I’m A strategist, writer, and teacher.

I’ve worked in corporate America for over 20 years as a trusted executive advisor and change leader for some of the world’s best-known companies.

I’ve also taken a few ‘big leaps’ away from corporate, including:

  • a leap into an entirely different career,

  • a leap to a different country, and

  • a leap toward following my purpose.

Now, I help others like me craft their own life story and find life beyond the one-size-fits-all path.

I help black women leaders reclaim their power at work & in relationships through storytelling, shadow work and mindset shifts.

I help would-be corporate dropouts become corporate graduates by launching a new career, launching a digital business or leaning into their purpose.

I help purpose-driven organizations supercharge their missions by becoming self-sustaining. digitally-enabled social enterprises.

I help small but mighty businesses, owners and teams bring their big ideas to life through visioning, goal-setting and mindful work habits.

 
 

My Backstory

I believe that:

Life is a series of experiments.

Work is a school / playground for practicing with your peers.

Relationships are mirrors to help you learn about yourself.

I started my career as a management consultant for one of the Big 4 consulting firms. After 5 years and a pretty successful career, I left.

 

Everyone thought I was crazy.

“How could you leave that good job?” 

But I had my own ideas about life and work.

 

I saw corporate as a means to an end. A place where I could gain new skills, and use my own talents while developing relationships with like-minded colleagues. But life was still somewhere out there.

 

So, I decided to go explore and experiment a bit. Take time off to start a business. After a few years of being a solopreneur, I decided to return to corporate. In an entirely different industry. Where I gained a whole new set of skills and colleagues.

 

I would repeat this cycle of leaving corporate to explore life and returning to corporate to gain new skills 3 more times over the next several years.

 

During that time, I…

  Changed my name.

Renovated 3 homes. 

Moved back to my hometown. 

Moved to another country. 3 times. 


I worked as:  

A freelance writer. 

A creative director.  

An IT project manager. 

An English language teacher. 

And a corporate executive.

 

So, what did I learn from all of that?

 

Lesson 1: I have the power to create the kind of life I dreamed of.

 

Lesson 2: The more you follow your interests, the more fulfillment you'll find.

 

If you've read this far, you're probably like me - bold, adventurous, creative and unapologetic.

I know that the unconventional path can be a lonely one, with hardly anyone to turn to for been-there-done-that advice.

 

That's why I'm so passionate about helping you

become the writer of your own story and

create your own path to success and fulfillment.
