Virginia has been a lawyer (and judge) for over 30 years. She has also been a single mother to four children, victim of domestic violence, and a full time caregiver to her husband who contracted ALS. As a result of the challenges she faced in both her professional and personal life, Virginia discovered the power of compassion to heal and flourish. That discovery led her to study the fascinating science of compassion and happiness. Compassion creates “success” in all areas of our lives including health, well-being and professionally. Be compassionate and be successful. She has authored several books on the subject of compassion – one for adults, "Compassion Magic", and a book series for children. She travels around the country and even abroad to bring the message of the power of compassion to improve lives, careers, health and more.

I help leaders of large organizations deliver on their commitments to high performance. Before, during and after an Agile adoption or any kind of Lean transformation, large organizations often find that they need to de-scale and simplify organizational structures and processes. I function as an Executive-level guide for companies approaching their second growth phase. Industry leaders in banking, insurance, telecommunications, healthcare, utilities and media hire me to help remove obstacles in their path to innovation. We address specific pain points in the system so upper-management can learn to enable emergent solutions. For example: ➸ Horizontal complexity- consolidating functions across the enterprise, growing highly effective cross functional teams ➸ Vertical complexity - shedding obsolete roles, layers and reporting structures in order for fast decision making and increased flexibility ➸ Spatial complexity - preparing distributed and remote teams for success, digital is in my genes ➸ Technical complexity - removing technical debt by decoupling, XP and DevOps practices, growing products instead of building them My engagements with clients achieve greater organizational alignment with fewer dependencies left to manage. Transparency with access to good data ensures empirically-sound decision making. As a result, the system becomes leaner, more customer-centric and ready with each successive change wave to build its greatest products yet. Do you want to unlock strengths inside your organization’s culture to navigate new markets and technologies so you come out ahead of competition? Commitment to high performance means removing whatever stands in the way. Reach out to me - I bring intense curiosity to learn about your context and circumstances. For companies that endure, simplicity brings its own rewards. ☕ Specialties: Large-Scale Agile/Scrum Adoptions, Lean Product Development, Agile (Product) Management, Design for Collaboration and Engagement, Lean Startup and Design Thinking

Although my parents were educators, learning was not my priority. This led to tough love meetings, I like to call my parent-teacher conferences, the home edition. After college I began to realize the powerful impacts of education, which makes all professions possible. I now find learning and sharing insight inspiring. Specifically, helping you assess and accelerate the development of the right people, for the most important responsibility in the world, leading people. My career spanned over four decades as a Crash Test Dummy for leader development and culture improvement. What I learned over decades, I teach you in hours or minutes, so you and others benefit for a lifetime. Sixty percent of first-time leaders fail, causing lingering emotional and financial drain. I prevent this problem. I’m a leadership speaker, coach and podcast host. I teach you to solve three common people problems: 1. Endangered People Skills, Communication Paradox 2. Peer to Leader, Now What? 3. Sunday Feelings about Monday Mornings I am seeking opportunities to share my solutions as a speaker, coach or podcast guest. Let's have our "get to know each other" conversation, to understand your event expectations and how I can help you be successful.

A diversified entrepreneur, I am a tax and finance professional, marketing guru, business coach, and musician. In 2010 I started my first business! Now I educate on the benefits of natural remedies in contrast to the more common healthcare and Rx lifestyle. We are taught from a young age to trust drugs and modern medical hype, and it seems that many do not believe that natural alternatives are effective. My vision and passion is to clear up this misunderstanding and promote natural healthy living and healing. I work with individuals, groups, and businesses (Wellness Programs). I am also a public speaker and leadership development coach. I worked with Jackson Hewitt Tax Service from December of 2009 to October of 2013 when I branched out yet again, and moved back to my hometown of Mineola, TX to start my own Tax Service Business! I prepare taxes for individuals and small businesses. I also do bookkeeping and now offer payroll! The 2011 tax season, with Jackson Hewitt, brought me the distinction of being the number two kiosk of all second year kiosks in Walmart stores in the entire United States. Shortly thereafter, I was promoted to marketing manager, and when I worked on another location, one that was struggling, and built it up from one of the worst to one of the highest in growth, I was promoted again. Specialties: Alternative Medicine, Natural Healing, Public Speaking, Leadership Development, and Individual and Business Taxes, and Business Building!
