2009 Courses

Some of you already know that I’m living the life of my dreams at work, at home and at play. Happiness, loving relationships, satisfaction with life and low stress are the cornerstones of my daily existence. This could be you! If you want to know how, read on:

This year marks a long sought after moment in my history.  Every since I was in college I’ve been told that I should teach college.  In graduate school I had professors that even went so far as to sit me down and try to convince me to get a PhD and teach and not work in corporate America.   And you know, I always knew they were right!  It just took me many years to get here.  but I’m home now!

So now I get the chance to teach at college.  I will be teaching as an Adjunct Instructor for the School of Continuing Studies at the University of Richmond two professional development classes.  And my plan is to teach one of these again in the summer and then both again in the fall.
