Create a powerful presence by recognizing your unique story as a compelling connection to people personally and professionally using skills derived from the entertainment business and life experience.

At the age of 16, Sandy Peckinpah left home to travel the world in a musical show. It began her quest to live her life boldly, out loud, and share her story with others. What she didn't know then, was how her life would bring her great joy, but also great challenges.

For 26 years, Sandy worked closely with her late husband, who was an Emmy nominated producer and writer for television and film, developing storylines and characters for shows like Beauty and the Beast, Sliders, and Silk Stalkings. The hit Disney movie, Man of the House, was loosely based on their own family experience. Sandy is a long standing member of the Screen Actors Guild, appearing in two tv movies, and several tv series guest roles. She studied with some of the great teachers in the business, learning how to create characters and entire lives, driven by circumstances we are given.

Sandy used this unique approach to her own life when she discovered how to view it from a "story" perspective. Within her own life's timeline was evidence she'd acquired a set of skills and resilience to bounce back from anything and excel.

Sandy is the author of 4 books, including the award winning, "How to Survive the Worst that Can Happen." Her articles on resilience are featured in Huffington Post, Thrive Global, and Medium.com. Sandy is a former radio show host on AM talk radio in Northern California and Phoenix. She's a frequent broadcaster on Livestream, having done over 350 shows, sharing her passion for helping people rise up through life's challenges.

Her step-by-step approach has resulted in several of her clients restoring their lives, and some having published books they always dreamed of writing. One of her clients wrote, "I didn't know how important my life was until you helped me reveal a new perspective on the things that happened to me. More importantly, I discovered I have a legacy that needs to be shared."

Sandy developed further skills when she became a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in 2003. She has earned the prestigious International President's Circle Award and is designated as a Global Luxury Agent. She also presents regularly to Coldwell Banker, speaking on developing people skills and points of connection.

Sandy is currently Vice President of Orion Trading and Design Corporation, a company created by her husband, that has provided unique glassware and tableware to the hotel and restaurant industry for the last 26 years.

Because of events in her life, Sandy felt inspired to study bereavement and became certified as a Grief Recovery Specialist® through the Grief Recovery Institute in Los Angeles.
