About The Clarion Approach

Communication • Clarity • Connection

These three words have always been part of my life in some way. The services I offer have grown from these three words.

Speaking & Social Media Mgt:Â I have enjoyed years of communicating professionally through public speaking, writing, content writing/editing, and blogging, as well as through many volunteer opportunities. I am energized and fulfilled when lives are transformed through the communication process. I love small business! I enjoy helping busy entrepreneurs and more traditional small businesses get the word out about their brand and important services. (Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook platforms only.) I choose to use social media to bring light, encourage positive impact and do good. The world needs it.

Personal Finance Coaching: My husband and I lived most of our life in financial chaos, crushing debt and little hope for the future. By educating ourselves about personal finances, we now know that knowledge is power, there is a known path to financial peace and we have great hope for our future. There is nothing more thrilling to me than coming alongside others on this journey.

Personal & Small Business Coaching/Mentoring: I have a passion for studying human behavior through Gallup Strengths, the DISC profile and the fascinating dynamics of the seven living generations. They all bring something to the table when trying to understand our fellow human beings. Whether taken in full or in part, I’ve found that these studies in human behavior most often point to the clarity that leads to personal, financial, spiritual, and professional success. It certainly has for me.

I find that I am usually personally mentoring someone on some level, and when it comes to small business, startups and sole proprietors are my favorite.

I married my high school sweetheart and together we raised two fantastic kids ... who have given us three beautiful grandchildren.

Ten Things About Me You Might Not Already Know

10 – I make award-winning chili. I don’t like to cook but I’m pretty good at it. Pinterest and cooking shows are my friends.
9 – I hate talking on the phone, oh, yes, I do. Text or message me.
8 – Have I mentioned Diet Pepsi yet?
7 – I love anything to do with water … hearing it, being in it, around it, under it, looking at it. It’s my happy place.
6 – I’m a singer. It’s always been a privilege to connect with people through song. Music reaches through all barriers between people.
5 – I’m a spelling and grammar freak. I often have to look away on social media.
4 – Unlike most women, chocolate is NOT my favorite treat. I much prefer (not in any particular order) white cake, donuts or cinnamon rolls.
3 – I believe that northern Idaho is the most beautiful place on earth. I spent summers there with my grandparents as a child and teenager soaking in its beauty and peace. I’m a Pacific Northwest girl: rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, meadows and HUCKLEBERRIES.
2 – I hate scary, gory movies. Also dirty, sweaty, slimy movies. What is the point?! However, I am a Trekkie to the core.
1 – COFFEE.
