Best Story
In 2016, I became so burned out that I left my job, gave away most of my things, and lived in the remote jungle of Costa Rica for months. While there, I had no cell service, Wi-fi, TV, or radio, yet I reconnected there with the natural world in a way I had not felt since being a child growing up on a small farm. I discovered how to listen to my intuition there amidst the animals and rainstorms, and then followed it into the most powerful phase of my life...now. I spent a lifetime thinking I had to prove myself to the world, to be perfect, to climb the corporate ladder. Now I know who we are is a choice--that it's OK to be logical and spiritual, tough and empathetic, progressive and sustainable...Nobody has to choose between enjoying life and success. I can show them how.
Origin Story
I see the world through the lens of energy--how we get into action, ignite change, and provide connection, direction, and power. With over 20 years of experience as CEO of several successful small organizations and leading corporate innovation and sustainability, my current purpose is to help leaders identify and tap into their personal and organizational potential through speaking engagements, workshops, and publications.
I have expertise in developing technology solutions, sustainability (ESG) programs, innovations, and investment strategies to engage global stakeholders, increase stock value, and improve profitability. Using what I've learned about behavior change over the years, I'm passionate about growing more sustainable businesses and implementing modern technologies. And, I like keeping it full of fun stories. "Real life is funnier than fiction," they say, and I agree.

RECOVER FROM BURNOUT, TUNE IN TO YOUR INTUITION & IGNITE YOUR POWER
Science proves all living things are made from the same energy source. Our perceptions and emotions react to the physical world we see, as well as the unseen vibes that surround us. Hidden in the space between what we see and what we feel are life-changing lessons from the people and animals around you. This workshop unveils how to uncover insights in your everyday life through intuition. This workshop will help you:
• Identify and shed harmful pressures that make you feel stressed out, disconnected, or off-balance.
• Tune in to your own intuition and identify your unique high vibe activities to reconnect, recharge, and increase positivity.
• Ignite your potential by taking healthy risks.
• Protect your own energy balance and redirect energetic attacks through two proven techniques.
ALIGN YOUR ENERGY, POWER YOUR POTENTIAL: HOW PURPOSE LEADS TO SUCCESS
Just as physical misalignment leads to limitations and lack of movement; so too does energetic misalignment or mismanagement. Learn to actively manage your energy to discover your purpose, transform relationships, and take the risks that will propel you forward personally and professionally.
● Discover your personal purpose. 85% of people are unhappy at work. Employees yearn to experience greater purpose but often struggle to find it. This talk explores how to use one’s intuition to find purpose, and thereby, passion at work. When one’s focus is poured into something they believe in, wellness, connection and success follow.
● Transform relationships at work and at home. Whether it is leading, innovating, influencing, or reconciling differences, there is always an exchange or transference of energy in every interaction.
● Take the risk. Many people fear change. Learn how to navigate risk and take worthy chances by nurturing and consulting your intuition.
