Leaders show up with their whole hearts.
Women are seen, heard and valued.
Systemic racism is dismantled. Mother Earth is revered. Love is love.
They say you don’t choose your path, it chooses you. That has certainly been true for me. After a lifetime of hustling to be liked, proving and performing, I found myself knees to the ground in the arena. Successful, but at the expense of self-actualization and self-expression. I put down my title and exchanged it for purpose. Descending into deep SOUL work, I began restoring dignity as a birthright and returning home to my true self. Years later, I find myself humbled and bravely owning my Divine Mission - Guiding Humans in Remembering Who They Are. And, I’ve never been more at peace, grounded and courageous with my actions.
I am the Founder of Grandmothers’ Heartbeat and Chief Truth-Teller of Medicine Drops. To support individuals, teams and organizations in moving from armored leadership to daring leadership, I am a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator: A courage-building program based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown.
My street and work cred includes two decades of executive leadership experience at Nike and service as President of a Whole Person Leadership Development company that delivered award winning behavior change programs for those ready to rise into their potential.
In all the work I do, my commitment is to normalize our shared humanness by holding brave space for everybody to be heard, valued and seen - just as they are.
I live with my wife and our highly opinionated, yet cuddly four-legged kids in Palm Springs California, traditional homeland of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
