Today's episode takes us over to London for an engaging understanding of why everyone truly does need an Elsa! You'll learn how a 5 month contract, work ethic and the confidence to network transitioned from a successful career in the arts (specifically dance and jazz) to maintaining a credentialed business with certified programming for business leadership. She is an advisor, mentor, finance expert who's training other business advisors. Most recently awarded by King Charles III, she continues to provide entrepreneurs with a tangible blueprint for funding access goals and the mindset skills needed to pursue, establish, and maintain success.
