My Story

I've been coaching and developing senior executives for over two decades. I spent my career at top-tier companies like Nvidia, working directly with C-Suite leaders through their most critical transitions. I've helped thousands of leaders advance to top executive positions, served as a decision-maker on executive promotions, and led strategic leadership pipeline conversations at the highest organizational levels.

Over those years, I helped leaders navigate all kinds of transitions; some launched their own ventures, others shifted industries entirely, and many stayed exactly where they were but rediscovered what made their work meaningful. The common thread? They all sensed something had shifted inside them.

I kept seeing the same pattern in different faces. High performers who had built impressive careers. Accomplished by every measure. Yet beneath the success, something had shifted. They had achieved everything they set out to achieve, but their heart had moved on. They sensed something was different, but couldn't quite see what it was.

I was studying these leaders closely. But I didn't fully understand it until I lived it myself.

I was advancing in my career, doing meaningful work, yet sensing something calling me in a different direction. I'd carried a vision since childhood to build my own practice. But I kept thinking "after this next milestone." Years passed. The vision persisted.

I was experiencing the very pattern I'd been observing in others: my Power-Through Pattern running my life on autopilot.

That drive, that determination, that ability to push through any obstacle? It had built my success. But it was now operating unconsciously, directing my energy toward maintaining what I'd built instead of exploring what was calling me forward.

That's when my body forced the decision. I burned out, not from having too much on my plate, but from living out of alignment.

The moment I finally made the transition and started living in alignment with what mattered to me, everything I'd witnessed over two decades made sense.

WHAT I DISCOVERED

Most accomplished leaders don't have a performance problem or a motivation problem. They have an alignment problem.

Life changed. Their values evolved. What lights them up shifted. But their Power-Through Pattern keeps running on autopilot, directing their effort toward maintaining what they've built rather than being who they are today.

At work, it shows up as being busy without feeling fulfilled. At home, it means being physically present but mentally elsewhere. In relationships, it creates distance. The pattern applies the same intensity to everything, even when presence would serve them better.

When that pattern takes over, here's what gets lost: the ability to do more of what you love and make smile-provoking impact.

That's why I developed Leading Enriched™ to help accomplished leaders direct their considerable strength toward what lights them up today, bringing their Power-Through Pattern under conscious control so they can live and lead in alignment with who they are now.

Because when you Lead Enriched, life feels lighter, work feels richer, and impact feels personal. You do more of what you love, show up more powerfully, and create smile-provoking impact in new and interesting ways.
