Judy is a talented and experienced trainer, who worked with our Research & Development team. She took the time to hone in on our goals, paid close attention to detail, and did such a phenomenal job that we asked her to come back for more training with other areas of the company. We learned about each other as a team and were able to incorporate new insights into the workplace.
Judy is organized, prepared, and uses a truly unique technique that expands thinking in ways we never received from other instructors.

The title of my book, Turn Enemies Into Allies: The Art of Peace in the Workplace, says it all. Through interactive presentations and individual coaching, I’ll help you transform conflict by changing your relationship to it. Aikido is the metaphor we’ll use to become more intentional and less reactive, to communicate directly and respectfully, and to create your life and work on purpose.
Ki (pronounced “key”) is Japanese for universal energy or life force; it’s the central syllable in Aikido and the symbol you see in my logo.
