It’s a pleasure to meet you!
I am an executive coach, an international business and leadership lecturer, and a subject matter expert on workplace culture. I am also the author of the Amazon Best Seller, The Civility Project: How to build a culture of reverence to improve wellness, productivity, and profit.
Coaching · Training · Inspiring
In my 27 years as an Executive Coach and Consultant, I have supported C-suite executives, executive directors, and business owners in establishing and exceeding their goals.
Those who coach with me improve their focus, influence, capacity as effective leaders, and therefore, their results.
Those who attend my conferences and keynote presentations leave inspired and ready to be the change they want to see.
In case you couldn’t tell, I appreciate and respect everything about the game of golf. Besides loving being out in nature, I have learned so much about human performance and the importance of etiquette from playing the game. While I’m a fan of many athletic teams, I’m a huge fan of the Michigan Wolverines!
And even so, we still work with Buckeyes!
Everyone has a Super Power and mine is changing minds and hearts through public speaking and I love it!
I have had the pleasure of working with some incredible organizations from Fortune 500 Companies, and academic institutions to small foundations my celebrated keynote addresses are solutions to the lack of cultural competence, bias, and tone-def conversations that lead to conflict.
The topics for keynote addresses are tailored to the needs of organization and industry. Topics incorporate inclusive leadership, managing bias in decision-making, and to change the best practices for managing a changing workforce.

As you can tell, there is more to me than being an executive coach, an international business and leadership lecturer, and a subject matter expert on workplace culture. I am a woman who found her mission in helping organizations embrace their humanity. I am also a community volunteer, I am active in my church, and I love to travel.
Because of working with my Coach, I am powerfully contributing to the world while happily and gratefully living a life beyond my wildest dreams!
