Disruptive & progressive thought leadership.

Speaking and writing engagements that disrupt the way we lead (and live).

We're entering a new era of leadership.


One that doesn't glorify burning the midnight oil (or burning yourself out). Leaders now need to think differently, adapt to new situations, and see through the muck, all while feeling grounded in their purpose.

This is the conversation I'm moving forward, based on my 15+ years of leadership experience and extensive training in neuroscience, trauma-informed practices, and mindfulness.

Come be part of the shift. 

Areas of disruption and expertise: redefining success on our own terms, sustainable paths to productivity and profitability, trauma-informed leadership, reclaiming joy at work, demystifying stress and burnout, empowering women to bridge the gender gap and more.
