She has conducted hundreds of seminars for more than 20 years, at conferences, universities, corporations, and also as a keynoter.

Wendy’s work also includes two years as an offsite work-family coordinator for a consortium of 12 companies through a Chamber of Commerce.

Wendy’s background is eclectic, including stints as a child care professional (teacher and program director), work-family coordinator, public policy consultant, fundraiser-outreach manager, event planner, campaign coordinator, executive secretary, office manager, advertising director, and mom. Further, she has owned a tap-dancing messenger service, and has been a juggling teacher, a professional clown, and a Certified Laughter Leader (her favorite job title was that of “Foreign Agent” for a medical imaging company).
