Bio

Horizontal Tabs

Bio #1

Nearly 13 years ago, I discovered something powerful: the right leadership development at the right moment can completely change someone's trajectory.

Since then, I've designed and facilitated programs that help leaders unlock their potential—and more importantly, help them unlock it in others. My work has taken me from university classrooms to corporate boardrooms, from startup teams to Fortune 500 executives, and onto international conference stages, reaching audiences across industries and cultures.

I've built global leadership development initiatives, launched innovative learning programs, and coached hundreds of professionals to develop the skills, confidence, and communication abilities they need to truly excel. But what I love most is that moment when someone realizes they're not just managing people—they're actually leading them.

My approach combines adult learning theory, behavioral science, and real-world facilitation expertise to create experiences that don't just inform, but transform. Because the world needs leaders who are both skilled and authentically human.

High-Performance Cultures – Aligning Vision and Objectives

If culture is king, behavior is the queen that moves freely on the board. Are the behaviors you see contributing to a high-performance culture?

Developing a high-performance culture is not an exercise in crossing the finish line, but a constant and intentional objective that is set and reinforced by teams. However, aligning workplace behaviors require more than memos and company directives.

Using Behavioral Elements as a guiding light, this training will explore the specific challenges facing your organizational culture and the strategies for the team to overcome them.

Behavioral Elements – Understanding Motivation and Drives

Behavior is a choice and how we choose to behave determines success and failure. But why do we do what we do, say what we say, and choose what we choose? All of this and more is revealed through this proprietary program based on the 4-Drive Framework.

Understanding our own and others' behavior bestows an amazing advantage in all facets of the workplace. Improve your choices and your bottom line by behaving intelligently.

Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion and Behavior

Influence is a critical element of business, relationships, and life in general. What most people do not realize is that there is a science to persuasion and rapport building, as well as creating messages that resonate with other people. This workshop explores the fundamental elements of persuasive influence, including how people process persuasion, creating or resisting persuasive appeals, and the underlying psychology behind persuasion tools.

Transformational Leadership

Modern leadership no longer requires a title. This is true across a broad spectrum that includes the corporate, nonprofit, and political sectors. Some of the most influential leaders within an organization may be the people sitting in the back row. Transformational leadership strives to empower individuals within an organization to find their inspiration and become leaders in their own right. In this training, participants will learn how to motivate members, create social change within an organization, and implement the tools necessary to develop followers into leaders. Learn how to maximize the potential of the individual to instill lasting sustainable impact, essential for success in today’s organizations.

Selling Your Vision: How to Communicate Value to Motivate and Mobilize People

Many organizations and individuals, do not effectively communicate their vision to their audience. Being able to effectively communicate your message involves tapping into the “identity” of both your organization and your audience to motivate your target and create positive change. This instructional module examines persuasion theory, tactics, and approaches that will give attendees a competitive advantage in sales, marketing, and recruiting. Learn how people understand and react to messages, and find out what motivates people in this interactive training.
