Have you ever wondered how to get your entire team to be more proactive?
The 80/20 Pareto principle says that 80% of your business is generated by 20% of your team.
What if the other 80% caught the vision?
I don't believe that only 20% desire to be flourishing or that anyone wakes up wanting to be less than average.
Yet sadly, on most teams it is true. Most travel teams have a few superstars carrying the load.
It doesn't have to be that way!
The difference happens when we empower our teams.
I am on a mission to help leaders build an entire team of thriving superstars!

When I’m not riding my mountain bike through the luscious forests and beaches here in White Rock, BC, relishing my Nana days with three grandchildren, or enjoying long walks with my husband, Cam, and our faithful four-legged companion, Blueberry – I’m writing my next book Atlas of a Travel Business, coaching travel agency owners to build better advisors faster.

Working this last year with coach Geraldine has been the most informative, eye-opening, and soul-searching time in my business yet!
She has helped me learn to become a better business person, and team leader. She just knows how to bring out the best in me.
Geraldine is the person you would want to work with if you would like to make a change in your business and yourself!

Geraldine is just what you need in a coach. She is a cheerleader when you need her to be, a no-excuse coach when you start telling your story that doesn't help you drive your business. She is agenda-driven but always open to working on something that may have come up between sessions. She works on your strengths and weaknesses and can see in you what maybe you can't see.
