AS A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP MENTOR,

I help aspiring and seasoned leaders find their purpose. Discover their zone of genius. And fall in love with who they really are.

Because knowing—and being—yourself isn't just the foundation of your authentic impact. It’s your fuel to crush it!

You don’t have to keep trying to measure up to someone else's definition of leadership.

Because the most transformative leaders aren't afraid to challenge conventions. They break the mold. And bring their whole, unapologetic selves to the table.

I’ll help you switch that voice in your head from saying "I'm not enough" to

"I was made for this"

My superpower isn’t my C-suite role experience from the past two decades. Don’t get me wrong, that experience is valuable. But what really makes the difference is the care and connection I bring to every stage, every mastermind, and every mentoring call.

I consider it my mission to help you turn your authenticity into your advantage. And lead from your own playbook.

THE VALUES THAT FUEL MY LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

Courage & Resilience

Dare to embrace discomfort. Get uncomfortable in order to grow. Success isn’t about avoiding mistakes—it’s about adapting to them. 

I often say success is about failing… but fail fast!

Authentic Connection & Transparency

Leadership isn’t about power or perfection—it’s about genuine connection. I champion diverse perspectives, collaboration over competition, and inclusive environments where everyone feels heard and supported to thrive in their own way.

Trailblazing & Visionary

Stop waiting for permission—forge your path and build a legacy. Only you can lead as you, for you. So dream bigger and take bold steps in all you do.

So, How Did I Get Here?

When my daughter called my dreams boring, it cut deep. But it also woke me up to the realization that I was playing it safe.

Something had to change. 
It was time to flip my own switch.

I'd been succeeding in the insurance industry for years, staying in my comfort zone where I knew the business, the products, the stakeholders, and every inch of my swim lane. But I knew I was capable of more—I just wasn't dreaming big enough.

So I did something that terrified me: I put my hand up to run one of the world's largest logistics companies, in an industry I was no expert in. And even though I wasn't a man or a die-hard freight forwarder, I became the first female president of Kuehne+Nagel Canada in its history.

I went from playing simply not to lose to playing to crush my goals and the glass ceilings that threatened to keep me stuck. Now, I help other leaders recognize when they're dimming their own light and show them how to flip their switch. It’s your turn to conquer your fears, claim your seat at the table, and trust in my expertise to lead the way!

Winning the hearts and minds of people is where leadership starts

Resilience Rewired…My Flip the Switch Mantra

I am the architect of opportunity.  I can't wait!  I create.

I am a leader who seizes the moment, even when the moment feels impossible.

I am the discoverer of possibility in places others overlook.

I am the igniter of action, not just for myself, but for those I lead.

I am strong, positively directed, and grounded in purpose.

I face every challenge with clarity, courage, and intention.

Because my future self - and those counting on me - deserve nothing less.
