Denise's Story How did I become known as the gal who helps people
Get Things Started & Get Things Done?
I’m an author, speaker and trainer who’s passionate about helping women, coaches and entrepreneurs take their BIG ideas for their life and business and make them real. My coaching is centered on strengthening marketing, mindset and motivation mojo using creativity and Implementation! I’ve been doing this kind of work for myself and others my entire life. It wasn’t until the last few years that I really GOT what I do, and now, the rest is becoming history!
One BIG Idea… I was 12 years old and I had the big idea to make a movie. Although I’d never made a movie I was determined to take the plunge. You see, we were the first family in my neighborhood to get what was then a VERY new concept, a portable Bell & Howell video camera. I told everyone (mind you I didn’t ask them!), I told all of my friends we were going to make a movie. I would direct and write it and they’d get the great parts. I’d been inspired by the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind and I was determined to make my very own masterpiece. Did I start the project? Of course I did. Did I get it done? Absolutely! That 20 minute movie full of long shots and laughter was called “The Great Chase.”
Back home there’s a photo of me holding the camera and yelling instructions just like I was a real director. Well, the truth of the matter is, in my minds eye, where it always matters the most, I was a director. Before my mother passed on she gave me the movie reel in an envelope along with a bunch of certificates and medals I won playing track and basketball, and she said something I’ll never forget, she said “This is who you are. That’s you baby.” I didn’t fully grasp what she meant when she gave it to me, but once I watched that reel I understood completely.
You Train Your Whole life for What You’re Good at… You see, I’ve always been a BIG idea kind of gal. I went on to study theatre and film in college and I’ve appeared on television in front of milions as the beloved “Miss Anna” on HBO’s drama series The Wire. (check out the vidoe clip above!) Eventually, I decided to become a professor of theatre so I could do what I loved most, training and coaching others to master the skills that would give them the best chance to achieve their goals and dreams. I now run a business and life coaching practice where I help women, coaches and entrepreneurs to become the dream they imagine in their minds eye and that truly only happens when you can Get Things Started & Get Things Done.
Understanding your Mojo… My birth name is Denise, but you may see me around the blogosphere called by my social media handles - The Motivated Mindset Coach! or The Motivation Mama! Many people have gotten to know me as the Motivation Mojo Tip of the Day lady on Twitter. My mojo flow is all about marketing, creativity, mindset and implementation. That’s what I’m really good at, so thats what I help other people learn how to do.

my mom and I many moons ago!
Learning from Bumps in the Road & Your Greatest Shock… Like many people, I’ve learned some of my greatest lessons from some of the hardest times in my life. When my mother passed away from breast cancer was one of those times. Losing a parent was difficult enough, but this was even more complicated by the fact that I was just one year into my survivorship, still dealing with the large life questions myself, when my mother slipped away in the night. That was four years ago and I can now see that from one of my greatest shocks I gained a committment to resolve. I had a choice to make, I could give up the fight or I could step into my next level of greatness. I think you can tell which choice I made! Oh, and as for my credintials, in addition to 15 years of teaching and training experience, I'm also a certified Reiki Practitioner, a member of The International Association of Coaching, The Creativity Coaching Association and I'm also a tenured College Professor having logged well over 3,000 hours of teaching, coaching and training experience.
