Tonya delivered an exceptional wealth-building workshop during my international retreat for high-performing women. She was well received by the participants, bringing not only her expertise but also her ability to make complex financial concepts clear and actionable. The content was timely, practical, and directly applicable to the personal and professional lives of the women in the room. Her session sparked meaningful conversations and left attendees empowered with strategies they could immediately put into practice. Tonya’s contribution added tremendous value to the retreat experience.
