—Let Alone Teach Others How to Lead With Clarity and Compassion.
When I was first elected to public office, I felt completely out of place. I was surrounded by lawyers, engineers, and longtime policymakers. I didn’t have their credentials or technical expertise—and I questioned whether I belonged at the table at all.
But I had something else.
Years earlier, as a business coach, I saw again and again how my clients struggled to implement their ideas—not because they lacked skill, but because of the mindset blocks and internal stories that held them back.
That realization led me to study Compassionate Communication, Positive Intelligence, and Humanistic Neurolinguistic Psychology.
Â
At the same time, I was facing challenges in my personal life that pushed me to the edge and made the need for emotional clarity and authentic connection deeply personal. I turned to these tools not just for professional growth, but for healing.
And they worked.
They helped me reconnect with values, repair important relationships, and discover a kind of strength that didn’t rely on pushing or performing.
When I stepped into leadership, I didn’t initially realize that this—the expertise I had gained by experiencing the transformative power of inner work—was the most powerful thing I brought to the boardroom.
Â
It was the reason people listened.
Â
The reason I could stay grounded in conflict. The reason I could build trust across divides.
That’s What Sparked the Creation of Aligned Leadership Training:
the recognition that our greatest impact comes not from titles or credentials, but from the alignment of our values, voice, and presence.
Today, I help courageous leaders do the same—so they can lead change, inspire others, and stay true to themselves along the way.
