Daphne is a valued friend and mentor. Since 2005, her advice has helped me make the most crucial decision in my career. I trust and know she will always give me her honest opinion, even if she thinks I won't like it. Daphne never leads me in the wrong direction. I believe the advice Daphne to me over the years has helped propel my career.
Simply put, I trust her. She always thinks about what is best for me and how I can go farther than even I can conceive. She sees my potential and continues to nurture and guide me there. But, most importantly, she is always there when I need her. She is one of my biggest cheerleaders and champions. I am truly blessed to have her as a friend, sister, and mentor.

Every meeting with Daphne is filled with those dynamic "ah-ha" moments that help you put your upward trajectory in clear view. In transitioning from successful stints in both the public and private sector, Daphne helped me navigate the natural reservations that come with any life-changing careermove. Her reassuring confidence coupled with real-world truth provided the essential foundation needed as I shifted from business leader to business owner. I could not think of a more impactful dynamic voice in the chorus of incredible leaders today.
