      As a member of GRINDATION, I am able to receive direct coaching from Kendall Ficklin an ETA certified speaker. As a member I have access to a private community of individuals, who are using this platform to enhance not only their business and speaking, but also their personal lives. I have received so much insight and knowledge about being a more impactful speaker, entrepreneur and self-development. I have gained the opportunity of traveling with Kendall to different states, for engagements. This impactful platform has inspired and helped other inspiring speakers, authors, and entrepreneurs to reach new heights.
