Answering the Number One Question I get Asked

Ever wondered why I’m so passionate about leadership development? In this episode, I share my personal journey—from struggling as a first-time manager to founding my leadership development company. I dive into the lessons I learned, the hardships that shaped me, and why leadership and team engagement are at the heart of everything I do.

 

Have you ever felt unprepared for leadership, even when you thought you had all the right experience and credentials? I did too.

Stepping into my first management role, I was confident—until I realized I had no idea what I was doing. No training, no roadmap—just trial and error. Then, the unexpected happened. The pandemic hit, pushing me to grow faster than I ever anticipated. Through personal and professional development, I discovered what truly makes teams thrive.

And then came the most personal turning point—losing my mother. Seeing her dedication to work and the toll it took solidified my mission: to help leaders build better workplaces where people don’t just survive but thrive.

• How my journey from healthcare to leadership development shaped my mission
