Often referred to as the inner clarity expert, Dr. Roni’s belief is: You are NEVER really confused. You always know what’s in your best interest; you just have to get out of your own way to see it. Dr. Roni is laser sharp at asking the questions that give you the space and open the door for you to actually acknowledge what you already know but don’t see. Clarity is the ultimate transformative experience; it is true perception that actually empowers you to get what you want. When you get clear, you can get moving and get unprecedented results in your life.
Dr. Roni was featured as a TEDx Baltimore Speaker in 2013 and her moving and thought-provoking talk on the future of STEM education was so well received that she was highlighted as one of the featured speakers on the TEDx website.
