Assisting ambitious professionals to become more creative and better communicators and leaders. That is what gives Bill Monsour the most satisfaction. His love of communication took shape and focus when he studied drama at the Stella Adler Academy in New York.

These skills form the foundation of personal leadership for Bill and he passes this knowledge on to others with his passion and infectious enthusiasm.
