Jennifer Salisbury
I am a business developer and own Platinum Business Development, LLC and out of sheer effort it has worked and am now thriving. Check out the site at www.platinumbusinessdevelopment.com. I am based in Maui, Hawaii and Powell River, BC, Canada and consider myself a resident of BOTH.
In 1998, I was commissioned in the US Navy, having earned a BS in Mathematics. I spent time on my first ship in San Diego, but truly came into my element entering Naval Nuclear Power School in Charleston, SC. I completed my nuclear training and spent two years aboard the USS Enterprise in Norfolk, VA. After having earned my first Master’s Degree in Engineering Management, and earned a Engineer certification from the Department of Energy, I separated from the US Navy. I took a leave of absence to assist my family in the transition to Maui. I earned a MBA in learning and knowledge management from Walden University (on-line) in 2007.
It was my passion for learning that drove me to find my true direction in life: assisting people on how to learn better. To that end, I have read over 600 books and written a book entitled “The Cure 4 Common Learning: The Perfect Anecdote of Structured Color”. This book was one of the hardest things to accomplish in my life. The company supporting this book is Learning In Color, Inc. www.learningincolor.com
I was invited to speak at Helen Irlen’s International Learning Conference in Houston, Texas in July 2008. I also conducted an interactive workshop at the Business and Professional Women National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia also in July 2008. Most recently, I have been invited to speak at the Hawaii International Conference on Education in Oahu in January 2010.
My current status: I have four active clients in various industries in Canada and the US, and own four companies. I am publishing my book and am starting a comprehensive marketing campaign including workshops for teachers, students and parents. I am an American Citizen and a Canadian Permanent Resident. I am earning my Doctorate in Education in adult learning (graduation date 2012).
