If you call forth that which is in you, it will save you.
If you do not call forth what is in you, it will destroy you.

-Gospel of St. Thomas

Why ATHENA?


The ATHENA Institute was founded in 2006 to provide personal and professional development workshops and creative and brand consulting. In my fifteen years in corporate America as a marketer and entrepreneur, what I learned is balance and flow must come within. Health, wealth, home, parenting and personal passions are all a mish-mash of our daily existence. The more we can be in touch with who we are, the better we can be at each and every pursuit. So why do one thing? I know my authentic self would shrivel and throw a toddler tantrum if I tried to wrangle it to only one pursuit. Sure, know that you can do something well and pursue it, but certainly don't squelch the other creative urges that you have, either.

I must thank the wonderful women and men who have supported ATHENA through their wisdom, time and financial support as advisers and corporate sponsors. You can see their links from the home page. Oklahoma, as we all know, is full of good folks.
