I can speak in detail about consulting and multiple industries. My only expectations are that my mentees be 1.) truly invested in themselves, 2.) willing to work hard to achieve their goals, and 3.) life-long-learners.

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

A mixture of in-person and virtual. I can meet early mornings, mid-day, or evenings, I am flexible on locations, and can meet in Seattle or anywhere on the east side.
