I have been asked to serve as a leader in every organization I have been a part of. I credit that to my inclusive leadership style that makes everyone feel like a part of the team, while striving to achieve results. 

I believe that strong communication skills are at the core of effective leadership – as they impact the ability to be empathetic, build trust on teams, align on goals, and more. My communications expertise was developed throughout my career as a broadcast news journalist, attorney, and business leader. I have coached hundreds of corporate leaders in global companies throughout North America, Asia, and Europe since 2010.

While my career has spanned a few industries, my passion for developing people and helping them to maximize their potential has been at the core. Being a “maximizer” is one of my strengths. I see each person as unique, whole, and valuable at a deep spiritual level. 

In addition to leadership development, I’ve been fascinated by career transitions and specifically the big transition from career to retirement. I am trained and certified in helping professionals make the transition to retirement or whatever their “next phase” may be.

For fun, I enjoy spending time outdoors, dancing, singing, wine tasting (Pinot Noir, please) and practicing Shotokan karate. I am also passionate about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and being a steward of the environment.
