Quote:
“I could have been devastated and crumbled, but I was like, I don’t need to prove anything to you. I know who I am. I know my integrity.”
“The lesson that I learned was to get help. I believe in coaching, I believe everyone needs a coach.”
“I develop their leadership presence and their executive presence.”
“The first process is a deep sense of your core values through self-reflective change management.”
“Now that you have this executive presence that you show up with, you have a sphere of people who will recommend you, network with you, sing your praises, so on and so on.”
“My ideal client really is a highly skilled professional woman who had just been stuck and it could be for any reason.”
“What I found was men and women get two different messages from early on and then growing up.”
“We get lots of men and an image of leadership that is male but doesn’t often have the skill for the position. And then we get women who are more than capable to do the job becomes support instead of her taking the lead role.”
“You want people who will give you honest feedback. Feedback is how we grow.”
“What leadership is supposed to be is it’s supposed to impact and influence the other people who you lead.”
“I believe in teaching people, I believe in giving the information and that is not the audience in Facebook and Instagram.”
“My love language and my passion is serving other people. So when I see other people, the light clicks on and it flourishes in their life. It gives me joy. “
