I carry the heart of joy in all that I do. After 40 years of living and leading into my strengths, beating corporate models of leadership at every step of the journey, I elevated from Chicago’s top Maximizing strengths-coach to the nation’s leading speaker and transcendent leadership guide on joy. From the heart of my joy, I speak to the souls of leaders in ways that illuminate just how relevant their own self-love, heart-felt wisdom, and joyful radiance are to the bottom line of everything that they do.
It does not matter if I am working one-on-one with a client, guiding the leadership of an organization, or speaking to audiences of dozens or even hundreds, I am constantly working to convey that the journey into joy is about naming, centering, and honoring the ways in which your heart has led oh so well in this world already. I work with leaders of all stripes so that they can understand the unique ways in which they lead by unlocking the data from the other half of their soul and creating authentic pathways to bring the power of their joy to the world. This is not about fighting against the system or even tearing it down. This is about building pathways of systematic joy, from one heart to the next.
