Leadership Consultant, Executive Coach, College Professor, Certified Mindfulness Instructor
I’m a leadership consultant, executive coach and certified mindfulness instructor with over a decade of non-profit experience and college level teaching. In 2018, I discovered mindfulness during a monk chat in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Traveling throughout Southeast Asia exposed me to different mindfulness practices that inspire my inside-out approach to leadership.
Bamboo reflects my mission because it is a symbol of strength and can withstand harsh conditions. Similar to the resilience of bamboo, mindfulness helps us to better respond to managing stress and challenging situations. I combine my personal experience and research to help leaders at all levels build the resilience of bamboo to navigate workplace challenges and lead authentically.
