BIOGRAPHY

I am passionate about helping leaders, teams, and organizations realize their leadership potential by developing leadership behaviors that facilitates others abilities to become leaders, while creating workplaces of meaning.

I have been doing this work for two decades and I understand the complexities of employee engagement, strategic planning, professional growth, conflict and personal productivity. Furthermore, I am an expert in emotional, social and systems intelligence, which enables me to call out and help others to identify and leverage their unique talents and strengths.

As a researcher in leadership development I have the opportunity to dive into and implement the latest research by some amazing thought leaders in fields to include social capital, neuroscience, and organizational behavior.  I am so blessed to be able to share proven theories with my clients that help them to grow, prosper and increase performance.
