The biggest challenge facing today’s leaders is…
being busy. There is power in recognizing a need to slow down and improve their potential by being present with themselves and getting comfortable with not knowing and uncertainty.
What matters to me is…
kindness, empathy, authenticity and acceptance that we are human first.
One career move that was risky or took guts was…
quitting my full time job to start my own business crafted around my passion of developing human potential. I haven’t looked back since. It continues to be a rewarding journey.
One place that is special to me is…
the sandy shores of Bournemouth, England because there is nothing that says home to me more than the feeling of cool sand between my toes. It’s not tropical. It’s just as it should be.
