Real-world leadership, told through stories that stick.
As a seasoned CHRO in the tech industry and a working mom of six, I bring a bold, human-centered approach to the stage—connecting leadership, resilience, and real-life transformation in ways that resonate with every audience. With 25+ years in HR and executive leadership, I know how to bridge the gap between business strategy, people-first cultures, and the human experiences that shape who we are as leaders.
Whether I’m speaking to executives, emerging leaders, or frontline teams, my style blends authenticity, humor, and hard-earned insight to spark fresh thinking and inspire action. I don’t just deliver a talk—I create an experience that lingers long after the event ends.
​
My speaking approach is:
​
-
Relatable – Real stories. Real challenges. Real solutions.
-
Inspiring – Personal and professional lessons that ignite change.
-
Actionable – Clear, practical takeaways audiences can apply immediately.
​
From high-energy keynotes to interactive workshops, my sessions challenge outdated leadership narratives and empower audiences to embrace both ambition and empathy, power and presence.
If you’re looking for a speaker who will engage your audience, challenge their thinking, and leave them ready to take the next step—let’s make it happen.​

Stories connect us—and they have the power to spark change. When I’m on stage, I use real, unpolished stories to pull people in, challenge perspectives, and inspire action. My talks aren’t lectures—they’re shared experiences that leave audiences thinking, “I see myself in that story.”
​
Through my podcast and speaking engagements, I dive into the human side of work—mistakes, growth, pivots, and all the defining moments that shape who we become as leaders and people. I bring that same authenticity and connection to every keynote and workshop.
