About me
I've made a career out of being a leader and teaching others to be leaders, and to be honest, you simply can't be successful without the power and influence of leadership. Simply put, leadership is the ability to influence others to accomplish goals. You don't have to be in a formal position of authority to be a leader and you have many opportunities to enact acts of leadership in your home, life, work, and community.
My background and expertise is in organizational leadership development and culture change. I have attended prestigious leadership development programs at the Harvard Kennedy School for Executive Education, graduated from the American University Key Executive Leadership Certificate Program, and the George Washington University Senior Leader Program. I am a credentialed International Coaching Federation (ICF) executive coach, Gallup-certified Strengths Coach, public speaker, and teach many leadership topics in the classroom.

RESULTS & GOALS
Let me ask you a question. Do you find yourself struggling WAY MORE than you'd like? I will help you to integrate balance in your life so that you are geared up and equipped to have rich relationships, a fulfilling job, and be the best version of yourself. And, most importantly, leave a lasting legacy. You see, I believe you were put on this earth for a purpose. Work hard, play hard, and live the life you imagine. I am a living example and I’ve helped others go from stuck to ecstatic about navigating their peak. Are you ready? We can do this!
HOW I LIKE TO COACH
What a Coaching Relationship with me is like: I am passionate about people and their development with a particular focus on leadership development. I will coach you to maximize your full potential and help you visualize a future that is exciting and obtainable.
I will use my strengths in Maximizer, Strategic, Learner, Futuristic and Responsibility to help you reach your full potential and life's purpose. I believe that listening is an art and will use that skill to help you uncover the self-
limiting beliefs that may have you stuck from moving forward. I am an advocate that will walk alongside you and help you discover and uncover your mission and purpose in life from a whole person perspective - body, mind, heart, and spirit.
