Why I’m Uniquely Qualified to Help Leaders Break Free and Lead Authentically

If you’ve been following my recent posts, you know I’ve been talking a lot about personal development and leading with confidence. What you might not know is that this shift is built on a solid foundation of over 15 years of experience in leadership development, talent coaching, and instructional design.

Before I fully transitioned into coaching leaders on breaking through internal barriers, I spent years designing high-impact training solutions and facilitating workshops for a diverse range of industries and organizations. My professional journey has taken me from coaching corporate teams at global tech companies to creating transformative learning programs for fast-paced SaaS environments. In every role, I saw the same need emerge: the desire for leaders to align who they are with how they lead.

• At LeadPages, I revamped the training program for new customer support specialists, cutting onboarding time by 20% and boosting team productivity. But what I valued most were the one-on-one coaching sessions where I helped team members move past self-doubt and step confidently into their roles.
• At CA Technologies, I led the development of award-winning global training programs, bridging the gap between technical skills and personal development. My role wasn’t just about teaching skills—it was about helping leaders redefine their value and voice within the organization.
• At Barnes & Noble, I pioneered the design and implementation of the company’s first Learning Management System (LMS), streamlining training and professional development for hundreds of employees. My work here also involved helping develop core competencies for store managers and redesigning the new hire program.

My career has always been rooted in helping people unlock their potential and embrace their full capabilities, but what’s shifted now is the depth of that work. When I was a marketing strategist, I quickly realized that no amount of tactics or strategies would produce lasting success if my clients didn’t first believe in their own brilliance. I found myself coaching them through more than just business strategies—I was helping them confront and release the limiting beliefs that were keeping them from fully stepping into their power.

Tapping Into the True Source of Leadership: Personal Liberation

That’s why I’m so passionate about the work I’m doing now—because I’ve seen firsthand that breaking free from limiting beliefs, especially those rooted in religious or cultural conditioning, can be the difference between a leader who just goes through the motions and a leader who inspires, influences, and transforms.

With a background in training and curriculum design that includes certifications in Human Performance Improvement, Workplace Coaching, and Situational Leadership, I’ve spent years developing leaders who not only succeed in their roles but also elevate the performance and potential of their entire organizations.

Today, I bring all of that expertise into my coaching and training, where I’m focused on liberating leaders from the beliefs that no longer serve them so they can lead authentically, make a more meaningful impact, and live fully aligned lives.

Whether I’m partnering one-on-one with leaders to help them step into their full potential or working directly with organizations to create transformative talent development programs, my focus is on creating impact that challenges the status quo and drives meaningful change.

Light and Liberation,
