My leadership journey began like many of yours: family relationships, sports teams, student council, and community service.  For as long as I can remember, I have been curious about what makes people tick.  My quest to understand human behavior and motivation guided my study of psychology and sociology at Emory University and laid the foundation of Emotional Intelligence and leadership development for the rest of my career.   

A few years into my career I became a manager, which brought its own set of challenges.  On my team of 20, I inherited many resistant to change, a few with performance problems, and one who fully believed they should have been chosen instead of me.  Exemplifying a growth mindset and giving solution focused supervision enabled me to manage through the change.  I got to practice having crucial conversations and making critical decisions skills.   Engaging my team and developing high potential leaders remained my priority.  As a result, my team became top performers and several advanced their careers.    

Unfortunately, my management experience also taught me about the impact of turnover.  It is expensive and exhausting!  To address this problem, we hired coaches and watched retention rates improve.  Having witnessed the positive impact of coaching, I decided to become a leadership coach myself!

I have coached 500+ leaders to engage their teams, manage priorities, and achieve measurable results.  As the founder and CEO of my own company, I created coaching programs and developed a successful business.  I am passionate about developing and retaining high performing and emotionally intelligent leaders!  I love to work with leaders on key topics, such as, confident decision making, difficult conversations, and work life balance.  I help companies with employee engagement, priority management, and strategic planning.
