Advancing Women Leaders
I work with women leaders to build their confident mindset and clarity around what they want and why their leadership matters. Through coaching, they advance in their organization, build their leadership presence, and bring more of themselves to their communities and organizations.
Speak Confidently
Often, leaders undermine their power by using certain phrases in their speaking. In this podcast, I share stories and examples about how tiny changes in our speech can have a huge impact in how we see ourselves and how others experience us.

Power Posing
Our brain and body are connected, and one of the most valuable leadership tools you have is your body. Not only do we get information from our body — such as how tired we are or what our intuition is telling us — but we can also use our body to shift how we think and feel. What I like about this TED talk from Amy Cuddy is the reminder that holding our body in a certain position can make us feel more confident.
Practicing Gratitude
The most powerful way to short-circuit negativity is by using the tool of gratitude: recognizing what you are grateful for and then writing it down or speaking it out loud. There’s always an opportunity for more gratitude for what we have as well as for the people we live and work with. This TED talk is a powerful reminder of this.
