As the founder of Gloves Off, Inc.,Poulsen brings an exceptional ability to identify community leaders who’ve overcome unique struggles and circumstances to find success in their personal and professional lives. By taking the time to understand the various challenges faced by your specific students, Poulsen and her team find just the right speakers and mentors to reach your audience. Speakers will be honest about the challenges they’ve faced, the mistakes they’ve made, and the paths they took to find success. Students engaged in the program will come away with a positive role model that might look different to the idols that they see and hear about otherwise. If you’re looking for the chance to provide students with real, local examples of “turning your life around,” it’s time to take the “Gloves Off” approach.
