Bio:

Pamela Slim is a seasoned coach and writer who helps frustrated employees in corporate jobs break out and start their own business. A former corporate manager and entrepreneur herself for more than a decade, she deeply understands the questions and concerns faced by first-time entrepreneurs.  Her expertise in personal and business change was developed through many years consulting inside corporations such as Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard and Charles Schwab, where she coached thousands of executives, managers and employees.   

“Entrepreneurship at its heart is aligning your purpose for being on earth with a business idea so compelling that you simply must do it, despite the fears that hold you back,” says Pam.  Her experience teaching martial arts for 10 years to thousands of students including former gang members has helped her clients deal with fear head-on.  A world traveler, Pam speaks four languages and has lived and worked in Europe and South America.

Pam has trained with “the best-known life coach in America,” New York Times bestseller and O Magazine columnist Martha Beck.  She is married with three kids and lives in Mesa, Arizona.
