I have some VERY BIG and VERY BOLD goals this year! What this means for me is that I have surrounded myself with support – more than I ever have in my entire career. I have several coaches and participate in multiple high-touch, high-level groups, providing me with unprecedented levels of guidance and encouragement. I […]

Simon Sinek is one of the great thought-leaders in the field of leadership. In my opinion, Simon Sinek switched the focus away from the autocratic leader-in-charge to instead speak to leaders who wanted to become better people leaders.

I was leading a training session this week as part of a yearly retreat and one of the topics we covered was how to have better conversations that might not be comfortable or easy.  In all the work I do — helping leaders be better leaders, improving interpersonal relationships, coaching others to make a positive

Even though I sometimes use these terms interchangeably, and they’re not mutually exclusive, I think there’s a nuance to each that’s worth exploring. If you’re dedicated

I’m fascinated by changemakers and cause-based leaders who are doing good for the world. And if you follow me on Instagram or TikTok, you’ll probably notice that I am often interested in unlikely changemakers — those who didn’t necessarily seek leadership positions — but who are still making positive change often in ways they didn’t
