ABOUT
I discovered my gifts of helping, teaching, and serving while volunteering with children, young adults, and veteran groups. These gifts defined my purpose to help others discover their best self through informing, motivating, and inspiring them. I coach and empower women to navigate the challenges and storms they encounter as they pursue and achieve their goals.
I am known to see the silver lining and opportunity when others see misfortune or hardship. I mentor and coach others to progress and move to the Next Level in their personal and professional lives. I speak on my journey of perseverance, faith, and success.
I am a GRITS (Girl Raised in The South), servant leader, veteran, and entrepreneur. My story is one of perseverance and overcoming. I am a 14-year cancer (leiomyosarcoma) survivor and recently overcame medical issues requiring surgeries for 3 consecutive years. Despite these storms, I have achieved career success in the federal government, a Life Coach Certification, obtained an MBA from Wake Forest University, and PhD from Walden University. I am still standing and ready to mentor and coach others on their personal and professional journey.

Weathering The Storm
We all experience storms in our lives. Weathering the storm is part of our life journey. The talk includes strategies to preserve life's storms and achieve goals.
Goals:
My Vision, My Plan
Each of us has dreams that have not been realized. The talk includes steps to move from vision to a plan to achieve it. This talk directs your path in leveling up to overcome obstacles and fears to move from vision to reality.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Testimonials
Gloria provided an uplifting talk about Veterans' leadership and service in the community that kicked off our Veterans Fair. She is a motivator, and had a powerful call to action for veteran to serve at home.
I hired Gloria to speak for upper level students in the Ford Motor Company's Leadership & Professional Development Program at Clark Atlanta University. Gloria's speaking style is magnetic and she entertains as well as educates. Gloria's candid style, stories and lessons were relevant to the students.
