"Giving advice, analyzing issues, and solving problems for others comes naturally to me, defying the odds, elevating platforms, and claiming the unexpected; I embrace focused energy and mental power to take myself, and others, to the next level. As the CEO of Effició, Inc., my desire is to have discussions, dialogue, and commentary about living the entrepreneur's life TRANSMOGRIFIED!" Sherese Duncan, CEO
Giving advice, analyzing issues, and solving problems for others always came naturally to Sherese. From childhood friends to college internships, to career transitions; the results were consistent, Duncan was able to make the most logical and effective decisions. Defying the odds, elevating platforms, and claiming the unexpected, this "show me state" born leader is not your average thinker. Instead, she always carried with her the energy and mental power to take herself, and others, to the next level. Sherese was able to, in 1999, walk away from a 9-5 job after earning her MBA degree and create the career of her dreams; a business that would offer advice and solutions to entrepreneurs and position them for self-actualization. In 2001 Effició, Inc. was born.
