If life is a journey, I believe each of us must honor the sacred integrity of our own path. We must learn to lead from within, aligning our outer choices with our inner values, callings, and convictions. But how exactly?

On Dreams & Miracles…
The moment we quit dreaming is the moment we quit manifesting miracles in our own life, for when we have no intentional aim, we most assuredly will get lost in the wilderness of life. I'm curious to know... Do you take time out to dream on a regular basis? Do you have an intentional aim [...]
What is Your Legacy?
Every step of our journey is a series of beginnings and endings. A continuous stream of movement, each step is an endless series of mini births and deaths - the promise of what's to be and the of letting go of what no longer is; the space in between we call the present. I've been [...]

True leadership is inclusive by nature, building bridges rather than walls through the gift of authentic connection. Rooted in respect, it holds space to acknowledge difference, while remaining aligned to its core vision and values. Born of integrity, it is courageous in thought, word and deed, willing to take risks and advocate for what is [...]

As long as we remain a society that rewards title over influence and power over deep purpose, we will never produce the kind of courageous leaders needed to advance our growth, build bridges [...]
Doing Less to Achieve More
Sometimes it is necessary to do less, in order to achieve more. More focus. More impact. More of what matters most in this moment. When we stretch ourselves too thin, we rob ourselves and others -- of our best work, our best ideas, and our best energy. When we try to do too much at [...]
