She draws upon practical business know-how, life's experiences and years of consulting to major national and international organizations that have ranged from global pharmaceuticals to the US Armed Forces, from health care associations to religious institutions. Executive Excellence magazine selected her as one of the top 100 thought leaders in leadership and among the top ten consultant providers of leadership development.

She served as one of ten faculty members in a business television series, Reclaiming Business Excellence and has headlined with speakers like NBA Coach Pat Riley, Notre Dame's former coach Lou Holtz, Dr. Ken Blanchard, executive strategist Marshall Goldsmith, William Bridges, and boardroom poet, David Whyte.

PHILOSOPHY For Business
Dear Colleague,
To fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance
run." Kipling wrote it. I believe it. When I use an audience's
time, I take the single most precious resource they have-and one
that is non-renewable. They must walk away feeling the time was
more-than-well spent.
I try and live in the world of my client, speak their language,
understand their anxieties and their hopes. Everything is contextual.
With that as a key-underpinning, my programs all serve to leave
people thinking about the possibilities and power they hold inside:
power to lead, power to design a life of their choosing, power to
recognize the possibilities for a higher level of human interaction,
and power to ultimately believe that their presence on this earth
makes a difference.
I believe in the wisdom of my audience and that my job is to help
them reconnect with that wisdom. By using humor, fun, meaningful
interaction, up-to-the-minute ideas derived from current business,
and by being a solid storyteller and actor of the human experiences
we all share, people discover their own wisdom.
No program is ever quite the same because no audience is the same.
The value is that everyone in the audience will walk away with not
only having heard the words but knowing what to do with the words
through my actions, my caring and follow-through. It's my commitment.
Besides, it's the only way I know how to do business.
