Message From The Founder

Having the COURAGE to step into LEADERSHIP so I could make an IMPACT on the planet saved my life.


When I was working as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer on the Piers of NY, I wasn’t someone the guys wanted to be around. 


They really didn’t want to work with me – and I certainly wasn’t a leader worth following.


Despite being an A student at the Academy, willing to do the dirty work and being a damn good shot, all they could SEE was the Hair and nails.


Or at least that’s what I told myself.


The truth is all they could FEEL was my energy.

 

So, I invested in a year-long leadership program.


During the program, 25 pairs of eyes on me when the instructor shared I scored a “0” interpersonal skills assessment


“ZERO” 


Ouch. 

 

This feedback changed my life. I learned that the barriers I built to keep me safe got in the way of having a meaningful and happy life, and kept me from being the leader I dreamed of being. 

 

It took COURAGE to take that course, to absorb and make constructive use of the feedback, and to change careers to stand where I am today. 


Leaving law enforcement 17 years ago to step into my divine purpose took a leap of faith.


I used those same leadership skills that opened doors in the government to open opportunities with my leadership company. 


I’ve spoken to groups around the world – and have worked with start-ups to $800 million-dollar businesses, and here’s what I’ve learned… courage is taking a risk, going for it, and seeing what happens, even when you feel scared.


Anais Nin said, “Life Shrinks or Expands in Proportion to One’s Courage.” 

We all have an S.O.S. moment in life… Maybe several…


AT ALL TIMES in life, you are “entering a storm”, “in the midst of a storm,” or “coming out of a storm”


I understand this as this has been my story. 


Courage has been my superpower.


If you're ready to upside your business and your life, schedule a conversation with me.
