Passion
I get so excited to play a role in anyone's "lightbulb moments." Being able to share what I know, and help people thrive at work in a sustainable way is pretty incredible!
Best Story
I love using relatability and humor in my presentations. In keynotes and workshops that include self-awareness and boundary setting, I share a story of my (then 4 year old) son designing a sign that said "Not Available" so friends would give him some space each morning as he transitioned from home to school. He wanted it printed on his shirt, but we talked it through, and agreed a handheld sign would be best, so he could put it down when he was ready to engage. The next day, he marched into preschool with a little sign on a popsicle stick! His teacher loved it, and gave him 15-20 min to warm up to the classroom/mates in his own way. I love how this creative little preschool idea resonates with corporate teams, and helps people to reframe some topics that might be weighing on them.
Origin Story
I held countless titles across three corporate roles, and had my share of challenges navigating the corporate landscape. As I learned more about ADHD and how it impacts adults (and particularly women), I paired this with my education and experiences in leadership development. From designing, developing, and facilitating corporate leadership development programs to working with individuals, teams, and companies to (1) help ADHDers to understand themselves better, and (2) help teammates and leaders embrace the neurodiversity on their team, I've followed my curiosity, and continued to create what I wish I had twenty years ago!
