Lead with Truth
Live with Courage
Rise Stronger
I’m not here to preach perfection — I’ve lived the messy middle. From boardrooms to breakdowns, I’ve been there, done that, and I've got the scars (and wisdom) to prove it.
After thirty years as an HR executive and leadership coach, I’ve learned one undeniable truth:
The hardest person you’ll ever have to lead is yourself.
I help leaders and teams discover what’s really driving their behavior — and how to unlock the strength, humor, and humanity that turn challenges into growth.
My speaking style blends insight with laughter, vulnerability with strength, and heart with a little fire. Because this isn’t about motivational fluff, it’s about transformation — the kind that starts inside and ripples out to the world around us.
We’re not just talking about leadership. We’re talking about leading a life that’s real, brave, and worth following.
The world is hurting. People are divided.
It's time for leaders to rise stronger, wiser, and more human than ever.
When we lead with truth and authenticity, we create workplaces (and worlds) that work better for everyone.
I’m here to help you do exactly that — through laughter, honesty, and sometimes a little discomfort.
(because that’s where the breakthroughs live).
The way forward isn’t through louder voices — it’s through truer ones.
