Folice is incredibly intuitive, a wonderful listener, and has found her calling as a leadership coach. Most importantly, Folice sees the best in you and helps to build a plan for how to put those strengths and passions to work for you rather than against you.
Equal parts coach and cheerleader, Folice creates a “can do” attitude no matter how difficult the situation.
