That spark led to my passion for leadership development, and today I leverage that same spark to inspire others to achieve their leadership potential using their authentic style.

I come across many well-respected experts transitioning into new, highly visible roles. They struggled with understanding how to function as a leader, they weren't sure how to delegate work, communicate effectively, and ultimately did not understand their unique way of leading. They enter these amazing roles and are expected to hit the ground running and figure it all out with little to no support.    

I SEE THIS CYCLE OF LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE OFTEN AND HAVE NOW DEVELOPED A FRAMEWORK TO INSPIRE OTHER EXECUTIVES TO OVERCOME THEIR LEADERSHIP HURDLES AND EXPERIENCE THE SAME TRANSFORMATION I DID.

IT WASN’T UNTIL I REGAINED MY VOICE AS A LEADER THAT I BEGAN TO LEAD MORE SEAMLESSLY AND CONFIDENTLY. 

I followed this advice at first, but it was like using my left hand to write (and I'm a righty!). I became nervous about making decisions and was uncertain about the right communications approach. It was like I lost my "sauce!"

ESSENTIALLY, I WAS TOLD TO WATER DOWN THE MAGIC THAT WAS WITHIN ME, ULTIMATELY TAKING AWAY THE UNIQUE STYLE, CULTURAL BACKGROUND, AND VALUES THAT I BRING TO THE TABLE AS A LEADER. 

After working at universities like Columbia and Marquette for almost 10 years, I shifted my career to the corporate sector. When I became a corporate executive, I faced my own dilemma around leading authentically without a roadmap.

After my promotion to the senior leadership ranks, I was immediately given patronizing advice on how to be "more like a leader."
