Your Solutioneer
Hi, I’m Dee Betts, a professional development specialist with over 15 years of experience in mentoring, coaching, and instructing in post-secondary planning and workforce development. I have directly served over 1100+ people in the span of my career. To date, since March 2021, I have helped secure $220,907 in wage increases for my clients.
I launched this business to help people from all walks of life to UNDERSTAND, THINK, and SPEAK differently about their talents and prepare for their next opportunity. Your cultural experiences and hobbies have relevance! No more removing the box, we’re burning it out back!
My main goals are to empower you with tools and knowledge, help you see your vision, and encourage you to get there.
What People Are Saying
“
I met Dee when I was 18 years old I didn't have a clue of what professionalism was. I didn't have the skills or the courage to speak out as I knew I could. I am more than grateful to have met this young gentleman, who laid out the foundation for a career path in my sight.
