      Having entered a new phase of life in 2017, which I am thoroughly enjoying, I am still open to — occasionally — entertaining opportunities to support organizational and individual development in such areas as team-building, career counseling, leadership development, diversity, interviewing/selection, train-the-trainer, organizational culture, and meeting facilitation. Message me if you'd like to explore such possibilities. I am also spending some time supporting efforts of two family businesses: my parents’ lumberyard in Dallas and my husband’s furniture repair work in Central Texas. Ask me about these, too!
