She will dovetail this with her professional journey, having been trained in the States, Canada, West Africa, and the UK and honing her craft working across the world undertaking International Development Leadership work. Then, her world fell apart after her beloved brother and coach, Tony, was killed in a hit-and-run incident in Dover. Tesse shared how coaching became a gift to her during that time. She will end with a self-reflection piece, which will enable further discovery of your personal and professional bridge to twin compliance with compassion. You will experience the power of the reverse bucket list! Come prepared to be encouraged, valued, and inspired.
