Speaker | Culture Architect | Coach

I help leaders and companies bring their soul to work.

As the founder of Culture of Good and a globally recognized speaker, I’ve spent the last decade guiding organizations to build cultures that care - about their people, their communities, and their bottom line.

Before stepping into the corporate world, I spent 20 years leading in the nonprofit space. That’s where I learned that real leadership starts from within, that purpose is a practice, and that people don’t follow strategy-they follow authenticity.

Today, I partner with teams who are ready to do business differently.

Through keynotes, workshops, and coaching, I help leaders align culture with strategy, create space for meaningful impact, and lead with more heart (and better results).

what i’m about

I don’t just speak. I stir something.

Whether I’m on stage, in a workshop, or coaching one-on-one, I bring the kind of presence that cuts through the noise. I believe leadership isn’t about titles-it’s about how well we lead ourselves, and how deeply we connect with others along the way.

My approach blends real talk with real strategy. No fluff. No hype. Just meaningful moments that move people-from insight to action, from burnout to purpose, from culture-as-a-buzzword to culture-as-a-competitive-edge.

If you're looking for someone to challenge your team while championing their growth, to spark purpose while building performance, this is what I’m about.

why i do it

Because I’ve seen what happens when people show up fully alive at work.

I do this because culture isn’t a poster on the wall, it’s how people feel on Monday morning. Because leadership isn’t about being in charge, it’s about making people feel like they matter.

I’ve watched organizations transform when they lead with purpose, and I’ve seen individuals reignite their passion when they remember why they started. That’s why I do what I do. To wake people up to what matters. To help them lead with soul, not just skill.

At the end of the day, this work is about helping people and companies do more than succeed. It’s about helping them do good, and feel good doing it.

coaching

Personal & Professional - Credentialed through Lark’s Song Coaching Certification (LSCC)

My coaching approach is deeply personal- because leadership is personal. I guide leaders through a transformative process that begins with self-discovery. Together, we uncover blind spots, clarify purpose, and build practices that support emotional intelligence, resilience, and alignment. Whether navigating change or chasing growth, every session is designed to help leaders live and lead from a place of wholeness and intention.

At the same time, we focus on professional outcomes that drive real results. I help executives and leaders sharpen their strategic thinking, elevate their communication, and align their leadership presence with the culture they want to create. Whether you're stepping into a new role or leveling up in your current one, my coaching is designed to grow not just the leader - but the business, the team, and the culture around them.
