HOW IT STARTED : MY STORY
I have always had a strong passion for driving business and coaching friends and coworkers on reaching their full potential. After years in management focused on sales and marketing, I finally hit the most beautiful and challenging part of my life… to stop working!! I had my beautiful son Onyx four years ago and went from constantly working to being a stay at home mom. To this day, it’s the hardest job I have ever done, all the skills I seemed to have learned were not applicable as a mother. I decided to take a yoga teacher training for two reasons- getting out of the house & losing the baby weight. What I got was WAY more than that, I felt a deeper connection with myself and my loved ones.
I realized how much I could accomplish in different aspects of my life, I went from not being able to touch my toes to being a yoga teacher!! After teaching at a few studios, I could see a pattern in what drove these fitness and health-related companies we were partnering with and it all came down to community. THIS is the heart of a business, connecting face to face with your demographics creates organic leads that believe in your brand. In the age of online marketing, this was the missing link for me. My company Closely Connected is founded on the idea that positive community relations, organic connections and partnerships are the keys to a thriving business.
