Accomplishments and Interests:

I am CFP (a Certified Financial Planner), am the Managing Member of Estate & Retirement Strategies, LLC, and am a Registered Investment Advisor. I have been a financial planner for over 20 years working with business owners and affluent women.

I am a founder of the Millionaire Series.com and Million Dollar Marketing Practices.com and the primary host of Defining Millionaire Moments, a monthly audio program of millionaires throughout the world.

I am also a columnist for various financial magazines and authored The 7 Principles for becoming a Millionaire for Life, Powerful lessons to become wealthy, healthy and happy and If Only I Had Known? What you need to do Now to avoid devastating financial mistakes.

I am a past Faculty Member at the Graduate School of Banking in Madison Wisconsin and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Arizona State University.

I am married to Jim Kenehan and have 3 children, Paige, Nicholas & Christopher. We enjoy traveling, movies and all sports.

Personal and Career Goals:
Personal: To continue traveling and to spend more time (possibly move) overseas. We are planning to spend June in the south of France or Spain.

Career: To have meaning in what I do as well as fun. I want to continue to grow and feel challenged and help more people achieve success.

I want to grow my Send out Cards team to 1 million distributors throughout the world.

What objectives do you hope to accomplish as a member of Chats Toastmasters?

To save $10,000 in annual fees from audio edits by stopping to say "um and "you know." This objective has been met so adding a little humor to my presentations could help.

Is public speaking a requirement of your job or profession?

I do a lot of public speaking- live and on webinars.

How would you describe your current skill level as a speaker?

I am a CTM and built my career through public speaking. Since I won the 2008 Mega (Teleseminar) Challenge I do mostly webinars so my live speaking is a bit rusty.

Do you have any specific fears relative to public speaking?

No.. I probably should though!

Why did you choose to join Chats Toastmasters?
They had the best looking members from all of the clubs I interviewed and I enjoy driving 45 minutes each way to get to the meetings.

What can Chats Toastmasters do to help you accomplish your goals?

I would like a mentor who has experience public speaking and can help me add appropriate humor and timing.

What else do you want the group to know about you?

I am natural blond who dyes her hair brunette!
