Proudest Moment In Partnership
About 10 years ago she was talking to her great friend, Phil. He had a wonderful idea for a show. He was wondering if she would write the script for it. She said yes right away.

About the author, Ken
I am the producer and host of Speaking of Partnership, a podcast that was inspired by a life of wearing the badge of self-sufficiency and independence proudly, until I realized it wasn't really a badge...it was armor.
My passion is helping you experience the power and payoffs of partnership by understanding and appreciating the opposite sex so you can feel safe, confident and understood in your personal, professional and family partnerships.
