About Colleen Wietmarschen

From introverted child to successful businesswoman to triathlete at age 50, finished a duathlon at age 60, violin student at age 54, and completing a 300-mile bike challenge in 30 days, I aim to face any challenge with an open mind.

As a speaker, I enjoy conveying my vast wisdom of business experience; from running a quarter million plus business to restarting after 18 years, believe me, I've seen it all. I like to bring energy to every engagement and inspire the audience with stories interspersed with value-packed knowledge. I also enjoy being a guest on podcast interviews having lots of fun interacting with hosts and sharing information from restarting my business after 18 years to taking up challenges in my 50s, and more!

I love consulting clients and mentoring students inspiring them as they move to their next level - whatever it is for them.

My favorite quote is "Music Makes Us Human." Author Unknown.
