Many people lie awake at night wishing they could get a handle on their stress. Organizations are feeling the negative effects of employee stress and critical incident stress. Lives are being lost needlessly to suicide. No one should have to go through this.That\'s why I provide training, coaching, and accountability to help you and your organization regain control and experience emotional peace no matter what life throws at you. Become stress-resistant and resilient.I have nearly 35 years of experience providing crisis intervention, stress management, peer support, training, and consulting services to first responders, mental health professionals, clergy, school counselors, medical, corporate, and industrial fields. My Ph.D. is in counseling with a concentration in traumatic stress. I am board certified as an expert in traumatic stress and am a retired first responder.With experience in the business sector, law enforcement, fire services, EMS, schools and churches, I\'m uniquely qualified to provide consulting, training and program development in the areas of peer support teams, critical incident stress management, workplace violence, church and workplace safety, suicide intervention, compassion fatigue/burnout, and many other workforce wellness concerns.Take care of yourself and your co-workers. Every organization deserves to be a safe place. Caring for one another. It\'s what it\'s all about.

Experience

1. Storybrand Certified Guide Marketing Agency Owner

   Storymessage Creative

   Jan 2020 — Present · Lake Charles, LA, US

   StoryMessage Creative is a digital marketing consulting and advertising agency helping small businesses, churches and non-profits clarify their marketing messaging to better connect with their prospects, outreach efforts, and potential donors.The mission is simple. StoryMessage wants to help double the size of 100 small businesses, churches and non-profits each year, and I believe the best way to do that is to guide each one through the StoryBrand Marketing framework so they\'ll be able to be clear in their messaging and become the guide in their prospect\'s story.As a StoryBrand Certified Guide, I am able to use simple, proven, story-based techniques to help clients build websites that sell, construct memorable one-liners they can use as their \"elevator pitch\", build scalable sales and marketing funnels, and create beautiful lead magnets that will build a large email database.Many businesses are spending hard-earned profits on marketing and ads, driving people to websites that don\'t convert to sales. I help businesses clarify their marketing message, build websites that work, and help them create sales systems that sell while they sleep. Clients that work with me can reduce their marketing spend while increasing leads and sales.
