent the next ten years climbing the ladder in corporate America where I led Talent Development teams in several industries: financial services, insurance, retail, and fund accounting. I spearheaded cultural transformation, guided the people change management strategy for a large merger, and facilitated leadership development and coaching for hundreds of leaders to help them build trusting, high-performing teams. My work has been featured in TD Magazine, the flagship magazine of the Association for Talent Development (ATD).
I coach and train.
I provide coaching and training services designed to create lasting, meaningful change. I believe that even small changes can have a profound impact.
On a personal level, I help individuals overcome limiting beliefs and break through barriers by setting actionable, realistic steps to reach their personal and professional goals.
On a broader scale, my team and I partner with organizations to cultivate winning cultures, starting with exceptional leadership. We assist in defining and activating a leadership brand that resonates with every leader in the organization. Through focus groups, workshops, and training sessions, we empower leaders with the skills they need to build engaged, high-performing teams.
I am an impassioned speaker.
I know that public speaking isn't easy; believe me, I've been in your shoes. But I've grown to be a skilled speaker and learned how to manage my speaking anxiety so that I actually enjoy it. I speak at conferences and events, and I've taught public speaking to leaders within the organizations where I worked. Now I help my clients achieve their speaking goals.
My favorite role is Dog Mom.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my not-so-little-chocolate lab Elouise Poppy Coco. She makes life "sweet."
That's my story. What's yours?
Better yet... what do you want your story to be?
Have you ever asked yourself, "What if?" If so, you are not alone. In fact, research continues to show us that most people are not fully satisfied with at least one major aspect of their lives (career, finances, health, relationships).
My approach is simple: I believe that everyone has potential. We have potential to grow, to learn, to become better versions of ourselves. We have the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Leadership & Career Development
Effective team leadership begins with self-leadership. This package is for leaders (both current and aspiring) who wish to gain an understanding of their thought patterns, motivators, and communication style, along with the impact these can have on our workplace relationships. We will talk through current leadership challenges and utilize assessments and tools to build actionable goals to help you either gain the self-leadership needed for a future leadership role, or help you build a more trusting, high-performing team culture.
For those new to the workforce, feeling stuck in an uninspiring job, or looking to make a change, we can help you create a career plan that aligns with your values, strengths, and goals. We will work together to identify your ideal career path and develop a strategy to achieve success.
Because coaching is personalized to each individual, additional tools and assessments may be recommended, which would incur an additional fee. Contact us to learn more about rates and packages.
Public Speaking Coaching
Have you heard that public speaking continually beats DEATH as people's number one fear??
It doesn't have to be that way!!
The ability to engage, inspire, and motivate an audience is a crucial leadership skill, and even the best speakers often say that they face some level of anxiety when they stand in front of a group. You may think you're a "terrible" speaker because you want to vomit every time you have to speak, but the only difference between them and you is that they've learned how to manage their anxiety. And you can, too.
But bidding farewell to that wave of nausea DOES take time and lots of practice. We use an approach based in science to help you retrain your brain's thought patterns, manage anxiety, and give you the confidence you deserve. We will also explore tools to help you craft a compelling message, and you'll learn effective presentation skills. Since each person has unique needs, this package is completely customized to help you work through your individual needs so that you can become the speaker you have always wanted to be.
Don't let public speaking hold you back. Let's talk!

Every coaching session with Candice has helped me move closer to those goals. I am looking forward to continuing working with Candice as I advance my career!"
