Since 1982, Bea Vanni has shared her experience with others via public speaking in both business and humanities areas. While her focus is publishing for business purposes, her off-the-beaten-track life gave her the gift of reinventing herself for success. She speaks on leadership; mid-career moves for solo professionals; how to publish without a publisher, and selling your ideas to others. She also speaks on family violence and related topics.
Most recently, she's presented seminars on business blogging and writing CVs for new university graduates and mid-career professionals. She has shared her first career expertise in training local Turkish police and prosecutors about “Influencing the Outcome of Confrontations” and “Family Violence, First Response and the Role of Police and Prosecutor”. Additionally, she originated a training course on “Administrative Excellence for Staff Development”; presented a Leadership Development Certificate Course for 600 students with 3 academics, and presented a paper on Pilot Project Proposals at an international conference in Istanbul.
Prior to working independently, Beatrice Vanni enjoyed a 20-year Law Enforcement and Security career beginning in Sacramento, California, and culminating as an Air Force military officer. One of her most noted accomplishments was as a Systems Security Requirements Officer on the Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which encompassed full integration of all types of security from ground up. Later on, she assumed primary responsibility for all security activities on the CSOC Program.
Since that time, she has worked many years with industry and universities as a project developer and manager.
Bea received her M.A. in Business Management from National University in Los Angeles; a Post-Graduate Certificate in Police Administration, Eastern Kentucky University; a B.A. in Corrections from California State University, Sacramento, and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).
From 1998-2008, Bea resided in Istanbul, Turkey, because she loves Turkish life, the people and the culture. Recently, she relocated back to the U.S. and lives in Cary, North Carolina.
