As the author of several books, a leadership coach and a passionate CrossFit athlete, I challenge myself daily to grow and be better. I challenge my clients to do the same.

I spent the first half of my life figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I wandered through a lot of changes to discover the truth of who I am. During the wandering and wondering years, I was a writer, a singer, and a global nomad who lived and traveled on three continents. I’m an active co-partner in a long-term marriage and along the way, I became the mother of four children who have grown up to be amazing adults.

I grew up in the School of Hard Knocks and witnessed first-hand many of the conditions that sabotage a person’s ability to succeed. This experience helps me enormously. While observing and talking with thousands of people over several decades, I’ve come to understand that the challenges we all confront are not much different—no matter who you are or what you’re doing in life.

In my experience, it all comes down to your thinking and behavior, and how much you want to change the things that aren’t working for you.
