Thank you for leading an Enterprise Toronto seminar on how to build a website for your business. Based on the participant evaluations, your session was very well received.

The audience particularly liked the team approach and thought your session was 'very important for every business'. Congratulations on a job well done.

I just completed a game-changing branding session with Gloria Roheim and Ricardo McRae. In one afternoon, we created a strategic 6-step plan for a business I’ve wanted to start for years. These two saw beyond what I said and translated my ideas into a business. They identified my strengths and packaged them to sell immediately. I highly recommend them if you’re eager to make an impact and start something big!
