Reinvention: Walking the Talk

At the turn of the millennium, after reaching all of her personal and professional goals, she decided to semi-retire from teaching and training and reevaluate her work, redefine her passions and reinvent her life. Instead of moving forward on the journey she so successfully laid out over her 30-year career, she completely jumped the track.

Following her own advice, the highly successful professor and corporate trainer is now the writer of romantic fiction. In addition to teaching part time and taking on training opportunities she finds interesting and challenging, this high energy women has given birth to a whole new career after the age of 50.
