Helene Royal is a woman with a purpose. That purpose is to educate and enlighten her clients, especially young women to become the best they can be. Growing up as a child, Helene was a tall, skinny, big eyed, big feet, tongue-tied girl whose nickname happened to be Tweety! At times she felt ugly, had low self-esteem, and didn’t love who she was. Today she still has those same physical qualities she had as a child. The difference is that she learned to love herself. Now she is confident, classy, and caring; teaching others, through self-development and etiquette programs, what was instilled in her at a very young age, that they are “Wonderfully Made”.
Helene is currently the CEO of H.R. Enterprises which is the Parent Company of her companies, L.I.F.E. Strategies Institute, Wonderfully Made Finishing School, Life Styles by Helene, and a non-profit company in the making.
