My experience
I have spent the last 30 years working for a Fortune 50 Company, one of the top 10 Most Admired Companies in the World, learning leading edge leadership, coaching and training practices.
I have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, an Executive MBA from Purdue University as well as being an ACC Accredited Coach with a Certificate from UTD.
When I started my leadership journey I was young and very often the only woman in the room. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I wish I’d had someone to help me navigate the environment and keep me from making leadership mistakes and mistakes with my career. I had to learn the hard way – you don’t!
The business environment has changed a lot since I was that new young leader but it has not changed enough. Let me help you be the change you want to see in the world today.
Empowering women to be stronger leaders.
It is well known that coaching is essential for success at the next level. Many of us have self limiting beliefs, habits and blind spots that can hold us back from the leader we want to be, in the career we were destined to have.
Change is hard and transformational change is almost impossible to do on your own. Because leadership is a lonely business and you don’t want to air your imperfections out to the world.
As well, the behaviors that got you to a certain level will not help you in the future. You must continue to evolve and up your game. And there’s nothing wrong in asking for help.
Don’t regret that you didn’t live up to your full potential!
