From Setbacks to the C-Suite
My Leadership Journey
I wasn’t always a rebel with a cause. In fact, I struggled a lot.
Early in my career, I hit roadblock after roadblock, fired from my first three jobs, feeling lost, and questioning my path. In school, I never quite fit in. As a young mom and wife in college, I juggled responsibilities, searching for direction but finding only uncertainty.
Those struggles eventually became my fuel. I refused to let setbacks define me. Instead, I broke barriers, redefined leadership, and rose to the C-Suite, creating a path for others to do the same.
Now, I help high-performing leaders fast-track their success, elevate their executive presence, and lead with confidence, while avoiding the roadblocks I faced.
The Executive Breakthrough That Changed Everything
For years, I believed that doing great work was enough. I thought if I kept proving myself, the right people would notice.
But I watched as others, some with less experience, some with fewer results, moved up faster, landed bigger opportunities, and commanded more influence.
It wasn’t because they worked harder or smarter.
It was because they understood something I did not: At the senior leadership level, strategic influence combined with results matter more than effort.
Once I mastered executive presence, leadership influence, and strategic positioning combined with cultural Intelligence, everything changed.
- I stopped waiting to be noticed and started owning the room.
- I transitioned from executor to decision-maker.
- I became the person stakeholders sought out for insights, direction, and leadership.
Now, I help Senior Directors, VPs, and C-Suite Executives achieve the same breakthroughs—without years of trial and error.
