Thank you Raleigh, North Carolina

One year ago my husband Dennis Mathias and I left Galena, Ohio to start the second part of our lives together. I had successfully worked with Best Courier, Inc. as a sales director for 20 years. Dennis had worked for The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center for over 30 years as an accomplished medical illustrator, graphic artist and as a fine artist creating portraits, landscapes including a piece that is displayed in the home of pro golfer Jack Nicholas.

Before leaving Ohio I had begun teaching professionals my system of Networking with LinkedIn. With an extensive network of connections in Ohio, I wondered if the business I had established four years ago in Columbus would be successful here in the Triangle area. We were both welcomed with open arms. The networking, social scene and general atmosphere here in Raleigh is incredible. We are both succeeding in our businesses as entrepreneurs and there are a few people I would like to personally thank for introducing me to some of the greatest professionals Raleigh has to offer. Michael Johnson of Intelligent Office (Raleigh), Cat Lewis of Image360 Raleigh Midtown, Haley Lynn Gray of Leadership Girl, Otto Beatty (Intelligent Office Columbus, Ohio), Frank Manson of Principal Financial , Jason Grantham of Mass Mutual, Mike Allison of Mass Mutual, Barbara Belicic and Shannon Flaherty of The Apex Chamber and the many so far that have invested in their success by coming to my class or sharing my information through networking. I thank each and every one for making our transition a positive one.
