I am a 25-year HR leader focused on transforming workplace cultures by promoting civility and breaking toxic patterns. I believe 'nice guys finish first,' empowering leaders to create inclusive, high-trust environments.
I love working with growth-minded individuals, leaders and teams to get unstuck, by harnessing their talents, so they can thrive in both work and life.
With experience across industries from Fortune 500s to small businesses, I help organizations shift mindsets, foster collaboration, and drive lasting change.
Certified in HR, coaching, & leadership, my approach is dynamic, empowering, and designed to spark real impact.
With a diverse background spanning various industries and organizations of all sizes, I bring extensive HR experience to the table as a career and leadership coach and keynote speaker. This equips me with a profound understanding of what employers seek in talent and leadership, enabling me to guide individuals effectively for success. Additionally, I have advanced training and certification in leadership development coaching and strengths coaching.
I firmly believe that everyone possesses the ability to thrive in their career journey. However, it's often through self-discovery and unlocking one's potential through leadership development coaching that true success is achieved. As a career coach and executive coach, I aim to provide the guidance and support necessary for clients to uncover their strengths, navigate obstacles, and ultimately realize their full potential and aspirations.
My keynotes and team training programs are crafted to empower you and your team. I'll equip you with the skills to harness your natural talents, achieve team excellence, combat toxicity in the workplace and lead effectively. Together, we'll build stronger bonds, foster collaboration, and drive tangible results.
