About the speaker
REBECCA THOMAS is a veteran entrepreneur, expert problem-solver and writer of useful things. Her entrepreneurial career began at twenty-four with a small real estate firm. In 2005 she opened a retail wine bar that grew into a 150 seat restaurant and recently closed its doors. In 2016, Rebecca began consulting to help select clients access the mentorship and clarity that made a difference throughout her own career.
As a freelance writer, Rebecca maintains a weekly email blog on the subject of what makes a good life. Her work centers on the idea that the examination of the self is a worthwhile endeavor that can contribute a greater good to society at large.
In March 2019, Rebecca showed us how to flow like water. We are glad to have her back, naturally.
