Blending humor, empathy, positivity, and accountability, I help leaders initiate change, move forward with clarity, challenge internal narratives, and embrace self-compassion.

Creation of Spark your Mindset
I have been independently consulting with businesses on relationship-building customer service including phone skills, front-line customer service, sales, and leadership techniques for over 20 years. Previously, I was a business consultant for a hospitality software company that assisted the lodging industry on how to drive revenue through elevating sales techniques. Introducing me to the Vacation Rental Industry as a vendor instead of a consumer.
After years of experience, I understood how frustrating it can be to keep up to date with the ever-changing business environment and can relate to your challenges when it comes to marketing, business management, communication, and leadership, and marketing. In 2013, I launched Spark Your Mindset LLC (previously Cammelletti Consulting), focusing on the hospitality industry specifically.
