With over 25 years of executive-level leadership experience and multiple years in the classroom as a Professor of Organizational Leadership, my career reflects my passion for developing leadership in others. My breadth of experience allows me to understand the challenges and opportunities facing today’s leaders.
I truly believe that everyone has potential to lead and igniting that potential in others brings me great joy.

The journey is more important than the destination, and my passion is to guide people on their leadership journey. But this journey doesn’t need to happen alone. Many amazing people have walked with me on my journey which has sparked my passion to journey with others.
Leadership is a continual growth experience, and the best leaders never forget that.
Experience and a few letters behind the name do not make a person a leader.
