Performance Coaching
Jim Soda has worked in mental health, substance use disorder, eating disorder and sports psychology for over 10 years. Jim works with trauma and is EMDR trained, taking this approach with his work in sports performance psychology. Jim believes in both present centered solution focused therapy and exploring and treating past trauma as it relates to current issues.
While Jim's performance training centers on athletes and teams, this type of counseling applies to any high-performance field, including business, music, acting and public speaking. Staying focused and in the moment takes discipline and practice.
Jim specializes in determining what the issue may be through an assessment process. Developing a plan based on your goals is the next step, followed by customizing the treatment to the desired outcome.
Strategic Planning and Events
With over 15 years of Marketing and Event Planning experience, Nikki has the knowledge and tools to help with effecctive strategic planning
Whether it is an educational conference, business convention, upscale dinner party or social event, meetings and events bring people together for a common purpose. Nikki works to ensure that this purpose is achieved seamlessly. She will coordinate every detail of event, from beginning to end. Before a meeting, for example, planners will meet with clients to estimate attendance and determine the meeting’s purpose. During the meeting, they handle meeting logistics such as registering guests and setting up audio/visual equipment for speakers. After the meeting, they survey attendees to find out what topics interested them the most.
Extremely organized, stellar time management skills and an upbeat, positive attitude, make Nikki the ideal event planner to help take the stress off you and allow you to enjoy the event you want to host.
