My Journey

My life is an adventure of living my higher purpose.

I support people in all areas of life to live their “how”  and take increasing responsibility to love and lead themselves, their families, and their businesses and associations

Leadership is a crucial aspect of our lives because we all want to be effective—we all want to have a positive influence on those around us. Authentic leadership means living in the here and now.

Every human being has the potential to lve this way. And every time we do, we contribute to a world that works for everyone. This is what I strive for every day—with every action, every thought, every training, every client.

What drives me:

I love empowering people to stretch into new ways of being.

I see every part of our lives as a playing field to explore and evolve. We don’t have to waste even one moment.

That’s why the heart of my work is supporting clients to evolve their whole selves, not just one area. That’s living in the now, everywhere all the time.

We generally focus on improving one area of our lives: business, parenting, relationships, finances, or spiritual development. There is nothing wrong with this. I’ve just met too many people in my career who are thriving in one area and living less fulfilled in other parts of their lives.

When we wake up to our whole selves and our potential, new possibilities happen.
Embrace your MORE!
