About Sharon Walz
Sharon Walz first began her involvement with OW as a part-time Self-Employment Support Worker in early 1999, while at the same time, pursuing her entrepreneurial endeavour, Solace in Style, creating one-of-a-kind upholstered furniture pieces. She moved to doing full-time self-employment coaching with OW, and upon her departure as a Staff member from OW in June 2001, became a member of OW's Board of Directors.
