For me, that difference lies in the work I do with organizations to help them create healthy cultures where EVERYONE gets to flourish. Cultures that prioritize mental health, well-being, and morale. And cultures that support leaders and teams to reclaim their energy, so they can beat burnout and thrive under pressure.
My path to this work was shaped by my own experiences. My mental health journey and healing ultimately led me to earn a Ph.D. in Counseling, invest nearly two decades of my life as a graduate professor, and become a full-time speaker with over 30 years’ stage experience.
Along the way, I faced many of the same challenges the audiences I speak to face today—the toxic workplaces, the destructive leaders, and the dysfunctional teams.
But those experiences helped me realize how ALL of us grapple with the same “people stuff” that so often limits our capacity to be happy, fulfilled, and productive. When we’re faced with these issues, things can feel hopeless—but they’re not.
After investing countless years and resources into this work, what I’ve learned is that:
That’s where I come in.
My people expertise goes beyond theory, allowing me to teach practical skills for common workplace issues with relatability, humor, and compassion.
In my presentations, there’s never any shame or judgment; I meet my audiences where they are and help them recognize the power they possess to radically change their lives.
I can tell you what works, because I’ve spent a lifetime studying it. I understand the power of resilience and healing and emerging stronger. And I know what it’s like to feel happy, purposeful, and productive, because that’s what I get to experience every time I present. That’s what I want for your audiences, too.
