Ten years of riding the startup waves forced Helaine to develop grit, determination, resilience, creative problem solving, deep interpersonal skills, and her own unique leadership style. Now, she's ready to show other women how they can do the same.
With Making Waves, Helaine inspires and speaks to women who want to start something new and change their lives. If she can do it, so can they.

The end will surprise you.
