She spent the majority of her career in the financial services industry for a Fortune 500 company, most notably developing diversity and inclusion leadership programs and also consulting for sales executives and leaders across the nation. After a successful corporate career she decided to branch out on her own to pursue her dream of writing and consulting with individuals, encouraging all people to stand in their truth and create their own narratives. Candy believes that when we can honestly share our authentic selves in safe spaces, not only do we show up as better employees/spouses/partners, we ultimately open ourselves up to leading more fulfilling lives. Her personal mission is to help and motivate women to stand in their truth and live authentic lives.
After growing up in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Candy completed her undergraduate degree in public relations and organizational communication at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. She went on to receive her master of arts in communication from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, where she taught interpersonal communication and studied cultural communication with a focus on gender identity and conflict resolution. She is a certified coach and a certified trainer, and also holds certifications in mediation and negotiation and change management. She is the mother of three children and two long-haired miniature dachshunds, Charlie Girl and T-Rex. When she is not with her family, she is often traveling to visit her “framily” (friends who are family) around the United States and in England. Candy is a retired rollergirl, former triathlete and half-marathoner, avid yoga enthusiast, Double Stuff Oreo lover, and self-proclaimed goddess of her own untamed and beautifully imperfect life.view less
