A Legacy of Leadership, A Voice for Rebalance
Speaker, Author & Advisor
I am a speaker, advisor, and author of The Rebalancing Act: Wisdom from Working Women for Success that Matters. I’ve spent more than three decades navigating the high-pressure worlds of corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and global consulting. My journey spans six continents, 150+ organizations, and industries ranging from energy and finance to tech and healthcare.
My most recent executive role was Vice President of Talent Management, Learning, and Diversity for a $6B international building products company. I’ve led transformative work in operations, marketing, and HR, with a reputation for solving complex business challenges through people-first strategies.
Whether I was rebuilding cultures, scaling leadership pipelines, or aligning teams to strategy, one truth always emerged: the most ambitious professionals often feel the most out of alignment. And that’s where my work begins.
Through my speaking, I uncover the hidden traps high-achieving people fall into— perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance pressure—and offer powerful, practical strategies to create space for what truly matters. My talks blend personal storytelling, deep insight, and audience-affirming humor to help professionals reconnect with their values, reset their priorities, and reshape their legacy.
Audiences don’t just listen—they see themselves in my stories. They leave not just inspired, but equipped to make meaningful changes. Because when we stop chasing balance and start practicing rebalancing, everything shifts. Let’s transform the way we live and lead—one intentional choice at a time.

BEYOND MY WORK: WHAT GROUNDS ME
My greatest joy is my family—my husband Eric, our children Bradley and Bethany, my bonus daughter Alyssa, and our Great Pyrenees, Molly (a.k.a. the world’s best dog).
My favorite things? Faith, live music, chocolate, 70s and 80s song lyrics, trivia nights, meaningful travel, mahjong, and gathering with the people I love.
These aren’t just hobbies. They’re a daily reminder of the kind of rebalance I help others create.
