Neutral Like Neon: Blending Chemistry and Consciousness
Neutral Like Neon: Chemistry, Consciousness & Coaching It was a quiet Saturday afternoon. I had just fed my one-year-old, Abraham, and changed him before heading outside for some fresh air. I laced up my sneakers, packed some water, grabbed my phone and AirPods, and we stepped out for our usual walk through the quiet, blooming […]
Self-Awareness: The Greatest Act of Service in Leadership
What if the greatest act of service isn’t self-sacrifice—but self-awareness? This morning, I found myself reflecting on how we make decisions during intense, high-pressure moments—when time is short, emotions are high, and we’re navigating not just one change, but a transition of transitions. From a leadership and professional lens, I’ve noticed the inner shift I […]
Low-Hanging Fruit: Finding Joy and Success in Life’s Simple Moments
The low-hanging fruit lesson I didn’t expect to learn on a Tuesday evening walk. It was around 5:30 PM when I signed off for the day.

Rethinking Competition: The Power of Collaborative Leadership
Rethinking Competition: The Power of Collaborative Leadership About ten years ago, early in my career, I had the opportunity to attend a women’s leadership training in New York with the American Management Association.

The Hidden Superpower of Resilient Leadership
Adaptability: A Hidden Superpower? Lately, I’ve been reflecting on adaptability—not just as a nice-to-have trait, but as a true superpower.

In my coaching work […]

Remarkable: Embracing Self-Promotion for Women and Minorities
I just attended my first Remarkable workshop and it was truly engaging and eye opening. I also met some truly remarkable people and connected with them on LinkedIn. My biggest takeaway was that there is enough research to prove that both men and women do not like self-promoting women and that we need to end […]
Overcoming Fear of Failure: Create from Wholeness
Back in September, I listened to an audiobook that explored the difference between thought and thinking—and one line really stuck with me: “Are your goals coming out of inspiration or desperation? Do you create because you want to feel whole, or because you are whole?” It struck me so deeply that I shared a quick […]
