Early on, she worked for three companies that all taught  her a very valuable principle—nothing will get you further than loving what you do and honestly caring  about those you serve.   Using the experience she gained in those early years and building on her love of this industry, she and her husband began working together as an origination team, succeeding in increasing their production year after year. Although she was part of a top producing team, Rebecca yearned for balance in life—a way to maintain relationships while showing up as the best version of herself each day. She decided she couldn’t keep focusing on «surviving» this industry; she wanted to thrive at work and at home.   She quickly learned this balance wasn’t something that would just magically happen; she had to make  it her guiding purpose and create it herself. As she will be the first to tell you, there are no easy roads,  no series of quick steps, no shortcuts; it is all hard work, long nights, overcoming challenges, dedication to the end goal, and designing an intentional plan for success.   As a result, she significantly increased her production, was working more efficiently, and connecting  even more closely with clients and, best of all, she is able to be the wife and mother her family deserves. Not only does she have the time to spend with family, she can also sit on her back deck gazing  at the mountains along the Front Range in Colorado as the best version of herself, knowing she’s  exactly where she wants to be. Through diligence, dedication, and working with intention, she is living her dream of work-family balance, and she sincerely wants each industry professional to have similar  abundance in life, not just “survive.”  That desire is exactly why Rebecca is here today; over the years, she discovered a true passion for coaching and training. Through countless hours of partnering with industry peers, she has had the  opportunity to speak with, coach, train, and teach thousands of originators. She is genuinely fulfilled by sharing the knowledge she has accumulated over her two decades of industry experience and, in turn, helping others recognize their own potential and achieve their own visions of success.
