Bette Dowdell grew up in The Salvation Army, the daughter of not one, but two, preachers, which probably explains a lot.

Bette has been an IBM Systems Engineer, a small-company consultant, the owner of a software company, and, to enhance her investing skills, a NASD-licensed mutual fund representative for The Vanguard Group.

But what Bette likes to do most of all is help people experience success in how they live their lives. And she’s good at it, although her approach can be pretty bracing for anybody trying to slip-slide their way along. Bette’s not your mommy, but she’s a great friend and confidante.

Bette speaks in two areas that have been huge in her life.

First, she loves to motivate and encourage people. In that arena, Bette speaks on maximizing life. A study reported that only 7% of Americans have confidence in themselves; Bette would like to help the other 93% join the party.

Second, Bette’s had to deal with endocrine (thyroid, adrenals, etc.) health problems virtually all her life. Realizing early on that she could expect little help from doctors, she’s spent the last thirty-plus years researching what makes the endocrine system tick. 40% of Americans have thyroid problems alone, so Bette speaks to the needs of a lot of people.
