Bad Girls of Columbus

BAD GIRLS of Columbus!

I am very excited and honored to officially call myself a BAD GIRL of Columbus! I pitched the concept of Mindful Management last week to the BGV Selection Committee and was chosen as part of the inaugural class of BGV Columbus. Mindful Management will complete BGV’s 9-week business development course, competing against local women entrepreneurs for access to start-up capital. We will be learning from local business leaders and receive coaching from industry experts to further develop our business strategies. Upon completion of the 9-week course, each finalist will present herself to the BGV Investment Committee—and one finalist will win a $25k low-interest loan. I am thrilled to participate in the competition and look forward to connecting with my fellow class of BAD GIRLS. 

Check out BGV’s founder, Candace Klein, talking about what it really means to be a professional, kick-ass Bad Girl:

Mindful Management goes to Duke University:

In addition to competing in BGV Columbus, I’ll also be attending Duke University’s Integrative Health Coaching Professional Training over the next 3 months. Participants meet at Duke for 3 separate modules, each consisting of 25-30 hours of in-person, classroom, and experiential learning at the state-of-the-art Integrative Medicine facility.

The program seeks to support the transformation of healthcare and equip participants with the knowledge and tools to help people clarify health goals and implement & sustain behavior/lifestyle changes. Our vision for Mindful Management is to include Integrative Health Coaching tools and services in the future to create a more holistic solution to rising healthcare costs. Health management is more than just reacting to disease, it is a proactive strategy to mitigate risk-factors by making choices to optimize one’s health and well-being.

Below is the Wheel of Health, a tool to assist in the development of a personalized and optimal health plan:

I look forward to learning from the leaders of integrative health coaching and sharing my experience with others.
